Before that, Uncle Che had not understood the profound meaning of "Chinese rich", until yesterday after seeing the news that Porsche sold nearly 100,000 vehicles in China, Uncle Che did not know how rich the Chinese people are today.
Indeed, compared with the "three melons and two dates" at the beginning of the century, today's luxury car market can be described as a rising tide. Not only are joint venture brands playing high-end, but also independent brands that were once looked down upon are also mixed up in the high-end market, such as Lynk & Co, Gaohe, Weipai and so on.
Similarly, the Polar Fox Alpha S is also another masterpiece of the new domestic forces in the high-end market. It has already been listed in April 2021, with a price range of 251,900 to 429,900, positioning itself as a medium and large sedan, and is the "first tire" jointly built by Jihu and Huawei. Its brilliant performance has also put pressure on tesla model 3 models in the same price range. So, when the new domestic forces encounter the new energy hegemon, what kind of sparks will burst out? Who is better value for money? Today, let Uncle Che take everyone to find out.
Appearance comparison
The Alpha S continues the design philosophy of the Polar Fox family's "boundless aesthetics", through the combination of closed grilles, sharp headlight sets and black trapezoidal surrounds, making the new car full of lethality at first glance.
In terms of side, Alpha S has strong new energy characteristics, using a two-color body + slipback roof + through the double waist line body + hidden door handles, looking sporty and fashionable. In addition, we can also find that the minimum ground clearance of the new car is 140mm, which is still an advantage in traditional cars, which can help the Alpha S more adapt to a variety of urban life scenarios.
In terms of size, the Alpha S has a length, width and height of 4930/1940/1599 mm and a wheelbase of 2915 mm, which is the mainstream level of medium and large cars, and can effectively combine driving space and storage space.
In terms of tail, the Alpha S adopts a short rear design, equipped with blackened through taillights and trapezoidal underside that echo the front face, which has a strong recognition.
The Tesla Model 3 is similar to the Exterior Design of the Alpha S, with an enclosed grille, obliquely long LED headlights and a penetrating blackening underwing.
In fact, from the similar design of the two models, it is not difficult to see that the homogenization problem has begun to emerge on the pure electric model. If the next car companies do not innovate as soon as possible, there will inevitably be serious aesthetic fatigue.
In terms of side, Tesla Model 3 is also a slippery roof + double waist line body + hidden door handle. But the more conservative rear will greatly reduce the visibility of the Tesla Model 3.
In terms of size, tesla Model 3 length, width and height are 4694/1850/1443 mm, wheelbase is 2850mm, belongs to the standard level of medium-sized cars, and does not have much advantage in the field of medium-sized cars.
In terms of tail, Tesla Model 3 is still relatively traditional, two-color matrix taillights, hidden exhaust, the effect is decent.
First of all, it must be affirmed that Tesla Model 3 and Alpha S are standard products of new energy, and they are indeed more "beautiful" than traditional fuel vehicles. But from the perspective of the car uncle, the appearance of the Alpha S is more stylish, and the overall sense of harmony is higher than that of the Tesla Model 3.
Power comparison
The Alpha S will be available in two power configurations. Among them, the single-motor version of the maximum power is 160 kilowatts, the peak torque is 360 N·m, and the acceleration of 0-100 km/h is 7.7 seconds and 8.3 seconds according to different models. The twin-motor version has a total power of 320 kW, a total torque of 720 N·m, and an acceleration of 4.2 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. The cruising range is available in three versions: 525 km, 603 km and 708 km. In addition, Alpha also recently launched the Alpha S Huawei HI version, whether it is power or endurance performance, there have been a significant improvement.
In contrast, the Tesla Model 3 will also be available in two power configurations. Among them, the rear-wheel drive version is equipped with a rear-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor, the maximum power of the motor is 220 kilowatts, the peak torque is 440N·m, and the acceleration of 0-100 km/h is 6.1 seconds. The all-wheel drive model is equipped with dual motors with a combined maximum power of 357 kW, a peak torque of 659 N·m, an acceleration of 3.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, and a cruising range of 556 km and 675 km, respectively.
Uncle Che summed up
Whether it is Tesla Model 3 or Alpha S, it is an excellent product of the new energy market. Although the product strength and sales performance of Alpha S are not as strong as Tesla Model 3, from the perspective of comprehensive strength alone, Alpha S is definitely a product above the red line of new energy. In addition, the two models are also mainstream in terms of endurance performance, especially the 708 km cruising range of Alpha S, which can properly solve the user's endurance pressure.
How to choose these two models? If you focus on comfort, in order to use it at home later, Uncle Che recommends that you buy the Alpha S, which has generous space, stable output and ample battery life, which is very in line with the needs of the grandfathers.
If you focus on performance and driving texture, then the Tesla Model 3 is a good choice, especially the all-wheel drive model, which can well meet the driving texture of young users.
