If a list of the hottest new energy vehicles is counted before listing, Krypton 00 1 is definitely on the list.
From the product strength to the topic degree, the first model of this brand-new brand can be said to have earned enough attention, and it has also occupied the forefront of the topic list of the bicycle circle for a long time, which can be regarded as the top model of 202 1.
From June 5438 to June 20221October, Krypton finally held a large-scale test drive in Xiamen, which not only used real production models, but also provided two different working conditions, namely road and track, which gave us the opportunity to experience this star product with many "legends" shortly after its birth.
Before the test drive began, Krypton's staff made it clear from the beginning that the reason why Krypton's first model 00 1 was positioned as a "hunting car" was because Krypton wanted to build an interesting model, "instead of being a boring electric car".
Judging from the test drive experience, Krypton 00 1 really did it.
A "flexible fat man"
Although the shape of the "hunting car" is chosen, it is difficult for people to associate it with such words as "sports" and "driving pleasure" whether it is close to the curb weight of 2.4 tons or the wheelbase of 3005 mm Although the comprehensive power is 400kW, the peak torque is 768n·m, and it takes 3.8 seconds to break 100, it also uses 22 inches wide and 265mm continental PC6 tires (two.
Before the test drive, introduce the track of Xiamen International Circuit. Although the total length is only about 1.8km, Xiamen-Malaysia circuit is an F4-class circuit certified by FIA, with 1 1 bend including U-bend and S-bend, and the height drop reaches11m. As a track with short length, many corners and ups and downs, it can be very intuitive.
The compact track is undoubtedly a good thing for an electric car like Krypton 00 1. The direct and fast power output characteristics of the electric vehicle make it accelerate to more than 160km/h on a large straight road less than one kilometer. The heavy braking before 1 also makes people feel the powerful braking performance of the official 100 Akbono four-piston brake.
In the continuous curve with ups and downs, the air suspension and CCD electromagnetic shock absorption carried by the vehicle have obviously played a role. After starting the sport mode, the polar krypton 00 1 will not only have more direct power output, but also reduce the ground clearance to117 mm. Even if the vehicle inclines greatly, the suspension system can quickly stabilize the body.
Coupled with the body weight distribution of 50:50 and the lower vehicle center of gravity, the cornering performance of Krypton 00 1 can be said to be unexpected. Although the "weight" of nearly 2.4 tons makes it impossible for us to accelerate too unscrupulously (otherwise we will push our head down when cornering), the limitation of ESP system also makes it impossible for us to step on the switch of the corner prematurely, and we must wait until the vehicle is straightened. We can accelerate, but as long as we don't easily break through the polar krypton 0068,
Leaving the grand track and entering the Jinkana project, there are many tests such as acceleration, braking, winding piles, turning and elk, which also test the flexibility of Krypton 00 1. As a huge car with a length of 4970mm and a width of 1999mm, I once suspected that krypton 00 1 was difficult to avoid the pile pipe in the round bend project before driving, but the actual result was a hard hit on my face.
In the small track of Kinkana, Krypton 00 1 is extremely flexible to drive, and a steering system with moderate damping, accurate pointing and variable steering ratio is essential. Excellent suspension can stabilize the chassis and body when the center of gravity shifts frequently. For krypton 00 1, the evaluation of a "flexible fat man" can be said to be no exaggeration.
Comfortable family car
After the fun of the track, it returned to the relatively "dull" daily road, and the polar krypton 00 1 showed more identity.
If one word is used to describe its driving quality, it is "comfort".
Compared with the dual-motor version of the track, the road driving model is a single-motor WE version, which has a long battery life. Although it changed from four-wheel drive to rear drive, the power was reduced to 200 kW/384 N m, and the zero-speed acceleration was extended to 6.9 seconds. There is no air suspension, but the price is nearly 70 thousand yuan lower than that of the top model (starting from 299 thousand yuan), and the cruising range of NEDC is 7 12km.
