Test drive ｜ Dongfeng Yipai e π 008 A family SUV with a stable chassis and abundant power
In today’s automotive market, SUVs are increasingly favored by consumers due to their excellent passability and versatility, and household 6-seat SUVs have become the "sweet pastry" of the market. As a household 6-seat SUV, the Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 not only inherits the fine traditions of SUVs, but also shows its unique charm in terms of comfort, home enjoyment, intelligence, entertainment and space. Recently, the editor came to the Dongfeng Automobile Testing Ground in Xiangyang City to experience this model in depth, and felt its strength in the field test drive and urban road test drive.
Home comfort starts with vision
The appearance of Dongfeng Yipai Eπ 008 follows the typical closed front grille of new energy vehicles, with front and rear through headlights, and can also be equipped with intelligent star grille to achieve more intelligent interaction functions. The golden lines outlined by the whole car body make the whole car look more elegant.
In terms of interior, Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 uses high-quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship, 9.2-inch streaming media rearview mirror, 64-color ambient light + smart fragrance + seat ventilation/heating and other functions are not absent, providing a spacious and comfortable ride for family 6-seat SUV travel. Considering the needs of long-distance travel, it is also equipped with a dual-purpose mobile refrigerator, 5/50 ° C can keep fresh and warm, and can be electrically slid in 1-3 rows. It supports voice, touch, remote and other control methods, making travel more worry-free.
The perfect combination of chassis handling and extended range quietness
In the field test drive Kincana, the performance of the eπ 008 really amazed the editor. A 6-seat large SUV still maintained a speed of 70km/h when testing corners. It was originally expected to be a little bulky, but in fact it still turned smoothly in the face of Kincana’s test. It can easily handle various complex road conditions and driving movements, whether it is sharp turns or emergency braking, it can maintain a stable attitude and excellent handling performance.
The model we tested is an extended range version, with a feed fuel consumption of 5.55L/100km and a comprehensive battery life of up to 1300km. This is mainly because it is equipped with a Mach 1.5T hybrid dedicated engine with a thermal efficiency of 45.18%. In addition, it is equipped with 21-inch Continental’s latest generation of EC7 ultra-quiet tires and double-layer laminated soundproof glass, allowing the engine intervention noise in the car to increase by less than 1dB, achieving true non-inductive intervention.
Comfort and the power to fit the city
In the urban road test drive, the Eπ 008 also showed excellent driving performance. The suspension system of the vehicle has been carefully adjusted to filter out most of the road bumps and provide passengers with a comfortable ride experience. At the same time, the vehicle’s power system also shows the characteristics of being suitable for city driving, accelerating smoothly and responding quickly, whether it is daily commuting or weekend trips, it can be easily handled.
Create a comprehensive entertainment experience
The eπ 008 is equipped with 6 entertainment screens and realizes multi-screen interaction. The front and rear rows support one-click fly screen, and the central control screen and the entertainment screen share audio and video entertainment, making it easy to interact with the fly screen. The rear control screen supports one-click to open the entertainment screen, seat ventilation and heating, and rear rest mode. Passengers can control music playback, navigation settings, etc. through voice commands to enjoy a more convenient and intelligent driving experience. At the same time, the vehicle also supports mobile phone interconnection function, enjoying the convenience brought by the Internet anytime, anywhere.
Meeting the diverse needs of family travel
As a family 6-seat SUV, the eπ 008 also performs well in terms of spatial layout. As the first "536" model of Dongfeng Yipai (that is, 5002mm length + 3025mm wheelbase) and a 6-seat family SUV, the real three rows have a large six-seat layout, and the best rate of 67.4% in the same class. We have measured that under the normal ride of the second row, the third row can easily seat 2 passengers with a height of 1.7m.
Car review
Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 is an extraordinary strength as a 6-seat SUV for home use. It not only performs well in comfort, home enjoyment, intelligence, entertainment and space, but also shows excellent driving performance and comfort in venue test drives and city road test drives. It is understood that this car is expected to be launched in mid-June, and the price is expected to start at 150,000 yuan.
