Recently, the domestic new energy vehicle market new car listing is like mushrooms after a rain, a lot of them, and due to the previous price war, now many new models on the market, in terms of price has also done enough work, as far as possible to give a competitive price, so as not to continue to reduce the price later. And as you know, the number of new cars on the current extended range "track" has also increased to the point of "traffic jam", so many latecomers have given enough sincerity in the price section, such as this Dongfeng eπ008.
Dongfeng eπ008 has just been launched in June, is a 5002mm long medium and large SUV, launched an extended range model and a pure electric model, the manufacturer's guide price is 216,600 yuan, but in the first month of listing, the manufacturer gave a limited time equity price, the price of the extended range model is 188,600 yuan, and the pure electric model is 193,600 yuan. Because many small partners who buy medium and large new energy SUV models will choose models that can be oiled or electric, so today we focus on the extended range version of Dongfeng eπ08.
As a new energy model, the exterior design of Dongfeng eπ08 still looks relatively atmospheric and calm, of course, this is also because of the size. This car uses a dot matrix light source composed of through-type LED daytime running lights, the side of the vehicle looks full and round, and the D-pillar also adopts the design of a blackened partition, and the tail uses the same design ideas as the headlight group, the overall visual perception is still very good, the calmness of the car and the agility of the new energy model, are reflected.
Dongfeng eπ008's interior design, can be said to be relatively concise, and many new energy models of the design ideas are not much different, the use of suspended LCD instrument and suspended central control screen, and the introduction of electronic pocket gear, and around the door and center console, there is a metal decorative strip that runs through the left and right. Moreover, a large area of soft materials is used in the car, and it is also equipped with a rear entertainment screen (optional), and the comfort and luxury performance in the car can be said to be on par with the ideal L series.
In terms of power, the extended-range version of the model is equipped with a 1.5T range extender and a 272kW rear-drive motor, and is equipped with a 34.32-degree power battery, with a CLTC pure electric range of 210 kilometers, a comprehensive range of 1,300 kilometers, an acceleration time of 5.2 seconds per 100 kilometers, and a fuel consumption of 4.7L in the deficit section. On the whole, this car is similar to the parameter performance of the relevant models of the ideal L series in terms of power, and it is a range-extended electric vehicle with good performance.
In terms of chassis suspension, the Dongfeng eπ008 extended range version is equipped with a front MacPherson rear multi-link independent suspension, equipped with 265/45 R21 tires, and the vehicle weighs 2189kg. We have not yet gotten a test drive of this car, so there is still a lack of subjective judgment on the performance of this large-weight, large-size rear-drive extended-range electric vehicle product in terms of handling and comfort.
Configuring this piece, the performance of Dongfeng eπ008 is also quite strong. At the level of intelligent driving, which has attracted the most attention from new energy vehicles, this car is equipped with L2 level driving assistance configuration, with LCC function, automatic parking position, remote control parking and other functions, and will support NOA driving assistance on high-speed sections in the later stage.
In terms of other configurations, Dongfeng eπ008 is equipped with hill assist, steep hill descent, electric trunk, Bluetooth key/NFC key, automatic headlights, segmented sunroof, gesture control, facial recognition, voice control, 4G networking, mobile phone APP remote control, car KTV, leather steering wheel, 50W mobile phone wireless charging, imitation leather seats, ventilation / heating of the first and second rows of seats, 20-speaker audio, WANOS panoramic sound and other configurations and functions.
All in all, the price of more than 180,000 yuan, the size of the 5-meter level, and the power and endurance performance similar to the ideal L series make this car look very cost-effective, and it is not an exaggeration to call it "half-price ideal", which is also the result of market involution. But we also have to say that although a lot of power on the books, Dongfeng eπ008 and ideal L8 such as 6-seater SUV models are similar, but in terms of details, there may still be a gap, such as intelligent driving, ideal is already the head brand, but obviously, Dongfeng is not.
