When choosing a car, everyone has different purposes and budgets for the vehicle. But I believe that as ordinary people, everyone wants to spend little money to achieve great things. If you can buy a car with a large space, comfortable to sit and drive, and preferably with some smart experience at the most affordable price, it will definitely be a satisfactory thing. As far as the current situation is concerned, pure electric new energy vehicles are undoubtedly the best choice. After all, charging is much more affordable than refueling.
In terms of price, the 150,000-level is a price range that everyone is more concerned about. Although there are many models in this price range, if you want to pick out a model that meets the above conditions, it is almost rare. But don't worry, the protagonist of this article is a new car from the Venucia brand, the new Venucia VX6 , I think it should satisfy you.
STAR design concept is novel and fashionable
What kind of design should a family-oriented vehicle have in terms of appearance? Just look at the new Venucia VX6. This time, the new Venucia VX6 is built with the STAR design concept. The overall appearance does not use a rounded shape, but a relatively tough design with some edges and corners, which also highlights its difference from most family SUVs on the market. Although this car is defined as a compact SUV, from the first impression of getting the car, this is a mid-size SUV with a leapfrog size, which satisfies the Chinese users' preference for large cars.
The closed front grille is in line with the design of pure electric new energy vehicles. The front part is not long and has no obvious downward pressure, which fits the straight body shape very well. The creative split-type light group design gives people a sense of surprise at first sight. The LED light strip running through the front of the car outlines a "V" shape in the middle of the front of the car. The whole car lights support welcoming guests and cool light language effects.
Positioned as a compact SUV, but with a size close to that of a mid-sized SUV, what does it feel like? The new Venucia VX6 uses a short front and long cabin design to maximize the space utilization of the passenger compartment. Hidden door handles have also become a standard feature of current new energy vehicles.
In fact, on the side of the car, you will find that the side windows and four door windows of the new Venucia VX6 are designed to be very large. When you sit in the car, you will get a very wide view. Combined with the light-colored interior color, the interior of the car will be particularly bright and have a sense of space.
The shape of the rear of the car echoes the design of the front face, and the red through-type LED light strip at the rear echoes the shape of the headlight group. The test drive version of the car supports the induction opening method of the tailgate. With the key on your body, stand at the tailgate for more than 3 seconds, and the tailgate will open automatically. Compared with the more traditional kick-type door opening, it is more convenient and more elegant. It is also worth mentioning that the tailgate opens at a high angle, and I will not hit my head when I walk over with a height of 180cm. The ultra-spacious trunk opening of 1225mm and the ultra-low trunk threshold height of 640mm from the ground make it easy to carry large luggage.
Simple cockpit design highlights comfort and technology
The cockpit design of the new Venucia VX6 also fully considers the needs of family users and current users for automotive technology and comfort. The first feeling when entering the car is still the spacious space that brings a very bright experience. There are no extra physical buttons in the car, and almost all functions can be adjusted on the central control screen. The central console also uses a lot of soft materials, and the light color scheme also creates a very warm home style.
The semi-open central storage area increases the sense of space in the cabin, and the upper and lower layered design makes it easy to place different types of small items. Another advantage of this design is that when the main driver's door is blocked and you need to enter the car from the co-pilot, it is easier to cross the central sub-dashboard area. This design is usually used in MPV models.
In terms of creating a sense of technology, the new Venucia VX6 uses a combination of LCD instrument and narrow-frame central control high-definition large screen. The display effect of the central control high-definition large screen is currently at the upper level, with bright colors and high saturation. The car computer is equipped with Venucia's new generation of intelligent car system - "Lighthouse OS 2.0", with 8155 car chip, running speed is smooth, the system supports OTA upgrades, 16G RAM plus 128G storage, enough to cope with the use of commonly used APPs.
The car computer has built-in many popular apps, including Youku Video, Kuaishou, QQ Music, Kugou Music, Himalaya, Information Radio, etc. If you have more needs, you can also use HiCar, Carlink, and cross-screen interconnection to connect your phone and car computer seamlessly, making the car computer as easy to use as a mobile phone.
In addition to these routine operations, the car computer also supports AI intelligent voice assistant, which enables long-term multi-round dialogues and can speak as long as you can see, which is very convenient to experience. The car computer also provides AI smart scenes. Users can complete the setting of smart scenes by adding several or more actions, which is somewhat similar to programming. For example, the scene I set is called getting off work. The order of commands added in this scene is unlock, start, greeting, air conditioning temperature 20°, and play music. Then when I click on this scene, the system will trigger a series of commands I added.
