On the front face, the horizontal luminous light strip runs through the headlights on both sides. When lit, it outlines a simple and capable outline shape, which is highly recognizable. This set of headlights is not only exquisite in shape, but also has all-in-one functions. It uses IQ.Light matrix smart LED headlights, which have functions such as adaptive high and low beams, automatic headlight height adjustment, and follow-up steering assistance. It can be said that it is One of the most versatile headlights currently on the market.
Thanks to the design concept of short front and rear overhangs and long wheelbase of the Volkswagen MEB electrified platform, the side lines of ID.3 appear very dynamic and smooth. The A-pillar is tilted at a large angle to further increase the front windshield area and provide a wider field of vision. The front hatch trim panel is connected with the gloss black panoramic sunroof and the gloss black trunk lid to create a large gloss black roof, visually lowering the center of gravity of the car body. The rim size is 18 inches and uses a set of dynamic low-wind resistance rims.
The design of the tail inherits some classic design elements, such as the taillights of the ID.3, which everyone must be familiar with. In addition, the black and white contrasting design used in our actual photos gives the actual car a very good look. In addition to the actual white color, Volkswagen ID.3 also has more trendy body colors, such as Aurora Green, Cyber Yellow and other bright colors, which appear more fashionable.
In terms of interior design, ID.3 follows the lightweight design concept of the ID. series. The first thing that catches the eye is the 5.3-inch LCD instrument and the 10-inch floating central control screen, which are placed on the simple center console. , and covered with a large area of soft material, piano paint panels. Its interior, both in terms of technological atmosphere and fashionable texture, has been greatly improved compared to Volkswagen's fuel models.

The battery pack will also have only one capacity, 57.3kWh, and the charging time from 0-80% will only take 40 minutes. The NEDC pure electric cruising range of the 2022 model is 450km.

Xpeng P5
Official guide price: 177,900-249,900 yuan
Suitable for: small families who mainly travel short distances
Xpeng P5 is an important model, there is no doubt about it. As a blockbuster model of a leading new power brand with a price of 200,000 yuan, it is responsible for whether the brand can reach a wider consumer group and whether it can pass on Xiaopeng's core competitiveness to them, thereby bringing about word-of-mouth of sinking.
In terms of appearance design, with the elegant coupe shape of the Xpeng P7 at the front, we think the Xpeng P5 will actually be more regular, with a sense of difference between the Audi A5 and the A3. However, the X-light saber DNA of the Xiaopeng family and the through-type LED headlights can still make people tell that this is a Xiaopeng.
What is more eye-catching in appearance is naturally the lidar on both sides of the front bumper. It uses a biprism scanning solution and is arranged on both sides of the bumper. You should be careful about collisions when using the car. The X element on the front face is more obvious. It is worth mentioning that the front bumper uses an active air intake grille, which is closed at high speeds to reduce wind resistance., open to improve airflow at low speeds.
Looking from the side, the Xpeng P5 has a body size of 4808*1840*1530mm and a wheelbase of 2768mm, which is relatively large among compact cars. Both the body length and wheelbase parameters are at this level. First echelon. At the same time, the space performance has also been further enhanced. According to actual measurements, the riding space performance is equivalent to that of its elder brother, the Xpeng P7, and even better in terms of rear-row experience.
Hidden door handles have now been distributed to new energy models of all levels, and the Xpeng P5 also has them. The 18-inch wheels have a good shape, and the two-color five-spoke wheels can reduce wind resistance to a certain extent. Coupled with the lowered D-pillar, the drag coefficient of the Xpeng P5 can reach 0.223Cd, which is a very excellent level.
The rear shape echoes the front face. The through-type LED taillight group also has Xelements. The rear bumper and the body form a contrasting color design. The whole thing is relatively conventional.
The interior of the Xpeng P5 adopts Xpeng's new star track-encircled design style. The through-type air conditioning outlets and the oversized central control screen in the center are the most eye-catching parts. Taking the air-conditioning outlet as the boundary, different materials and colors are used to distinguish the upper and lower parts, creating a clear sense of hierarchy.
Intelligent experience has always been the advantage of Xpeng brand models, and the Xpeng P5 is no exception. The Xpeng P5's car chip is Qualcomm Snapdragon SA8155P, which is considered to be in the first echelon among car processors. At the same time, the 15.6-inch central large screen has a high resolution and excellent display effect. The intelligent Xmart OS 3.0 system it is equipped with is standard for the entire series. This vehicle-computer system integrates a wealth of on-board applications. With the support of OTA intelligent upgrades, powerful processors, and sufficient memory, the experience of the entire vehicle-computer system is absolutely innovative compared to traditional fuel vehicles.
Of course, the intelligent experience also includes the automatic driving assistance system that everyone is paying close attention to. With the support of lidar and multiple body sensors, the Xpeng P5 can support up to XPILOT 3.5 automatic driving assistance system. On the Xpeng P5, the "E" and "P" versions are equipped with the XPILOT 2.5 system. The former can be ordered with the 3.0 system, which is the system that can realize high-speed NGP functions on the Xpeng P7. The latter can be ordered as a 3.5 system. The XPILOT 3.5 system will add urban NGP capabilities. Lidar serves this system. Lidars are installed on both sides mainly to deal with the sudden congestion of people and vehicles on urban roads.
In terms of power, Xpeng P5 provides several mainstream combinations. First of all, the entire Xpeng P5 series is equipped with a 155-kilowatt front single motor with a peak torque of 310 Nm, which is equal toThe high-power 1.5T turbocharged engine performs quite well. The official announcement is that this car can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in 7.5 seconds, which is at the middle level among compact cars. The Xpeng P5 is not a sports car.
