Dongfeng eπ007-Hybrid REEV

The exterior is impeccable, and the passenger space is very spacious, but the trunk is a letdown for a liftback model! The lights are good (especially the headlights for the same price range), and the reading lights are also praiseworthy. Although the trunk light has been replaced with an LED, it's still not very bright, and the license plate light is still a halogen bulb... The sound of the rear spoiler raising and lowering is a bit loud... The brakes are linear, acceleration is responsive, and the 2.0T power is solid (I have the extended-range version). Compared to the 2024 model, the chassis is softer and more resilient, no longer just stiff for the sake of being stiff. The electric release button isn't as dangerous as I imagined; I'm 172cm, and when the seat is adjusted to the lowest position, I can't touch it anyway. The seat massage is comfortable, with stronger intensity than the 2024 model, and the backrest ventilation is better than nothing. The noise improvement compared to the 2024 model is indeed significant; the motor noise and low-frequency booming (which causes headaches) have been noticeably reduced, especially the low-frequency booming. In the 2024 model, driving at 80km/h would directly give me a headache (2024 model owners, don't骂我 (｢･ω･)｢嘿, thank you for your support, which led to a better experience for us with the new model). The sunroof is okay, not too hot (maybe the weather here isn't too hot). The sound system is great, but you have to use the head unit audio source, basically saying goodbye to Bluetooth music. (Don't believe those online tutorials that randomly adjust the sound effects; if you see someone boosting the midrange, you can just exit immediately.) It's not a top-tier sound system, so don't boost the midrange. Appropriately increasing the bass and treble will give good sound效果, just moderate, after all, the price point doesn't support such a large dynamic range. Believe it or not, but seeing those adjusting to settings like 8778 just bothers me—can you really listen to that? Personal opinion, if there's disagreement, you're right... This is a bit messy, just bear with it. Welcome to交流, and by the way, looking for a group.

【Range and Energy Consumption】
I picked up the car in Guizhou. Driving from Zunyi to Chongqing is over 200 kilometers. Since there are many tunnels there with a speed limit of 80, the energy consumption was around 11. Usually, with the air conditioning on normally, it's about 12, which is pretty well controlled. If I always try to be the first at traffic lights, I've seen the electricity consumption go up to 16, so it has a lot to do with driving habits. Normally, it's around 12.
My daily commute is over 30 kilometers, and with some weekend trips, I charge it once every half a month. I have no range anxiety at all, and charging is cheap, saving money.

【Exterior and Interior】
In terms of exterior, I'm particularly satisfied with the rear spoiler, red caliper covers, and the thickness of the paint. The only thing is the logo, which is two darts in a spiral symmetry instead of axial symmetry—I personally don't like that much.
I chose the white interior. When I picked up the car, the orange seatbelts felt a bit flashy but still looked good. One thing about the interior is that in light like sunset, it appears reddish, especially when compared to the white car paint, which makes it more noticeable.

【Driving Experience】
I used to drive a Peugeot 308s. The steering feel is very similar to the Peugeot 308s—turns exactly where you point. For the chassis, because it uses MacPherson struts, it feels not as good as the double wishbone on the Xpeng P7+. The road feel with MacPherson isn't as clear, but among cars in the same price range, it's much better than Leapmotor, Deepal, Qiyuan, Aion, and BYD (after all, the price is there). Especially when Sport Mode is on, the acceleration push is strong. But I don't recommend using Sport Mode in the city; if you can't control it well, it might affect safety.

【Cockpit】Before buying, I was worried that the infotainment system not being 8295 would cause lag. After picking up the car, compared to the infotainment system in my 308s fuel car, it exceeded my expectations. I haven't noticed any lag or crashes, and it's quite smooth. It's just that the voice control doesn't seem to have access to a large language model yet, or maybe I haven't figured it out completely.

【Tips】The sunroof has a sun protection function that blocks UV rays and heat, so even with direct sunlight, it doesn't make your head feel hot. But the front windshield isn't heat-insulating. In Chongqing, if you park it outdoors in summer, the interior can get close to 70 degrees. I set the air conditioning to automatically turn on 10 minutes before I get off work in the App; otherwise, the car is too hot to get into after work.
I bought the car film recommended by the dealer but haven't installed it yet. I'll share the experience after installing it.

Advantages:

The battery is large enough, the four-wheel drive version has sufficient power, and the handling is good;
With a rear spoiler, the side profile looks good;
The infotainment system is average, in my opinion, slightly worse than DeepBlue's system but better than Arcfox's.
