Bitauto Original Did you see the conspicuous green card in the cover picture? Yes, this is a new energy SUV that can be green-labelled. In order to bring users more choices, when launching the Auchan Z6, Changan Auchan also brought its new energy version-Auchan Z6 iDD. The official guide price of this car is 155,800-175,800 yuan. Its price may not be the highest among the Changan Auchan family, but its configuration and usage experience must be the best.

This Auchan Z6 iDD has been in the editorial office for a long time, and I have driven it for more than 1,000 kilometers. Next, I will focus on the key points and share with you my actual use experience. .

Trial model: 2022 Blue Whale iDD 1.5T 150KM flagship PLUS smart parking version, official guide price: 175,800 yuan.

Can be powered by fuel or electricity, with a battery life of more than 1,000 years

AuchanZ6 iDD is equipped with Blue WhaleiDD special hybrid system, powered byBlue Whale NE15T hybrid special engine and drive motor provide power. Among them, 1.5Tengine has a maximum power of 125kW, a maximum torque of 260N·m, and a drive motor with maximum power span>110kW, maximum torque330N·m. The transmission is matched with a 6-speed three-clutch electric drive gearbox, with a pure electric range of 150km and a battery capacity of 28.4kWh. It supports both AC and DC charging modes. In fast charging mode, it only takes half an hour to charge the battery from 30% to 80%, and it also has an external discharge function.

Thanks to this hybrid system, with full fuel and full charge, the instrument shows that the Auchan Z6 iDD can provide a total cruising range of more than 1,200 kilometers. This performance can even allow it to achieve a long-distance self-driving trip. A round trip with a tank of gas can indeed save a lot on gas costs.

In the "Blue Whale iDD Special Hybrid" interface, we can adjust the vehicle's power management, drive mode (HEV/EV), kinetic energy recovery, etc. The layout of the entire interface is not complicated, and we can quickly Find the areas that need adjustment. In addition, Auchan Z6 iDD also provides two SOC power retention options. We can choose freely. If we want the battery to maintain a higher power when camping, we can adjust the camping power to ensure that the battery has sufficient power. .

Salt or sweet, the city is smooth and quiet, high-speed power is worry-free

Since it is a new energy SUV, let’s first talk about its performance in EV mode. Thanks to the 110kW/330N·m parameters of the motor, the Auchan Z6 iDD drives more briskly in EV mode, and the motor pushes this 1.8-ton machine effortlessly. Everyone knows the output characteristics of the motor. It responds in time and can output the maximum torque instantly, so it is quite comfortable to drive this car in the city.

The switch adjustment style of the Auchan Z6 iDD is not too radical. Except for the wider response speed, the driving experience is not much different from the fuel model. If you switch from a fuel vehicle to one, you don't have to worry about not being able to adapt. You can figure out its character with just a little step.

As we mentioned earlier, it is equipped with a 28.4kW·h large-capacity battery pack, and the NEDC pure electric range can reach 150km. For most people, its pure electric range can already cover the daily commute to and from get off work. If you have a charging pile at home, you can completely achieve zero fuel consumption in urban commuting.

If you switch to HEV mode, as long as the battery is still charged, the vehicle will still use the motor to output power at medium and low speeds, ensuring a comfortable driving quality and low fuel consumption. But if the driver presses the accelerator deeply, or when driving on the highway, the engine will start and participate in the output of power. Especially in the economical speed range of the internal combustion engine such as high speed, the engine can be directly driven.

With this foundation, Auchan Z6 iDD has excellent performance at high speeds.Reacceleration ability. Different from the BYD Song PLUS DM-i of the same level, its high-speed re-acceleration capability is very strong. When accelerating from 100km/h to 120km/h, it is not inferior to some 2.0T fuel models. Using the motor to cover medium and low-speed working conditions, and using the engine to enhance the power output in high-speed working conditions, this is the strategy of Auchan Z6 iDD.

Of course, during such a long period of using the car, we must conduct performance tests on it. Its acceleration from zero to 100 seconds also surprised us, reaching 7.1 seconds. For such a big car with a dead weight of 1.8 tons, it is already very good to be able to achieve such a result. If you want to enjoy such power performance, remember to switch to track mode, which is the strongest power mode of this car.

