Comments on Kia EV5, Song PLUS EV and Extreme Fox Alfa T5.

In the vast sea of new energy vehicles, pure electric SUV is leading the trend of future travel with its excellent practicality, comfort and intelligent technology, and is increasingly favored by young consumers. Today, we are fortunate to have invited three high-profile pure electric SUV models-BYD EV, Extreme Fox Alpha T5 and. They are not only the concentrated display of their respective brands’ technical strength, but also a brave exploration and practice of the dream of green travel. At the same time, these three pure electric SUV models are also different in technical concept, brand camp and design ideas, so who is the better choice that is more popular with consumers?

To be fair, we chose BYD Song PLUS Champion Edition EV 605KM Flagship PLUS, Extreme Fox Alfa T5 660 MAX and Kia EV5 720 Land for comparison.

Long battery life, great power! Who is more brilliant in the three power systems?

Different from the engine, gearbox and chassis of fuel vehicles, for pure electric vehicles, the battery, motor and electronic control system are the core components that most affect the performance and quality of the whole vehicle. Next, let’s go straight to the subject and see how these three players perform in this respect.

Byd song PLUS EVIt has a total motor power of 160kW and a maximum motor torque of 330N·m, but the maximum speed is only 175km/h, but it is enough for urban traffic lights, high-speed overtaking and other scenes. In addition, BYD’s housekeeping blade battery technology has better durability, safety and lower maintenance cost. At the same time, the 605km CTLC endurance performance is not a problem for daily use, and its practicality is better guaranteed.

Polar Fox Alpha T5The total power and maximum torque of the motor reached 200kW and 360N·m, respectively, but the maximum speed was only 180km/h, and the actual dynamic performance was not significantly different from that of Song PLUS. However, due to the adoption, the charging speed of the polar fox Alpha T5 is relatively faster, the fast charging time is only 0.28 hours, and the battery life has reached 660km, making it easier to cope with long-distance driving. However, the stability and safety are slightly worse, and more attention should be paid to daily car use and maintenance.

Participating in the comparisonKia EV5With the maximum motor torque of 160kW and the maximum motor torque of 310N·m, the power parameters are not brilliant among the three models, but thanks to the more advanced E-GMP platform and the super-large battery of 88.1kwh, the EV5 has a maximum speed of 185km/h and a long battery life of 720km. The actual dynamic performance is the best for three cars, and the advanced, stable and high efficiency of the three-electric system are relatively better.

Unlocking richer usage scenarios whose space practicality is better?

After talking about the feeling of driving, how do these three pure electric SUVs that are biased towards household needs feel when sitting up? Let’s continue to look down.

Thanks to the body size of 4785×1890×1660mm and the wheelbase performance of 2765mm,Song PLUS EVIt can provide users with ample interior space performance, especially leg space performance. At the same time, the rear row of Song PLUS EV adopts flat floor design to further alleviate the fatigue of long-distance travel. When the trunk is opened, the trunk space of Song PLUS EV is relatively regular, and the trunk cover supports two-stage adjustment, which fully meets the car demand in different scenarios.

Although the body length of 4690mm is not as long as that of Song PLUS EV,Polar Fox Alpha T5However, it has a body width of 1936mm and a wheelbase performance of 2845mm, and the passenger’s lateral seating space and leg space are relatively more relaxed. However, the shorter body length and the longer wheelbase have sacrificed the storage space in the trunk. Under normal conditions, the storage space in the trunk is only 400L, which is generally practical.

At first glance,EV5The advantage in size is not obvious, but the body height of 1715mm brings more head space than the other three players. In addition, KIA EV5 has a trunk volume of 513L and a front trunk volume of 67L, and the rear seats support 6: 4 flat folding, which can immediately expand a flat 1718L super-large space. At the same time, the configuration of the 5.4L central drawer, the drawer below the center console+hidden hook, and the multi-scene expansion table in the trunk also fully demonstrated EV5′ s powerful storage capacity, and its practicability was better than that of the other two players.

Intelligent configuration has its own advantages. Who can stand out from the top three?

Nowadays, with the large-scale promotion of electrification and intelligence of automobiles, consumers’ cognition and usage habits of automobiles have also changed significantly, not only with strong power and comfortable driving, but also with higher requirements for intelligent experience. The concept of automobile is gradually changing from a means of transportation to a multi-functional intelligent mobile terminal.

In terms of intelligence, participating in the comparisonSong PLUS EV Equipped with DiLink intelligent interconnection system, such functions as conventional speech recognition, OTA upgrade, Wifi hotspot, car networking, remote control and so on are all equipped. In terms of intelligent driving safety, Song PLUS is equipped with L2 intelligent driving assistance system, which covers conventional intelligent driving functions such as parallel line assistance, lane keeping assistance, full-speed adaptive cruise, lane keeping and so on, and can basically cover various road conditions for commuting and long-distance travel in urban areas.

By contrast,Polar Fox Alpha T5The functions of α-OS intelligent interconnection system are relatively richer. In addition to the conventional functions, it also has high-level intelligent configurations such as continuous speech recognition, four-zone speech control, and visible-to-talk, which makes it more intelligent. In terms of intelligent driving configuration, although the L2-level intelligent driving assistance system of Extreme Fox Alpha T5 has added automatic lane change assistance and start reminding functions, it is more convenient to drive in urban areas, but automatic parking and remote parking are not standard. At the same time, the number of standard ultrasonic radars is only 8, which makes it slightly difficult for novices to drive.

The last contestant to appear isKia EV5In terms of intelligent configuration, Kia Connect intelligent interconnection system integrates rich functions such as remote control, emergency rescue, vehicle diagnosis, etc. The new generation ccNC intelligent interconnection entertainment system covers dozens of localized practical apps, which fully meets the car habits of domestic users.

In terms of intelligent driving assistance, in addition to the conventional intelligent driving assistance configuration, KIA EV5 is also equipped with more advanced intelligent driving safety configurations such as HDA highway assistance, NSCC navigation-based intelligent endurance control, and DAW driver attention warning. In addition, it is equipped with two intelligent driving assistance configurations specially developed for parking scenes, namely, remote intelligent parking assistance II and parking collision prevention assistance, which further reduces the driving difficulty.

Write at the end:

As a popular pure electric SUV model, the performance of the three players is remarkable. Song PLUS EV benefits from the use of blade batteries and has obvious advantages in the stability and reliability of the three-electric system. Extreme Fox Alpha T5 is more suitable for users’ needs in terms of experience and intelligence, and its intelligent configuration is more abundant. Kia EV5 has no obvious partiality in all aspects, and it has achieved a very balanced consideration in terms of intelligence, safety, space utilization and three electric systems.
