[ Pacific Automobile Evaluation Channel] In recent years, car brands have always liked to come out with new cars. The past year was called the first year of MPV, and this year it has become the world of pure electric mid-size cars. BYD Seal, Changan SL03, Euler Lightning Cat and NIO ET5, etc., and we also test-drove its latest model - Hechuang A06 in the last month of this year (ask for lowest price | check specifications).

In the price range of 179,800 yuan to 269,800 yuan, the Hechuang A06 has the terrifying data of 0-100 acceleration of 3.7 seconds. It also has the most powerful automotive chip 155 on the market. Is the Hechuang A06 with such excellent book parameters really as good as it says?

Test drive: It’s more than just fast

Hechuang A06 has three configurations and two power parameters. The one we tested was the highest-equipped Performance version, which has dual motors at the front and rear. The maximum power of the engine is 160kW, the peak torque is 225N·m; the rear motor has a maximum power of 180kW, a peak torque of 309N·m, a comprehensive power of 340kW (462PS), a comprehensive torque of 534N·m, and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.7 seconds.

Since speed is the main selling point, you must step on the accelerator first to give it a try. Find an empty, unoccupied road section, step on the accelerator to the bottom, and then the back of your head will be hit hard by the headrest, and the whole car will fly out quickly. Well, this is the effect I want.

can’t just be stupidly fast, nor is it good if the power output is too strong. Fortunately, Hechuang has paid attention to this aspect. In addition to stepping on the accelerator hard in the sports mode, and pressing the accelerator deeply most of the time, the power is still very linear. If it is not a "death-seeking" driving method, even a novice driver with no experience can easily control this powerful power. The brake feel of

is remarkable, soft and the braking force output is very linear, but the braking force is not that "excellent". I think this is related to the hardware configuration of dual-piston floating calipers + Giti sports tires. If higher-level tires and brakes are used, a big improvement can be achieved.

When the author came into contact with the Hechuang Z03 before, I felt that the car was very easy to drive, the body was flexible and the chassis was tight enough. On the Hechuang A06, the author experienced this feeling again, and it was obviously more advanced.

Our test drive location is the famous Shenzhen mountain running holy land - Sanzhoutian . Driving a four-wheel drive electric vehicle with a speed of 0.03.7 seconds to run a mountain is a thrilling but also very fun thing. The powerful four-wheel drive The system can press the car to the ground, and the powerful power wants to break through this limit at any time. Carefully control the throttle and steering during the bend, and enjoy the powerful centrifugal force when exiting the bend. The fun of mountain running can only be experienced by drivers with high driving skills.

The suspension setting does not focus only on support like other sports electric vehicles. After all, the Hechuang A06 does not want to turn itself into a road " racing car ". The first half is still slightly soft, and the bumps when passing potholes are still well filtered. The overall comfortable adjustment makes the author very happy.

As an electric vehicle, the level of sound insulation and noise reduction is inherently beautiful. Coupled with ultra-low tire noise, in the noisy metropolis of Shenzhen, the Hechuang A06 brings us precious silence.

Hechuang A06 is equipped with a monocular camera and a driving assistance system called HYCAN Pilot, which includes full-speed adaptive cruise, merging assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping, traffic sign recognition and active brake lights. It can also realize automatic lane changing in areas covered by high-precision maps.

Hechuang A06 Performance is equipped with a 71kWh ternary lithium battery, which supports fast charging. It only takes 0.6 hours to charge from 30% to 80%. The official power consumption of the single motor version is 12.5kWh/100KM, and the pure electric cruising range is 550-630KM.

With abundant power, flexible control and a full set of driving assistance systems, the Hechuang A06 not only has excellent parameters in terms of dynamic performance, but the actual experience is definitely first-class, which indeed gave the author a big surprise.

Appearance: Elegant and unique

The appearance of Hechuang A06 adopts a new brand design language, using many soft lines and streamlined design, making the whole car look very rounded.The body profile, which is low at the front and high in the middle, also looks very elegant.

The fully enclosed grille is a characteristic of pure electric cars, and the trapezoidal front bumper looks like the "Voldemort" design of Tesla Model 3 at first glance, but the millimeter wave radar below is not found in Tesla .