The first feeling of the overhand krypton 00 1 is "stability". This stability comes not only from the steering wheel, but also from the chassis. The front double wishbone+rear multi-link independent suspension is comparable to many luxury brands in hardware specifications, and its treatment of finely bumpy roads can be described as just right, which can not only isolate many annoying vibrations, but also give people a certain sense of road. At the same time, in the face of such a big road bump, it can show a very tough side. This advanced driving quality can be compared with some European luxury models.
Another great feeling is "smoothness". Krypton 00 1 provides a fairly linear sense of acceleration, consciously weakens the acceleration sensitivity at the beginning, and ensures a faster acceleration level, which is not easy to make people feel dizzy. Instead, it's more like driving a high-powered fuel car, which won't make people feel abrupt.
The last big feeling is "quietness". As a high-end luxury electric vehicle, the sound insulation and quietness of Krypton 00 1 are convincing. Thanks to the excellent sound insulation design and the application of double-layer laminated glass, Krypton 00 1 can well isolate tire noise, wind noise and road noise from the window, and even suppress the high-frequency noise of motors that are difficult to control in electric vehicles.
If you score Krypton 00 1 from the aspects of driving texture and driving pleasure, you will definitely get a high score. Whether commuting every day or having fun on the track, this "hunting car" will definitely satisfy you.
As for the appearance and interior, there is absolutely no problem with the texture, and the design angle is even different. While the appearance of hunting clothes attracts a considerable number of consumers, it also excludes those users who prefer the appearance of traditional cars or SUVs to a certain extent, but frameless doors are very eye-catching at any level.
Excellent interior materials, 15.4-inch suspended central control large screen, the leather wrapped outside the seat is quite exquisite, and its functions are heating, ventilation and massage.
When it comes to configuration, krypton 00 1 can be called full in all directions. Whether it's Alcantara coating on the ceiling, leather coating on the seat, center console and interior panel, or some metal hidden wires and matte decorative pieces, the texture and grade of the whole interior are natural. It is also worth mentioning that the blue and white interior is definitely worth choosing, which is more textured than pure black, black/gray and black/brown. The only problem may be that white interiors get dirty easily.
Other configurations, whether it is 1 ultra-long millimeter wave radar, 12 ultrasonic radar, 15 high-definition cameras all over the vehicle, Yamaha stereo with 12 speakers (optional), or super fast charging with a maximum of 360kW, can be regarded as the first echelon of the current configuration of new energy electric vehicles at the same level.
However, apart from its excellent performance, Krypton 00 1 does have some shortcomings at this stage, and it is still a little far from being "complete".
First of all, although the electric door is cool, it is not very convenient to use. In addition to the need for large parking space, doors are sometimes sensitive to surrounding obstacles and sometimes misjudge. For example, occasionally the door will stop when it is far away from the obstacle, and the legs that have not entered the car when the door is closed cannot be well identified. Fortunately, the opening force of the motor is not large, and no one will be injured. In addition, after the back door is fully opened, the angle is not very large, so it will be more difficult for people with mobility difficulties to get on and off the car.
Secondly, the function area of the multi-function steering wheel uses the touchpad, and many functions need to be adjusted through the panel after selecting the central control panel. In addition, the touchpad does not display arrows (displayed on the HUD), which makes people feel a little confused in actual use, especially the adjustment of the steering wheel and the exterior rearview mirror needs to be adjusted in this way, which is inevitably inconvenient.
In addition, the poor optimization of automobile system is also an obvious problem. Although there was no "jam" during the test drive in one day, the response of this extremely krypton 00 1 vehicle can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and some functions obviously "don't follow the hand" when switching, plus the entry and exit of functions have no animation effect, and the voice assistant's recognition speed is not particularly fast, giving people a feeling of "slow vehicle response".
Write it at the end
It is no exaggeration to say that among the 300,000-yuan electric vehicles in the current consumer market, it is difficult for you to find a car with more comprehensive product strength than Krypton 00 1. Judging from the driving quality, this is indeed an electric car with a hall and a kitchen, which is very interesting and comfortable.
But krypton 00 1 is far from perfect, and it is still a complete whole, which also causes different views on it. For such a model with obvious bright spots and remaining slots, maybe we have to wait for a while until OTA is continuously optimized to see its "completeness". But at least at this point in time, this is indeed a "not boring electric car."