Next, let’s talk about sound insulation. This is where this car has spent a lot of money. In fact, for an electric vehicle, what we need to pay attention to is tire noise and wind noise, which are mainly related to the vehicle's tire model and sound insulation materials. First of all, let’s talk about tire noise. The Auchan Z6 iDD we have is equipped with four Michelin Haoyue 4 tires that focus on quietness. In most cases, they have very good tire noise performance.

As for wind noise, at speeds below 100km/h, if you don’t pay careful attention, you won’t be able to perceive the wind noise. Only when the vehicle speed approaches 120km/h will the driver hear slight wind noise. This kind of performance can be ranked very high among models of the same level or even a higher level. Such sound insulation performance, coupled with excellent SONY audio, makes self-driving a pleasure. As for engine noise, wouldn’t it be more exciting to hear the roar of the engine when accelerating hard?

Changan Auchan has always done well in terms of chassis, and this is especially true for this Auchan Z6 iDD. Since the battery pack is installed under the chassis, this car can naturally give the driver an image of a thick and stable chassis. This performance can give the driver greater confidence when cornering quickly and passing some bumps. As for the suspension, this car adopts the form of front MacPherson + rear multi-link. The overall adjustment style is more comfortable and mainly for home use.

Next, let’s talk about some of its small details. The battery protection of Auchan Z6 iDD reaches IP68 level, which exceeds the IP67 level common in the industry and can bring better protection capabilities. In addition, this car is also equipped with dual fast and slow charging ports as standard, which can be used for slow charging at home or fast charging outside for quick energy replenishment.

This last point is relatively rare. While most new energy SUVs of the same level are equipped with tire sealant and air pump, it still comes standard with a non-full-size spare tire. If you like to drive yourself, the importance of the spare tire It goes without saying that it depends on whether you keep moving forward or just lie down..

Three-screen linkage with full intelligent configuration

I have had a detailed smart experience with the Auchan Z6 fuel version before, and I was deeply impressed by its performance. In addition to the conventional smart configurations, the engineers also added several interesting new features. Functions make the vehicle no longer a cold machine. For this Auchan Z6 iDD, its performance can be said to be almost the same. Below I will introduce some of the most obvious parts when using the car. For the specific content, you are welcome to read the previous articles.

AuchanZ6 The three screens of iDD are: 10.3 inch full LCD instrument, 12.3 Britain Large central control screen, 9.2 small European screen, among which the instruments and central control screen adopt BOE’s 2KDisplay, the effect is better. When I pick up friends in this car, they will be attracted by these three screens and play with them.

When driving daily, navigation should be our most commonly used function. This car can realize navigation with 3-finger flying screen. With just one swipe, you can cast the navigation from the central control screen to the dashboard or small screen. Ouping. Of course, if you are too lazy to slide, there is no problem. As long as the central control screen exits the navigation interface with navigation turned on, the navigation information will be automatically projected to the instrument panel or small European screen, so that the driver will no longer miss important intersections.

In addition, this Auchan Z6 iDD is also equipped with a full set of driving assistance functions, which can achieve L2 level driving assistance. This system can greatly reduce fatigue when driving on the highway. If you want to be lazy when stuck in traffic on the ring road,You can also turn it on. When the following distance is adjusted to the shortest distance, it is still good at preventing other vehicles from "jamming".

Finally, there is the SONY speaker mentioned above. Nowadays, car owners are becoming more and more interested in audio. The 9-speaker audio system on the Auchan Z6 iDD has good sound quality. After being judged by all members of the editorial department, everyone has always felt that the quality of this audio system is good. It’s not an “OEM” product and can be rated highly. If you are interested, you can also go to the store to try it out.

Edit summary:

Compared with fuel vehicles at the same price, Auchan Z6 iDD has a more comfortable driving experience; compared with hybrid models at the same price, such as BYD Song PLUS DM-i, Auchan Z6 iDD has stronger power and more Long battery life. For the new energy SUV market, Auchan Z6 iDD is more like a dark horse. It can be said that it has piled all the materials to the top, and the experience it brings to daily use is: only you can’t imagine it, but it can’t be done without it. arrive.

After more than 1,000 kilometers of experience, I do have this feeling: Maybe pure electric is the big trend in the future, but at this stage, hybrid is a more practical solution. If you want to buy a hybrid SUV, you can try this Auchan Z6 iDD. Its performance will not let you down.

Bitauto's super evaluation system will be launched soon, providing users with comprehensive and practical evaluations of popular and best-selling new cars in the current market, completely solving your doubts about car selection, purchase and use.