The LED light source headlight set is nothing special, but the super long eyebrows to the center of the cover are really unique, just like a beautiful woman with eye shadow and false eyelashes, her eyes are big and beautiful.

The side of the body is very slender, the front and rear are very flat, and the overall shape is like a cigar.

The Hechuang A06 has a body size of 4965x1920x1520mm and a wheelbase of 2850mm, making it a medium-sized car of normal size.

Low rolling resistance wheels can have higher energy efficiency, the double five-spoke appearance is very unique, and the black color is also very sporty. The tires use Giti CONTROL P10 sports street tires, size 245/40 R19.

The rear shape of the car is very simple. Only one through-type taillight is more conspicuous, and the taillight is also very long, with both sides extending to the sides of the car.

Hechuang A06 adopts a front MacPherson and rear five-link suspension structure. The low-end version has a single-motor front-wheel drive layout, and the top-end model has a dual-motor four-wheel drive layout.

charging ports are located on the left and right rear fenders, with fast charging on the left and slow charging on the right.

Hidden door handles are a very popular design nowadays, but when paired with the streamlined design of Hechuang A06, they look particularly coordinated.

is different from any previous Hechuang models. The unique new design language of Hechuang A06 is indeed eye-catching. The streamlined outline and simple function arrangement not only keep up with the trend, but also show its own unique personality.

Interior: Simple, but without losing the sense of technology

The interior of the Hechuang A06 adopts a symmetrical layout, and all the lines are mainly simple. It is difficult to find other prominent things except the central control screen, which makes people feel a good sense of openness when sitting in it.

The shape of the steering wheel is very familiar, the grip is full, and the outer ring is wrapped in genuine leather. The left button is used to control the assisted driving system, and the right button is used to control the multimedia system. It is a pity that the steering wheel angle of Hechuang A06 only supports up and down adjustment.

has two areas where mobile phones can be placed in the middle, and supports wireless charging function. The angle is slightly tilted, and the mobile phone is placed firmly on it, which is also very convenient when viewing navigation.

The 10.25-inch LCD instrument panel displays very well and has a high resolution. It is mainly used to display current vehicle information, speed and navigation information. You can also see the face detection module on the steering column , which can be used to identify whether the driver is tired while driving.

The 14.6-inch car screen display effect is excellent, and UI is also very simple, without many complicated second and third-level menus, and the 8155 chip also makes it very smooth to use.

In terms of functions, in addition to supporting regular navigation functions and vehicle settings, the car-machine system also supports third-party APPs such as , Tencent Video, , and Bilibili.

We did a simple test on the voice control system of Hechuang A06. The test results are as follows:

Space: Qualified performance of mid-size sedan

The one-piece sports seats have good wrapping, good support for the shoulders and waist, and support electric angle adjustment. It is a pity that there is no adjustable lumbar support.

A passenger with a height of 170cm sits in the front row and adjusts the seat height to the lowest position. The remaining headroom is two fists.

The second-row seats are very spacious and the padding is very soft, which is in sharp contrast to the heavily wrapped seats in the front row, but the comfort is very good.

When the front seat position remains unchanged, the remaining leg space in the rear is three punches, and the remaining head space is one circle (plus points for the panoramic skylight). If you are a taller passenger, you will have some headroom. This is also caused by the appearance lines, but it is passable for a mid-size car.

The official did not give the specific volume of the trunk, but it is estimated to be around 500L, and the rear seat backrests can be folded down in a four- to six-ratio ratio. However, the floor is not flat after being folded down, but has a step.

Editor’s summary

Combining the price and power performance, the Hechuang A06 has achieved the best price/performance ratio in its class. Combined with the configuration and driving experience, it is difficult to find a comparable product at the same price. The emergence of the rival model, the Hechuang A06, means that Hechuang has entered a new product era, and with the A06 car, it is enough to get a piece of the cake in this new era. The author is not only looking forward to the future market performance of the Hechuang A06, but also very optimistic. (Pictures/Text/Photography: Song Fenghua of Pacific Motors)
