Fits these scenarios
Long-distance travel
StrongIn long-distance highway scenarios, the chassis is sturdy, and high-speed stability is good; however, the vehicle is long, making it inconvenient to turn around on narrow roads.
Family use
MixedIn families with children scenarios, head and legroom are sufficient, suitable for business receptions; however, the third row needs to be adjusted when entering or exiting the second row.
Full-load travel
GoodIn full-load scenarios with multiple passengers, power is still sufficient when fully loaded; however, power consumption is higher under high loads.
New drivers
StrongIn novice driving scenarios, the chassis is sturdy, and high-speed stability is good; however, the vehicle is long, making it inconvenient to turn around on narrow roads.
No home charging
GoodIn scenarios without home charging, fuel consumption is low when the battery is low, and the economy is good; however, the actual pure electric range is greatly affected by temperature.
Winter use
MixedIn the winter low temperature scenario, the fuel consumption is low when the battery is at low charge, indicating good economy; however, it should be noted that the actual pure electric range is greatly affected by temperature.
Driving enjoyment
StrongIn preference driving scenarios, power response is timely, and overtaking is confident; however, engine noise is slightly noticeable during rapid acceleration.
Low running cost
GoodIn low-cost vehicle usage scenarios, fuel consumption is low when the battery is low, and the economy is good; however, the actual pure electric range is greatly affected by temperature.
Weekend trips
StrongIn the weekend travel scenario, the fuel consumption is low when the battery is at low charge, indicating good economy; however, it should be noted that the actual pure electric range is greatly affected by temperature.
