Under the tide of new energy, I believe that many friends have replaced their cars with pure electric models. Indeed, unlimited travel, low car costs, and comfortable driving experience make people immersed in it, but the inability to cope with long-distance and inconvenient refueling cause mileage anxiety, which are also practical problems, which are torn. In fact, for friends who want to enjoy various related conveniences of pure electric models and are afraid of mileage anxiety, various manufacturers are currently promoting new plug-in hybrid/range-extended electric models, which is a more balanced choice at present. This time, we are in the budget range of the most mainstream new energy model purchase, and we bring you three models that can refuse mileage anxiety. BYD Frigate 07, Geely Xingyue L Range Extended Electric Edition, and AITO Ask the World M5 to find out.
From the debut to the listing, the BYD Frigate 07 can be said to have been preheated for a long time. As a new medium-sized SUV of BYD Ocean Network, the popularity of the Frigate 07 goes without saying. The new design style, the full series of large 5-seat layouts, and the DM-i/DM-P plug-in hybrid system are added. This is not a wrong choice. The Xingyue L Extended Range Electric Edition has three driving modes: Extended Range, Pure Electric, and Hybrid. It is a veritable all-round player. In the Extended Range Mode, the WLTC service life of the Xingyue L Extended Range Electric Edition can reach 1250km, and there will be no mileage anxiety at all. AITO Qinjie M5 has become a dark horse player among new forces with its Hongmeng cockpit. As a new energy model with a mature range-extending power system, excellent driving experience, and a leading intelligent cockpit experience, the Q-5 is worth looking forward to.
Appearance: Different styles to meet different aesthetics
At the design level, the three cars show a completely different design tone. The frigate 07 adopts the new style of BYD Ocean Network. The new ripple-type center net, sharp light set and BYD’s luminous LOGO show a new look different from the previous BYD, with an excellent sense of novelty; the Xingyue L Extended Range Electric Edition is a "good man at home" style, with straight lines and smooth contours, giving people a reliable and practical sense of vision, which belongs to the traditional aesthetic good-looking; the M5 is a typical sports style, with very smooth lines in the front body, and the overall visual center of gravity is low, and the posture is moving.
In the rear part of the car, the three cars use the current popular through-type light group at the same time. The design details of the frigate 07 light group are innovative, and the swirling structure of the waves on both sides can show the effect of welcoming light when the vehicle is unlocked. With the connecting guide tail above, it is full of personality and recognition; the overall rear of the Xingyue L range-extended electric version is still a stable image of Fangzheng, and under the integration of the slender light strip, it does not appear dull; the rear part of the M5 is still round and full, but the design is relatively ordinary, and there is no obvious recognition.
Although the three cars were positioned differently, it was not difficult to see that the size and body were not very different, and they were almost the same level. This showed that the Star L extended range electric version was a bit low in positioning and misplaced in competition. In fact, due to differences in design, the Q M5 had the smallest sense of visual volume among the three cars, but in terms of intuitively affecting the wheelbase of the driving space, it was the most advantageous one among the three cars.
In terms of tire specifications, the frigate 07 uses 20-inch wheels, while the Star L Extended Range Electric Edition and the M5 both use the mainstream 19-inch wheels of the same class, larger size wheels and the most advantageous body length and height. The visual effect of the frigate 07 is undoubtedly more atmospheric.
The three cars are all models priced 200,000 or more by Chinese brands. There is no need to worry about the basic configuration level. Everything is available, but there are differences in details. Specifically, on the keyless entry and multi-layer sound insulation glass with high daily practicality, the performance of the M5 is relatively strong. The other two cars are only equipped with the function of the front row. It is standard in the whole car and has obvious advantages. In addition, for a medium-sized SUV with a small size, the induction trunk is a configuration that can obviously improve the convenience. Among the three cars, only the frigate 07 is not equipped, and the daily experience is different.
Interior: Technological atmosphere
At the interior level, most of the functions and operations in the three cars are integrated into the central control large screen, creating a strong technological atmosphere. The frigate 07 and the interrogator M5 use a central control floating large screen design, while the Xingyue L is a cross-screen design. Among them, the Xingyue L is uniquely equipped with a co-pilot entertainment screen, which allows the co-pilot passengers to spend time better during long-distance journeys.
In addition, the lining materials of the three cars are very high-grade, and a large area of soft leather wrapping is a common feature. However, for the trend of air conditioning, electronic shift lever and speaker shape, Xingyue L Extended Range Electric Edition and Qjie M5 are too flat, while Frigate 07 is obviously more design sense.