In terms of battery life, Xpeng P5 offers three types of battery life, namely NEDC 460km, 550km and 600km. Both support DC and AC charging. The lowest endurance version is equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries, and the other versions are ternary lithium batteries. All series are equipped with heat pump air conditioners. Currently, heat pump air conditioners are an effective solution to solve the winter endurance problem of electric vehicles.
Editor’s summary: Xpeng P5 has many differences from existing new energy models. It no longer competes for stronger power and longer battery life, but focuses on the more commonly used intelligent experience. And in space. Apart from aesthetic controversies, I think the direction of the Xpeng P5 is quite correct. In addition, the concept of the third space that the Xpeng P5 focuses on is also in line with the "utopian dream" of many urban consumers, right? At least in For light camping, the electric car's external discharge, no idling air conditioning and other functions still have good advantages over many fuel vehicles.
Tank 300
Official guide price: 195,800-308,000 yuan
Suitable for people: People who have unique taste requirements for vehicles
Including the Cyber Tank, which was later sold at a higher price, it was also because the exterior and interior were raised to a very high level and the aesthetic original factory modification style was introduced, that the car's current sales volume was achieved. Since there is not much price difference between the city version and the off-road version with the same configuration, we will take the off-road version as an example today.
The Tank 300 is currently not very popular on the Internet, but judging from sales, this car has not gone silent. Even in 2022, this car can still maintain monthly sales of several thousand. A large part of the reason why this car has become a phenomenal product comes from its design - some consumers will say it is because of its off-road performance, but judging from the sales ratio, the urban version is actually the mainstream.
In terms of appearance, the shape of the Tank 300 off-road version adopts the square box shape common among hard drive off-road vehicles, which can bring better approach and departure angles, and also has some retro flavor. The combination of circular light groups + horizontal strip daytime running lights on the left and right sides is the most conspicuous symbol of this car.
In addition, the vehicle has a strong off-road style in appearance. The expanded wheel arches and rough sense of power are the key to creating a sense of momentum for this car. With the matrix LED light group and just the right black or chrome decoration, It not only has a sense of momentum that exceeds that of ordinary SUVs, but also has a sense of fashion of modern models. The integration of classics and technology is in place.
Of course, in addition to the shape, you can also see the detailsHow accurately the Tank 300 grasps the psychology of off-road groups. The frosted front and rear bumpers, wheel arches, and rearview mirror shells can prevent stones or bushes from scratching the paint when crossing. There is also a steel structure support inside the front bumper, which means that this is not a fake. The larger seams are not a matter of workmanship, but rather a consideration of the roominess when facing road impacts. 
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the vehicle are 4760/1930/1927mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2750mm. The vehicle's approach angle is 33°, departure angle is 34°, minimum ground clearance is 224mm, and breakover angle is 23.1°.
The rear-mounted full-size spare tire on the classic off-road model also appears on the Tank 300, which is also one of the signs of "hardcore". Because of this, the rear tailgate of the Tank 300 adopts the overall flat opening mode. Of course, if it were me, I would prefer the combination of the bottom spare tire + the sky and earth door, which is more useful when camping.
In addition to the off-road version, the body color of the Tank 300 City Edition also adds a more modern atmosphere to the vehicle. The colors of grass green and pink are very fashionable.
The interior is also the specialty of Tank 300. The interior of the vehicle has the style of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class: a lot of leather materials, a dual screen composed of two 12.3-inch screens, turbine-shaped air conditioning outlets, etc. The vehicle seats are made of NAPPA leather, and the contrasting texture adds a fashionable touch.
In fact, conceptually, the interior of the Tank 300 follows the design concept of "taking into account both off-road and luxury comfort". We can see some interior design elements found on rugged off-road vehicles, such as round air outlets, rivets and On the passenger handle, you can also see the electronic gear lever, exquisite leather, and stitching.
The multi-function steering wheel is relatively thick, with operating buttons for the L2 active safety system integrated on both sides. The vehicle-machine system has a set of UI specially designed for tanks, which can indeed achieve the dual performance of off-road and technological sense, and there is no shortage of various trendy functions. Tank 300 has a good Infnity sound system with 9 speakers. Although it is not top-notch among cars with more than 200,000 yuan, it can still bring a mid-to-high-level listening experience.
In terms of power, the Tank 300 is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 227 horsepower and a maximum torque of 387 Nm. The engine is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. The Tank 300 uses a non-load-bearing body and a BorgWarner part-time four-wheel drive system with nine driving modes, front and rear differential locks, creep mode and tank U-turn functions. The front axle is a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear axle is an integral axle non-independent suspension, which is tough enough from a structural point of view.
Editor’s comment: The interesting thing about the Tank 300 is that it has advantages that most SUVs do not have.It has wild performance and also has a luxurious and comfortable feeling that most off-road vehicles do not have. More importantly, it only costs more than 200,000. There are many scenarios and lifestyles you can achieve with this car. In fact, for many Tank 300 owners, they may not have hard-core off-road needs. Mild off-roading and camping are their favorite lifestyles. However, obviously the Tank 300 with its large space, rich technology configuration, and good off-road foundation will be better than the CR. -V or Wrangler come more attractive.
Full text summary: The three models recommended today are not family cars in the traditional sense, but they actually have no shortcomings in terms of practicality. Whether they are two new energy models or the last one that is biased toward off-road use, in a certain In each sense, they all have their own unique "fun" points, so the sales of the three models are actually not bad in their respective market segments. From the perspective of popularity, the relatively high among the three models is still the Tank 300, followed by the Volkswagen ID.3, which is also directly proportional to the sales of these models.
