In recent year, there are more and more new energy vehicles on the road, and the new energy vehicle industry has basically changed from policy-driven to market-driven. Although he lives in a city where you don't need indicators to buy a fuel car, he still wants to buy a tram, and the reason he gives is simple: pure electric cars are cool to drive, and the cost of the car is low. But in the selection of the car, my friend also made a dilemma, his hands of money, can afford to buy the top of the BYD Song PLUS EV, can also add some money to buy the high AION V PLUS, he is also torn between the two cars. Today we will take my friend's car buying needs as an example, and look at the 200,000 budget to buy a tram, in the end, should be directly on the top of the Song PLUS EV, or add money to the high AION V PLUS.
From the price point of view, the AION V PLUS has a guideline price range of 187,600-269,800 yuan, while the Song PLUS EV is 180,800-197,800 yuan, the price span of AION V PLUS is obviously larger. At the same time, AION V PLUS offers different power and range versions, while Song PLUS EV only offers one power and range version, so relatively speaking, the choice of AION V PLUS is wider.
The models that my friends are torn between are AION V PLUS 2023 Plus 80 Pilot Intelligent Driving Edition (hereinafter referred to as: AION V PLUS) and Song PLUS EV 2021 Flagship (hereinafter referred to as: Song PLUS EV), the former's guide price is 236,800 yuan, the latter's guide price is 197,800 yuan, the difference between the two cars is about 40,000 yuan, let's take the following Let's take these two models as an example and start today's comparison.
AION V PLUS has a simple overall design, which can be seen as a new energy vehicle at a glance, but AION V PLUS adopts split headlights, hidden door handles and other designs, the overall visual effect is more compact, and the body is fully coordinated. The proportion is full of coordination. At the same time, the two-color body is also a feature of the AION V PLUS, which now also includes the "Smoky Green" color, and its visual effect will be more individual.
The design of Song PLUS EV is obviously designed to meet the public aesthetics, the design style of the car is slightly traditional, but the closed grille belongs to the characteristic design of Song PLUS EV, which also enhances the recognition of the car. At the same time, the body shape of Song PLUS EV is relatively wide and the visual effect is more atmospheric. In addition, the penetrating tail light cluster also enhances the recognizability of the Song PLUS EV.
In the interior, the design of AION V PLUS is still simple, its center console layout is very regular, with a two-spoke steering wheel, the overall atmosphere is clean and sharp. At the same time, AION V PLUS adopts the design of the suspended center control screen, with the suspended full LCD instrument panel, also enhances the sense of technology in the interior. It is worth mentioning that AION V PLUS's center screen and instrument panel are each driven by a chip, and the "dual-screen, dual-core" configuration can enhance the smoothness of the system. In addition, the electronic gear knob of AION V PLUS adopts the design of "pocket gear", which also leaves more storage space for the center front row.
The interior of the Song PLUS EV adopts a symmetrical layout, with a rather atmospheric visual effect. At the same time, the Song PLUS EV also adopts the design of a suspended center control screen, and its center control screen supports rotation, which is not bad for adaptability, but the layout of its LCD instrument panel is more traditional and lacks some modern sense. At the same time, although the Song PLUS EV is also equipped with two screens, it does not adopt the "dual-screen dual-core" configuration, and its system runs a little less smoothly. In addition, the Song PLUS EV adopts the design of conventional electronic gear knob, but its gear knob area retains some physical buttons, which is more convenient for "blind operation".
In terms of configuration, because of the obvious differences between the two models we have selected, we will no longer distinguish between winners and losers in this part of the comparison, but mainly see whether the configuration of the two cars can afford their respective prices. Intelligent driving and active safety level, AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV both support L2 level intelligent driving assistance, both also have parallel assist function. However, AION V PLUS is also equipped with lane centering, automatic lane change assist, and high-speed NDA intelligent pilot assist system, which strictly speaking, its intelligent driving level is between L2 and L3 level. At the same time, AION V PLUS also supports remote parking, over-the-horizon summon parking and other functions, the car can outperform most of the traditional brand products.
At the level of human-computer interaction, both AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV are equipped with Telematics system, OTA upgrade, and in terms of functionality, both cars support voice interaction, online navigation, mobile APP car control and other functions. At the same time, both AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV also support application expansion, but AION V PLUS is richer in expandable functions; in terms of conventional configuration, Song PLUS EV has more features such as reverse car side warning, front acoustic glass, rear side privacy glass, etc. The basic configuration of the car is also quite rich. Overall, the intelligent technology configuration of AION V PLUS belongs to the first echelon in the industry, and the intelligent technology configuration of Song PLUS EV is also sufficient, both of which can afford their respective prices.
Space LYNK&CO, this belongs to the AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV one of the hard strength. From the size point of view, AION V PLUS length, width and height of 4650, 1920, 1720mm, wheelbase of 2830mm, because the car from the pure electric platform, its wheelbase, car width data are good, the car also belongs to the standard "four wheels four corners" layout, so this car also provides seven-seat layout. The length, width and height of the Song PLUS EV are 4705, 1890 and 1680mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2765mm, the car's body proportions are of a conventional level. Overall, the AION V PLUS has some advantages in terms of its general size, which is reflected in the specific space, and the overall ride space of the AION V PLUS will be more spacious.
In terms of comfort features, the front seats of both AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV support electric adjustment, seat heating and seat ventilation, both of which are noteworthy.
At the rear, the rear seats of AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV both support backrest adjustment, and both have basic air conditioning vents, and their performance is basically equivalent.
The trunk LYNK&CO, as a compact SUV, AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV rear seats support proportional down, AION V PLUS trunk volume of 583-1563L, Song PLUS EV is 574-1477L, AION V PLUS has a small advantage.
Power and range, which is also the part of new energy vehicle consumers are more concerned about. First of all, the battery pack of AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV both provide unlimited years/unlimited mileage (first owner) warranty program, which can be commended, after all, can provide protection for later use of the car. Meanwhile, both AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV are equipped with a front drive motor, and both have a relatively similar structure. However, in terms of specific parameters, the electric motor of AION V PLUS has a maximum power of 165kW and a maximum torque of 350N-m, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the car is 7.6 seconds, which is still relatively abundant; the electric motor of Song PLUS EV has a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 280N-m, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the car is 10.4 seconds, according to the actual test of the car understanding emperor. With the price of the car, I think the power output of Song PLUS EV is a bit weak.
In terms of range, the AION V PLUS is equipped with an 80kWh battery pack, and the car has a NEDC range of 600km, which is sufficient to meet the needs of intercity commuting; the Song PLUS EV is equipped with a 71.7kWh battery pack, and the car has a NEDC range of 505km, which can also meet the needs of daily travel. Overall, the AION V PLUS has some advantages in power output and range.
Summary: From the respective product power performance of AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV, the configuration and space of the two cars are affordable for their respective price. At the same time, the price of AION V PLUS is higher, the car's intelligent driving configuration, power output, range have some advantages, the car as a whole has no shortcomings; Song PLUS EV' s own price is slightly cheaper, its range, intelligent driving configuration is also enough, but the car's power belongs to the shortcomings. Although there is a price difference between AION V PLUS and Song PLUS EV, but considering the full cycle of car experience after we buy the car, I personally would recommend AION V PLUS, after all, the car is more enjoyable to drive and more convenient for long-distance travel.
