As for Ziyoujia NV, I think everyone will be very interested to know about this model: it is a purely electric SUV that meets needs of everyday use, and also has more wildness. On other hand, promotion of this medium and large 5-seat SUV is difficult. After its release at beginning of year, it will be delivered in December of this year, as planned. So how is performance of Ziyoujia NV? For this reason, we are first to experience Ziyoujia NV and take static real shots of it. It should be noted that real Ziyoujia NV is not a production version yet, and still absorbs user opinions and performs "OTA hardware" all time. The experience is limited to actual display of vehicles.

Appearance: originality and recognition are quite high

Today we can say that new energy vehicles are in full bloom. Standing out in design is not easy. Ziyoujia NV has a very original design, and its easily recognizable appearance allows you to recognize it at a glance. The front panel details vary according to different forms of power. The pure electric version we shot is a fully closed grille design. Unlike general closed design, Ziyoujia NV uses a large area of ​​LED lamps, replacing traditional Chinese Open.

After this treatment, front side not only acquires a more three-dimensional and flexible appearance, but also receives a higher degree of recognition, which can be described as a design that kills two birds with one stone. If it is an extended range model, black trim below lamp group will become air intake.

In addition to pass-through LED daytime running lights in midsection, highlight of entire front are two large bull's-eyes. The face is more lively, matching tone of exploration vehicle.

This research feature is also evident in design of front bumper. Once main matte black color is combined with secondary color silver, color contrast of front is increased. While keeping it wild, it doesn't lose too much fashion sense.

The side part has rigid lines and standard proportions of a medium to large SUV body. The two-tone bodywork and silver side trim create a great visual impact. C-pillar decorative panels also provide personalized options. In future, users will be able to choose different decorative panels according to their preferences to meet individual needs of different car owners.

The rim uses a powerful six-spoke sports rim. In addition, you can also choose a rim design with low rolling resistance and a stronger closing feeling. Personally, I prefer to choose a sporty style rim that matches overall style of car and is more suitable.

The tail has a simple design that looks very flat, and design of taillights echoes front. The three-dimensional LED strip gives a very good effect after lighting, and also enhances recognition of model. .

Interior: A minimalist design concept brings warm style to interior

The interior of Ziyoujia NV has a homely atmosphere, with a minimalist design concept throughout. The improvement is more obvious. At same time, air outlet is also ingeniously equipped with a temperature display, which can receive information more intuitively. The double-spoke steering wheel has a retro look and some functions can be controlled via chrome pulleys, echoing overall styling of interior.

In addition, there is one more noteworthy detail. In response to opinions of users about interior, manufacturer has adjusted some interior materials. A big increase.

In addition to pure black interior of actual model, pure white interior color is also displayed in same scene, which is a more outstanding visual effect. Another highlight of configuration are seats. The front row is equipped with footrests, which greatly improves experience for front passengers.

In terms of multimedia, Ziyoujia NV has a fully LCD instrument panel. The dashboard of model we actually photographed has been replaced with a new display style that is a huge improvement over previous design.

Most of vehicle's functions are controlled via large 15.6-inch central control screen. The system uses unique Smart Stacks product plug-in, which can simultaneously control NIUTRON's own OS and mobile phone mapping without leaving mobile phone display can work.

In fact, it also provides a good experience. Except for turning off mobile phone matching due to hardware problems, whole system is very stable, and switching between interfaces is relatively smooth. At same time, there are many multimedia applications, and richness is to be commended. Due to limited time, it was not possible to get acquainted with system in detail. Considering that this is not yet a production version, manufacturer stated that it will continue to optimize it.

Power: GEMINI double power module, whole series is equipped with a two-motor all-wheel drive system

Ziyoujia NV is equipped with GEMINI dual power modules, with pure electric and plug-in hybrid, two different power options, both equipped with iAWD dual-motor all-wheel drive system, 0-100km/h official acceleration. With a time of 5.9s, it has a decent performance potential. The all-electric model is powered by an extended range 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a WLTC range of 939 km, a CLTC range of 1,257 km and a pure electric range of 150 km. The pure electric model has two models with different battery life. Among them, long battery life model has a CLTC mileage of 560 km, and standard battery life version has a CLTC mileage of 440 km. Data performance has reached mainstream same level.

In terms of paper data, Ziyoujia NV's performance is still worth waiting for. Two different forms of electric drive systems can better meet needs of different consumers, and their flotation performance is also relatively outstanding. In addition, another direction is Ziyoujia NV driving mode options. In addition to normal mode switching, it also has special modes such as catapult and off-road, and changes are quite rich.

Overview

With this static experience, Ziyoujia NV has made progress visible to naked eye. Although series production has not yet been completed, show car is in a good state of completion and may still hold some surprises. it is clear that manufacturer listens to opinions of users. Great success has been achieved in this area. In terms of hardware, two different charging methods basically meet needs of current mainstream users, especially for extended range models, and performance in terms of range is worth looking forward to. In terms of price, Ziyoujia NV has a relatively clear positioning for itself, which is just between traditional cars and new energy vehicles of same level. Combined with its main focus on outdoor research, it is believed that it will attract some users, who like to go out. Of course, biggest concern at moment is naturally dynamic performance of Ziyoujia NV. We also look forward to a comprehensive test drive in future to see how this "big bull" rides.
