Test drive a friend's Chery ant, and the intuitive feeling is summed up in five words: three good and three bad.

Recently, domestic cars have an interesting way of naming cars, and they like to start with animals, such as Haval big dogs and Euler good cats. Some time ago, they were called by friends to help him test drive and evaluate his new car Chery. The big ant is also this naming routine.

Chery, headquartered in Wuhu, Anhui Province, is an old brand, and its most famous brand is Chery QQ. However, the Tiggo launched in recent years are also selling well. This time, I really look forward to helping my friends test drive this car. I heard that it is Chery's new layout in new energy strategy, both in vehicle design language and technology. I watched it for an hour and drove it for half an hour.

First of all, the appearance value almost subverts the previous impression of Chery. It is said that it was created by an Italian designer. The front face uses a penetrating chrome trim to connect the headlights and the closed middle net. However, if you look closely, you will find that the middle net is engraved with a "Y" shape, which is a bit like a wind power fan, which means clean energy. It is quite innovative, but this Chery logo feels a bit low. Viewed from the top, it looks a bit like an ant.

the side face is the most test of a car. The side face of the car is designed with double waistlines, and one is gathered at the front and rear wheels, which shows the sense of movement of the whole car. In addition, the test drive is a big ant with a red body, which makes the young and fashionable feeling vividly on the paper. R2' s large-size wheel hub is also decorated with Y-shape, which echoes the middle net part, and the tail part adopts through taillights, which is the most popular design style at present. Although some places are not refined enough, it is also a high-value medium-sized SUV.

The second best is the price. Compared with the same level, the price range of this car is only 149.8-189.8 thousand, and the price of any medium-sized SUV (new energy) made in China is estimated to start at 2 thousand, which is also a core competitive point of Chery Ant.

The third best is space and power. It is understood that this car adopts rear drive, which is almost not available in its class. At the same time, it is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with 13kW (12kW for energy-gathering version), with a maximum horsepower of 177 horsepower. At the same time, it has a strong push-back feeling in sports mode. At the same time, the whole system has a standard battery life of 51km, which has no bright spot. It is equipped with a ternary lithium battery, which is fast-charging. It only takes 3 minutes from 2% to 7%. In terms of space, the length, width and height of the car are 463*191*1655mm, and the wheelbase is 283 mm. Both the seating space and the storage space in the car are quite rich.

after talking about the three good things, let's talk about the three bad things. The first bad thing is that the brand influence is not enough. What Chery does in everyone's mind is low-end cars. If it is said that spending 2, yuan to buy a Chery new energy vehicle, many people will find it hard to accept it. Moreover, Chery's new energy technology still has a certain gap compared with Geely and BYD.

The second disadvantage is that the interior materials are rough. Although the overall arrangement of the interior, such as double 12.3 double screen design, 36 holographic images, wooden texture storage desk and so on, all reflect the sense of science and technology, many parts are luxurious to look at, but they feel very plastic to the touch, so you can feel them with your hands. There are too few 4S shops in the third bad first-tier city, and the later maintenance is very inconvenient. If you buy a car in your hometown and drive it in the first-tier city, it will be very troublesome to have problems in the later stage. For example, this car system, a friend's car has been disordered for a few months, such as opening the trunk when the engine is turned off, repeating the destination when navigating, not starting navigation, etc.

But overall, according to its price, it should be regarded as a good domestic pure electric SUV.
