Experience Roewe D7 DMH/EV, which is bigger, more luxurious and cheaper than Model 3.
A few years ago, everyone held more than 100,000 yuan. The choice of buying a car was nothing more than joint-venture family cars such as LaVida, Sylphy and Corolla. Not only was the space limited, but the configuration was also quite satisfactory. However, this time is different from the past. As we all know, the domestic new energy vehicle market has made rapid progress in recent years, especially in the market segment of 100,000-150,000, and the competition is particularly fierce. Positioning of B-class cars The price of A-class cars has become the standard of new energy vehicles of independent brands.
The Roewe D7 recently tested by Brother Wheel is one of them. As the first model of the new product series "D family" of SAIC Roewe, it has brought great surprises in terms of space comfort and driving quality, at least compared with the mainstream joint venture B-class cars. I tried both the plug-in version and the pure electric version at one time in this test drive, so let’s talk about the experience of the two cars respectively.
D7 DMH: Long battery life is really fuel-efficient. The primary concern when you choose a plug-in hybrid car is naturally fuel consumption. The hybrid system carried by Roewe D7 DMH belongs to a dual-motor parallel structure, and adopts the form of P1+P3 dual motors+one-gear direct drive. Compared with the mainstream 2-gear /3-gear DHT on the market at present, it is simpler and more compact in structure.
To put it simply, it has the advantage of being lighter. After measured by Brother Wheel, the comprehensive power loss fuel consumption of Roewe D7 DMH can be kept at about 4.3L for 100 kilometers, including after the sports mode is enabled, the fuel consumption performance has not fluctuated obviously.
The WLTC comprehensive efficiency of the motor is over 90%, which means that the whole hybrid system can play efficiently and stably and maintain low fuel consumption regardless of the congested urban road conditions or high-speed and high-load driving.
Before, Brother Wheel also tested a lot of self-owned brand plug-in models. Most of the official fuel consumption is about 4L/100km, but in fact, some models will have a sharp increase in fuel consumption, and there are not many models that can really achieve low fuel consumption in the whole scene. So Roewe D7
DMH still has advantages in this respect, and this car also has a pure battery life of 125km, which can meet the commuting needs in urban areas once a week.
From the point of power control, Roewe D7 DMH also has no obvious short board. The optical motor power is 150kw, which is equivalent to about 200 horsepower, and the motor torque reaches 330N·m, which easily breaks through 100 in 7 seconds.
In addition, it is worth mentioning the NVH performance of this car. On the one hand, the overall cabin quietness is very good, and the wind and noise on the road are well isolated. In addition, quietness is also a highlight of this hybrid system, and the engine can hardly be involved during driving, and the engine has no obvious hiss when accelerating sharply. The overall driving experience is similar to that of a tram, quiet and smooth.
D7 EV: The choice of large space for rear drive. Roewe D7 EV gave me the first impression. It is both a replacement of Model 3 and a luxurious version of Model 3.
First of all, the Roewe D7 EV, like the Model 3, is a pure electric car with a rear drive. Regardless of whether the driving control has been improved, it will be reasonable in terms of spatial layout.
The length of 4890mm has reached the level of B+, and the interior space is spacious and comfortable. Moreover, this car is equipped with an oversized front case, which is more than enough for a 20-inch suitcase. Obviously, Roewe D7 is ahead in terms of high integration, which is also the trend of tram development. Therefore, to some extent, the capacity of the front reserve box can still reflect the technological advanced degree of a car.
In addition, Brother Wheel also noticed that the sitting posture of the Roewe D7 EV is not much different from that of the oil truck, whether in the front row or the back row, and it will not occupy the platform to raise the sitting posture because of the battery. This is because D7 EV adopts ultra-thin flat battery module.
Roewe D7
What impressed me more about EV is its dynamic performance. Its motor peak power is 155KW, peak torque is 310N·m, and it only takes 6.5 seconds to accelerate at zero speed. But that’s not the point. The point is that I found that the limit of this power system is quite high. Even if the speed reaches 120km/h, you can still feel very energetic when you lightly step on the switch. Moreover, the speed is above 140km/h, the handling performance is still very stable, the steering wheel has no floating feeling at all, and the road feel feedback of the chassis is also very stable.
On the whole, when driving Roewe D7 EV, the driver will be willing to speed up overtaking, which can provide good driving confidence. This is the driving experience that a car should have. In addition, the NVH performance of Roewe D7 EV is equally excellent, and it is well isolated from external noise, tire noise and floor noise when driving in urban areas.
As for why Roewe D7 EV is still a luxury version of Model 3, because besides the satisfactory driving level, the comfortable experiences including D7 EV and D7 DMH are also quite rich.
For example, in the riding experience, Roewe D7 adopts advanced, comfortable and warm cockpit design, comfortable backrest angle, super-long backrest height and super-wide rear headrest, and the driving quality is very high-end car. In addition, a zero-gravity seat is provided, which supports one-button zero-gravity lying posture by means of car screen, voice and buttons. Moreover, because of the advantage of the captain, the front seat backrest of this car is completely flat, which can get a large flat floor experience with a depth of 1.7 meters.
In addition, D7 EV also supports external discharge function, with a maximum discharge power of 3.3kW. This function has become a necessary configuration for many people to choose trams, whether for camping or emergency use.
Generally speaking, whether it is Roewe D7 DMH or Roewe D7 EV, the driving experience brought by these two cars is far beyond their price level, which not only achieves the same price of gasoline and electricity, but also surpasses the fuel vehicles of the same level in terms of quality and functional configuration. If you want a large-space car that is comfortable and easy to drive, Roewe D7 will be a good choice.
