Bitauto Original As the first model under WM Motor The all-new WM E.5, a pure electric sedan positioned as a medium-sized pure electric family sedan, was launched on April 15. The new car has two models to choose from, with a limited-time discount price of 150,100 to 160,100 yuan.

The models launched this time will be targeted at the private car market. For this reason, WM Motor officially launched user customization services, providing more than 500 types of vehicles. Color selection.

So how does the new Weimar E.5 drive? What kind of performance does the chassis and NVH have? Below I will answer your questions based on my test drive experience.

A quick overview of the new Weimar E.5

1. The car is 4718mm long and has a simple design

2. Maximum power 120kW, peak torque 240N·m, NEDC range 505km

3. Standard panoramic canopy, dual 12.3 Inch large screen and intelligent voice cockpit and other configurations

4. Excellent space performance

Power On the other hand, the new WM E.5 is equipped with a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 120kW and a peak torque of 240N·m. The official acceleration time from 0-50km/h is 4 seconds, and the acceleration time from 0-100km/h is 8.9 seconds.

Although the power data is not eye-catching, the new Wei The power performance of the Ma E.5 is relatively brisk when driven, and it also provides three driving modes: ECO, NORMAL, and SPORT. Its power response is adjusted more quickly. Even in ECO mode, you can feel the power output quickly by lightly pressing the switch. You don't have to worry about power problems when driving in urban areas.

In SPORT mode, you can quickly feel a The feeling of pushing up the back gives people a feeling of abundant power. At the same time, the acceleration performance of the rear section is also good. It is relatively easy to accelerate to 120km/h on the highway, and the power is not a problem for daily use.

However, it is a little regrettable that the drive motor of the new Weimar E.5 will produce a certain amount of noise during operation, which will affect the driving comfort. It would be nice if this could be improved in the future. .

In terms of chassis, the suspension adjustment of the new WM E.5 is more comfort-oriented, filtering road vibrations quite well, and the daily ride is quite comfortable.

However, the soft suspension will still produce unnecessary bounce when passing some big bumps, and the lateral support is also relatively average. When cornering slightly quickly, you will feel the body roll is more obvious, and the overall feel of the chassis is still good. There is room for improvement

In terms of NVH, the new WM E.5's isolation performance against road noise is acceptable, but the noise from the drive motor always accompanies the driving process. At the same time, wind noise also becomes obvious after the speed exceeds 100km/h.

In general, its NVH performance is quite satisfactory, and there is still room for improvement compared to its competitors at the same level.

In terms of battery, the new Weimar E.5 is equipped with an IP68 standard ternary lithium power battery. The battery power is 58.6kWh, the system energy density reaches 160wh/kg, and the NEDC cruising range is 505km.

Its support DC fast charging and AC slow charging, the 30-80% fast charging time is 39 minutes. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with a high-temperature liquid cooling system, a battery pack electric heating system and an energy recovery function, which ensures the battery life.

The new WM E.5The design follows the simple style of the models on sale and looks a bit conservative. The headlight group and logo are connected by a through-type black trim strip. This design can stretch the visual width of the front face.

However, it is a pity that it is equipped with halogen headlights, which looks a little behind when LED headlights are common today.

The car logo continues to be able to illuminate interactivelyFeatures, very recognizable at night. At the same time, you can also judge the vehicle's power reserve through different color changes.

The new carThe length, width and height are 4718x1838x1535mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2810mm. The test drive vehicle is equipped with 18-inch "whirlwind" aluminum alloy wheels, which have a more dynamic shape. They are matched with 225/50 R18 Chaoyang tires, which focus on quietness and comfort performance, and the road holding performance is quite satisfactory.

The rear of the vehicle is visually relatively solid, with a black trim strip running through the left and right light groups. The internal design of the lamp set is quite innovative, and it will have good recognition after lighting up.

Coming to the car, the new Weimar E. 5 The central control layout also adopts a simple style, and the interior of the car is covered with more hard plastics, which lowers the sense of class to a certain extent.

All new car series are equipped with a 12.3-inch central control screen as standard. The screen has excellent resolution and response speed. All good. It is also equipped with a Living Mate intelligent cockpit system, which can realize functions such as intelligent voice control, vehicle control, intelligent driving assistance and entertainment applications. Among them, the intelligent voice interaction function was developed in-house on the new iFlytek 3.5 system.

But Judging from the actual experience, its entertainment functions are relatively conventional, and the richness of functions needs to be improved.

Fortunately, the new car can remotely check the vehicle status through the mobile phone APP and perform remote vehicle control. It can also realize Bluetooth connection vehicle control and Bluetooth key authorization functions, improving the convenience of using the car.

The new WM E.5 retains the physical buttons of the air conditioning system under the center console. Blind operation is more convenient, and it also has a PM2.5 filtering device. However, from a design perspective, this air conditioning panel is actuallyA bit old-fashioned.

In addition, the whole car only has one USB port in the front row, and it is not equipped with wireless charging for mobile phones. For the home market, I think it is very necessary to have one or two charging ports in the back row. of.

In terms of safety configuration, the new WM E.5 is equipped with Living Pilot3.5 Base intelligent assisted driving system , its ACC adaptive cruise supports distance keeping function and automatic follow-stop/follow-start function, and also includes AEB automatic emergency braking, FCW forward collision warning system, etc.

The new Weimar E.5 top model adopts The seats are made of fabric and leather, and the seats are thickly padded. It is also equipped with comfortable configurations such as electric 6-way adjustment of the main driver's seat, heated front seats, and rear air vents, and the ride comfort is acceptable.

The most eye-catching thing in the cockpit is the all-series standard. The equipped 1.91㎡ panoramic canopy can make the interior environment in the car more transparent and open. The disadvantage is that it does not support opening and is not equipped with a sunshade. In summer, heat will be transmitted to the car and affect rear passengers.

Thanks to the 2810mm wheelbase and four-wheel and four-corner design, the new WM E The interior space of the .5 car has outstanding performance, and a strong man with a height of 185cm can find a comfortable sitting position.

Luggage of the new Weimar E.5 under normal conditions The cabin volume is 425L, and the interior space is very regular. Unfortunately, the rear seats do not support folding down, and the expansion capacity needs to be improved.

Written at the end: From the perspective of product strength, compared with AION S Plus and Qin PLUS For EV and other models, the advantage of the new WM E.5 is that it has more outstanding space, and its 505km endurance has also reached the mainstream level in its class.

The power performance is acceptable, but the motor needs to be improved in terms of noise control. In terms of interior workmanship and user-friendly design, the performance of the new car still has room for improvement.

In general, the new Weimar E.5 has its own characteristics in terms of products , the power is sufficient, the space also has certain advantages, and the panoramic canopy looks relatively high-end. But if it wants to get a share of the 150,000-class household pure electric market, the Weimar E.5 must work more on some details and humanized design to bring consumers a more practical family car.
