Fits these scenarios
Long-distance travel
StrongIn high-speed long-distance scenarios, steering is precise, and the vehicle body stability is good; however, the vehicle length is close to 5.2 meters, and the turning radius is large should be noted.
Family use
StrongIn families with children scenarios, the second row of independent seats is spacious and comfortable; however, the third row space is tight and not suitable for adults on long journeys.
Full-load travel
StrongIn full-load scenarios with multiple passengers, overtaking on the highway is easy, and power reserves are sufficient; however, power response slows down under low battery conditions should be noted.
New drivers
GoodIn novice driving scenarios, steering is precise, and the vehicle body stability is good; however, the vehicle length is close to 5.2 meters, and the turning radius is large should be noted.
No home charging
StrongIn the scenario without home charging, CLTC has a combined range of 1420 km and low fuel consumption; it should be noted that the actual pure electric range is greatly affected by low temperatures.
Winter use
StrongIn the winter low-temperature scenario, CLTC has a combined range of 1420 km and low fuel consumption; it should be noted that the actual pure electric range is greatly affected by low temperatures.
Driving enjoyment
StrongIn preference driving scenarios, with a combined power of 292 kW, acceleration is rapid; occasional jerks when switching between motor and engine should be noted.
Low running cost
StrongIn low-cost vehicle usage scenarios, the CLTC has a combined range of 1420 km, and low fuel consumption; however, actual pure electric range is greatly affected by low temperatures should be noted.
Weekend trips
StrongIn the weekend travel scenario, the seat padding is moderately soft and firm; it should be noted that the breathability of the faux leather material is average.