In terms of interior configuration, the performance of the three cars is satisfactory, reflecting the configuration level of a Chinese brand SUV priced at more than 200,000. Specifically, in terms of comfort configuration that everyone cares about, the M5 is better than the M5. The rear seat heating, 15-speaker audio, and 128-color ambient lights are all unique configurations. It is also the only model among the three cars to provide seat massage options, maintaining a leading position in the three dimensions of touch, hearing and vision. Xingyue L Extended Range Electric Edition and Frigate 07 come and go, regardless of height.
At the level of intelligent configuration, all three cars have performed well. The frigate 07 still adopts the standard solution of BYD’s smart cockpit, with a rotating large screen and high-speed 5G network, which can provide an excellent human-machine interaction experience; the Xingyue L extended-range electric version has a solid "stacking material", Qualcomm 8155 chip + three-screen interconnection, and every passenger in the front row can enjoy a rich experience of scientific and technological functions; the main selling point of the M5 is the Hongmeng cockpit. Hongmeng’s strong ecosystem and convenient interaction pattern are very attractive. Overall, the Xingyue L extended-range electric version is still slightly better. After all, with an extra large screen, the satisfaction of the passenger riding experience in the car is also more complete.
Performance: Meet daily use and solve mileage anxiety
The three new energy models can be divided into two technical routes in terms of power system. The Frigate 07 and the Xingyue L extended-range electric version use a plug-in hybrid system, while the Qinjie M5 is an extended-range power. The power performance of the three vehicles is completely no problem for daily household use, and the combination of oil and electricity can achieve a relatively exaggerated value, which has obvious advantages over pure electric vehicles and fuel vehicles.
The M5 is the only model with a rear-mounted rear-drive layout among the three cars. Coupled with a more powerful motor, it will have an advantage in terms of driving pleasure among the three cars. The Star L Extended Range Electric Edition can achieve seamless switching of three driving modes: pure electric, extended range, and plug-in through the three-speed DHT gearbox. Its pure electric cruising range is also the longest among the three cars, and the fuel economy during the use of the car is better. The DM-i system of the Frigate 07 is more standard in all aspects.
Space: There are differences in experience
In terms of riding space, the wheelbase of the three cars is more than 2.8 meters, and it is a large five-seat layout. Specifically, the 1.78-meter-tall experiencer enters the rear row of the Xingyue L Extended Range Electric Edition and the Q World M5 respectively (the front row is his driving position), with two punches and one punch and three fingers respectively, and the head space is more than one punch; the 1.8-meter-tall experiencer enters the rear row of the frigate 07, and there is still more than two punches in the legs, and the head space is also more than one punch. Overall, the rear row of the three cars can leave a relatively ample space for passengers, with the frigate performing the best, while the longest wheelbase of the three cars, the Q World M5, lags behind in the rear legroom, which makes some differences.
In terms of trunk space, the interior of the three models is relatively regular, among which the wheel arch of the frigate 07 is more obvious, and the lateral space is limited. In terms of expansibility, the rear seats of the three cars all support 4/6 ratio reclining, and after reclining, they can form a flat state with the trunk floor, and the load capacity is satisfactory. In addition, the three cars are equipped with electric tailgates, of which only the frigate 07 does not support induction opening, and the convenience in daily use is not as good as that of the Xingyue L Extended Range Electric Edition and the Q-Realm M5.
Security: All are equipped with rich active security configurations
As the commonality of "electric shock" models, all three cars have a wealth of active safety configurations, including rare door opening warning and forward collision warning, which can maximize safety protection regardless of driving or parking. Specifically, there are only a small number of configuration differences in the three cars, among which the most abundant is the Xingyue L Extended Range Electric Edition, which is only not equipped with fatigue driving function, and other aspects are almost at the level of filling the configuration table; while the performance of the Frigate 07 and the M5 is similar, slightly inferior to the Xingyue L when the price is similar.
Summarize:It can be found that although the core satisfaction of the three new energy SUVs recommended this time is to solve mileage anxiety, their respective characteristics are still very clear, and they will not be a moderate experience at all. The AITO M5 is a very obvious sports orientation, including power layout, performance and design style, which is very suitable for users who have certain requirements for control; if you have extreme requirements for fuel consumption and battery life, then the Geely Xingyue L range-extended electric version that seamlessly switches three power modes meets your needs; the DM-i system is very mature and has excellent user word-of-mouth feedback. The BYD Frigate 07 is the choice to ensure that there will be no mistakes. Combined with your own car needs and brand preferences, I believe you can find your favorite car.
