Power comparable to Ferrari? Experience of extended-range electric vehicle Cyrus SF5

With the continuous advancement of policies, new energy vehicles have long stood out from the once niche and become an unavoidable option for consumers to choose cars. Especially in the first-tier cities with limited brand pressure, new energy vehicles have become the first choice for people who are interested in buying cars. However, today's pure electric vehicles are still in the transition period, and many worrying problems such as mileage anxiety and safety still exist. As a result, new car companies from all walks of life have also shown their talents in their respective fields. The low-key and young brand Selis has also produced its first extended-range electric vehicle product-SF5.

An electric car that can bid farewell to mileage anxiety can only be an extended program.

Extended-range electric vehicles are considered to be the perfect transition scheme for new energy vehicles at this stage. Although the extended-range electric vehicle will be equipped with a traditional fuel engine, the engine will not participate in the driving of the vehicle, and will only be used as a range extender to charge the battery when the vehicle's power is low. Compared with the hybrid vehicle, this structure reduces the link of oil/electricity switching, and the power output is smoother, but it will not bring mileage anxiety because of excessive power consumption like the pure electric vehicle.

When the power is low, you just need to go to the gas station to refuel like a traditional car, and you can continue driving. Li One, which also adopts the extended scheme, has also been recognized by the market after listing, which shows that this "oil-based" driving form has the potential to be widely accepted by the market. What about this? Tianjie SF5 adopts this driving form with both practicality and performance.

There are both external and internal, and practicality is Cyrus' strength.

In terms of appearance, Cyrus SF5 does not use too many "new energy" elements, but the overall style is more like a traditional self-owned brand model. The most striking thing is the design of headlights on the front face and daytime running lights. Daytime running lights and headlights with integrated turn signals are arranged on both sides of the car body, which creates a certain sense of science and technology for the front face, while the shape of the side of the car body is quite streamlined, and the forward-leaning car body lines are adopted, so that the whole car body shape has a feeling of diving forward. The tail is a collection of popular elements at present, and the design of penetrating taillights has become the finishing touch of the whole tail modeling.

Sitting in the car of SF5, I can intuitively feel that Cyrus wants to create more sense of luxury and technology on SF5. On the center console, Cyrus SF5 only has a huge screen, and the shift handle is set in the front of the central armrest box. Cyrus integrates all the functions in the car on the central control screen. Although screen control is not so intuitive compared with traditional physical buttons, fortunately, the multi-function steering wheel can also share some functions in the car.

In addition, the flat-bottomed steering wheel, vertical accelerator pedal and other elements add a little sense of movement to the Scorpio SF5. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the traditional USB interface and 12V vehicle power supply, the rear of Tianjie SF5 is also equipped with a 220V socket, which usually only appears on hard-core off-road vehicles, providing convenience for camping and other special needs. However, the 220V power supply of Tianjie SF5 also supports charging other electric vehicles, and it can also make Tianjie SF5 play the role of "rescuer" when other electric vehicles are out of power. ?

With strong power and stable chassis, 700 horses are not difficult to control.

As an extended-range electric vehicle, Tianjie SF5 adopts two motors to form an intelligent four-wheel drive system. Officials say that this power system can output up to 700 horsepower and the torque is as high as 1.040 Nm. It takes only 4.8 seconds to accelerate 100 kilometers, which makes me look forward to his driving experience. You know, the power output of 700 horses is comparable to Lamborghini, Ferrari and other top supercars. As an SUV model positioned at home, I am really surprised to be able to carry such a powertrain.

However, in terms of driving, the chassis adjustment style of Scorpio SF5 is still biased towards daily use. During the test drive in the city, the steering feedback of Cyrus SF5 is relatively direct, and the acceleration and braking are linear. The comfort of the chassis is particularly commendable: thanks to the soft shock absorber, Teana SF5 will isolate most unnecessary vibrations, which can ensure the comfort of the passengers to the maximum extent, whether it is filtering subtle vibrations on the paved road or driving on the rugged unpaved gravel road. In addition, Cyrus also provides a variety of driving modes and steering modes, and can provide at most 120 combinations of driving modes, so that drivers can find the mode that best suits their driving style on SF5.

In the field test drive, the shortcomings of Teana SF5 are also obvious: in the short-distance simulated track test drive, the comfortable chassis of Teana SF5 obviously can't cope with the weight transfer brought by the body weighing 2.4 tons, and the soft shock absorber can't give the driver enough support when changing direction rapidly, which also makes the power performance of SF5 slightly disappointing. Although this SF5 is equipped with Pirelli's flagship tire product P? Zero, but the weight of the car still affects the performance of the tire. However, as a family car, extreme driving is not common, so I think the chassis style of SF5 will be more popular in the usual car scene.

In the linear acceleration link, 700 horsepower of Tianjie SF5 was put into use. The strong torque of the motor makes the linear acceleration performance of SF5 quite rapid. In the process of accelerating from standstill, SF5 can break 100 in just 4.8 seconds. It is not accurate to use "pushing back" to describe the feeling of full acceleration of SF5, but it is obviously more appropriate to use "kicking back" to describe the acceleration of SF5.

Performance, also rest assured.

It is worth mentioning that Tianjie SF5 has focused on the most worrying safety problem of new energy vehicles from the beginning of design, and made great efforts in battery protection: Tianjie SF5 adopts triple structure to ensure the safety of batteries, namely, battery module shell protection, battery packaging structure protection and vehicle side beam structure protection. In addition, the battery of Tianji SF5 also has the physical protection level of IP67. During the test drive, we drove Teana SF5 into the water with a depth of about 1 m for wading test, and there was no problem with Teana SF5. You know, in the rainy season in southern China, water accumulation on urban roads is very common, and the battery waterproof design of Cyrus SF5 is really commendable.

As a brand-new brand, Celis kept a low profile before its release, but the first product it brought did not disappoint. Before the market of extended-range electric vehicles is saturated, it is actually wise for SF5 to choose to join this blue ocean, because extended-range electric vehicles have indeed solved some problems that traditional electric vehicles are difficult to solve. It will also give users a better experience. If you are worried that traditional electric vehicles can't meet your needs, but are limited by the new energy policy, then Tianjie SF5 is indeed a rare choice in this level.