In order to increase the driving comfort, the vehicle also provides atmosphere theme modes, such as Weizhou Beach, Wooden Fish in the Rain, Small Stone Pool and other themes. When turned on, the screen display, air conditioning temperature and music will be linked. It is especially suitable for taking a short rest in the car when you are tired of driving.
The seat settings of the new Venucia VX6 are also very interesting. Let's talk about the more conventional operations first. The front seats provide multi-directional electric adjustment, ventilation and heating functions, and the wide seat settings allow those users with a strong body to find a suitable sitting position for long-distance driving.
The rear seat backrests are adjustable at multiple angles. Thanks to the extra-large space setting and the flat floor design in the rear row, a colleague with a height of 185cm can sit quite comfortably in the back row. Needless to say, the head and leg space performance is very spacious, as you can tell at first glance.
In terms of seat design, this car has a unique secret, which is to turn it into a king-size bed room in seconds. The king-size bed room of the new Venucia VX6 is different from other similar models. Generally, the second and third row seats are laid flat, and the trunk floor is added to form a king-size bed. However, the new Venucia VX6 is more extreme in space utilization. Its front seats can also be completely folded forward and laid flat, so that almost the entire length of the car can be used, which is more thorough than other brands.
The ride is more comfortable and not suitable for intense control
In terms of power, the new Venucia VX6 is equipped with an electric motor with a maximum power of 160 kW and a peak torque of 275 Nm, a battery pack capacity of 62 kWh, and a CLTC range of 520 km, which is considered a mainstream product among pure electric new energy vehicles of the same price.
The driving mode provides two levels of adjustment: comfort and passion. In addition to strong and weak, there is also an adaptive mode for kinetic energy recovery. After using it, I think if you don't have any special requirements for kinetic energy recovery, it is completely OK to put it in adaptive mode for normal driving. The output adjustment of the motor of this car is soft and linear. In comfort mode, you need to press the accelerator pedal over 50% to have a strong sense of pushing back. In passion mode, the power output is obviously much faster, but the initial acceleration will still give you a stable feeling.
The suspension of the whole car is tuned to be soft. Even when the tire pressure reached 3.1 bar, the vibration of the car body is still not so obvious when passing through a relatively hard obstacle such as a speed bump. If you accelerate suddenly or turn at a large angle, the body swing will be a little larger. Of course, this car is also equipped with a comfort braking function. When encountering large ups and downs at high speed, the suspension can still support the body, so it is not like riding a boat, which is easy to cause motion sickness.
The steering of this car is obviously adjusted to be light and comfortable. The low-speed steering is very light, with almost no frame volume, and the steering can follow up in time. However, if you are a person who cares about the steering feel, this car may not satisfy you. The high-speed steering will become slightly heavier, and the steering ratio is moderate. A 180-degree turn can be fully achieved in two and a half turns.
The models tested in this test drive also have intelligent driving assistance, and all the current mainstream functions are supported. The experience shows that it is a very usable state, which can give the driver enough confidence when cruising at high speeds. In case of emergency, the active safety configuration can also monitor the vehicle well.
The NVH performance is quite satisfactory, which is the average level of this level. When the speed exceeds 80 km/h, it is relatively easy to talk in the front and back seats, and the volume does not need to be too loud. The control of wind noise and road noise is also quite good. After a day of test driving, I hardly felt anything.
Summary:Overall, I think Venucia's products are very good. After launching the three major technology brands of Vita native pure electric platform, V-Joy smart space, and Luban battery, three new products corresponding to the three technical paths, Venucia Big V DD-i plug-in hybrid, Venucia VX6, and Venucia Big V Hydrogen, have also been launched. In 2024, the "All in" new energy road was opened.
As for the new Venucia VX6, with its good looks, large space, intelligence and affordable price, Venucia knows what users need. In this era of competition, perhaps only by being comprehensive and differentiated can we win the reputation of users and the recognition of the market. Of course, moderate publicity is also essential. As a heavyweight model of Venucia, the new Venucia VX6 can be said to be a product that integrates the brand's advanced technology to meet market demand and satisfy users in all aspects. I hope Venucia can regain users' attention through this product, and I also look forward to what Venucia's next model will look like.
