Since we had a detailed static shooting experience before, I will briefly review the static content of this test drive and share some highlights of Mei Tian ET5 with you. From the design point of view, Mei Tian ET5 does not have a "flying self" design like many new energy vehicles. If you don't look carefully, I believe many people will regard it as a fuel car at first.
As the top model in the whole system, this ET5 has the functions of ACC full-speed adaptive cruise, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring, 360 panoramic image, automatic parking and remote parking. Unfortunately, because the vehicle is still a test vehicle, there are still three stages before the final delivery version, so many of these functions have not been activated. Ok, let's talk about design. You may not be particularly impressed by the relatively moderate design, but it must be admitted that this design will not be singled out too many faults, so the interior of Mei Tian ET5 is also the same.
Dual-screen interior is the mainstream configuration at present, and ET5 will not be lacking as a "newcomer". However, it should also be mentioned here that the reflection of the LCD instrument panel is somewhat serious, and the steering wheel can be manually adjusted in four directions, but the adjustment range is not too large. In addition, would it be better to replace the English LOGO on the steering wheel with logo? In fact, the overall texture of the interior is not bad. If these small details can be improved in the subsequent stage of the trial car, then I will give Mei Tian a thumbs-up.
Don't think about this "health". This is not DBJ. In fact, it is to lay the main driver's seat flat for the driver to rest. Seeing this seat, I believe everyone will also think of Wei Lai's "female throne". Yes, their functions are basically the same, except that Mei Tian ET5 put this seat in the main driver's seat. By the way, this function can only be activated when the vehicle is powered on and not ready. The following video demonstrates how this function works. (Ps: In addition to manual operation, it can also be realized by voice)
More exciting videos are on car home Video Channel.
In my impression, Mei Tian ET5 should be the first to make the main driver's seat like this, and this "operation" is also related to the fact that the owner of Mei Tian Automobile likes to rest in the car. This seat will also appear in the co-pilot position in the future Male compatriots who like to rest in the car can come to the car for "health preservation" with their Amway girlfriends (if any). In addition, the camping mode will automatically turn on the headlights to supply power to the outside of the car. In the party mode, the lights will flash alternately to make the atmosphere "up".
Back to this test drive, the main driver's seat can be electrically adjusted in 10 directions (including leg rest and backrest), and the co-driver's seat can be electrically adjusted in 4 directions. The seat has heating and ventilation functions, and the configuration is relatively comprehensive.
Judging from the previous experience, the in-car seating space and loading space of Mei Tian ET5 are good. If you want to know the specific situation, you can click on the article comment link below. After a brief review of the static content, let's get into the driver's seat of Mei Tian ET5, step on the brake and get ready to start.
According to the available information, Mei Tian ET5*** will launch four models with different configurations, but there is no difference in the motors, all of which are motors with maximum power 150kW and maximum torque of 320n·m; In addition to the differences in configuration, the battery capacity of the four models is also different according to the level of configuration. For example, the battery capacity of the test car is 7 1.98kWh, the battery capacity of the medium-sized car is 57.5 1kWh, and the low-priced car is 55.33kWh, and the corresponding NEDC cruising range is 520km, 4 10km and 404 respectively.
After stepping on the brake pedal, you need to press the "engine start key" before the vehicle can enter the ready state where it can move forward at any time. This is also the same operation process as the traditional fuel vehicle. When I first came into contact with Mei Tian ET5, the output characteristics of the motor would not make me worry about the moving difficulty of a car weighing 1.9 tons. The light accelerator pedal is also very friendly to my right foot and it is not easy to jump.
If the creep function is turned off, some friends may wonder if this means that the "single pedal mode" is turned on. Actually, it is not. Because the kinetic energy recovery intensity of this Mei Tian ET5 is not strong at present, although the kinetic energy recovery intensity calibrated by the manufacturer can be adjusted between 20% and 100%, even if it is adjusted to the maximum 100%, the drag feeling after releasing the accelerator pedal is not strong, and it can even be "comparable" to the light kinetic energy recovery intensity of other pure electric vehicles. After the kinetic energy recovery intensity is adjusted to 20%, the performance of the vehicle after releasing the accelerator pedal is the same as that of the fuel vehicle after releasing the accelerator.
After entering the stop-and-go congested road section, the performance of the braking system is still relatively positive. You can stop the car with a little brake and give you a nod occasionally. The engineers of Mei Tian Automobile said that the brake calibration has not been completed yet, and they have noticed this problem. They will debug and optimize it in the subsequent version of the prototype car, hoping not to "goo goo goo".
The chassis performs well in most road conditions, but after bumps or bumps, you can still feel that the integrity of the chassis is somewhat lacking and not compact enough. If you can adjust the chassis in the future, you will have to give a thumbs up again. In addition to the brakes and chassis, the steering force of the steering wheel also needs to be optimized. It is said that the Mei Tian ET5 locomotive has good directivity, but the steering force is heavy and cannot be adjusted. The engineer said that the lathe will add the function of adjusting the steering force in the future, which is relatively simple to solve.
Editor's comment:
Rather than writing a test drive article, I feel that this time it is more like writing a report for Mei Tian Automobile, because as mentioned earlier, the final delivery version of this prototype has three stages, and the driving performance at this stage will not be what it will be delivered to consumers. Although Mei Tian ET5 still has some driving problems to be optimized, at this stage, as the first model of a brand new brand, Mei Tian ET5' s driving performance still exceeds the passing line. If the following test drive can fully optimize these problems, then I still have expectations for Mei Tian ET5.
Of course, without brand reputation, domestic consumers can't buy cars, and how to promote them is another difficult problem for Mei Tian cars. However, according to the information given by the personnel of Mei Tian Automobile Factory, there are currently 1 19 contracted dealers in China, and these dealers will get the vehicles one after another before the official listing of ET5 in Mei Tian in September. I believe that Mei Tian Auto itself has great expectations for the future. (Figure/text/figure? Car home? Zhou You)
