Guangzhou Auto Show Hall 7.1, Weimar, facing Tesla across the stage, is moving. At this auto show, they launched the new family member Weimar EX6 Plus.
As the name suggests, the EX6 Plus is an upgraded version of the EX5. Plus means that the size is also larger. The 4802/1839 / 1710mm measurements and 2715mm wheelbase have brought the car to the B-class positioning.
In marketing, Weimar has no shortage of words to “tribute” Tesla, such as propaganda posters that read “Musk, Fortunately” everywhere. I have to say that the way that domestic auto companies “chased” Tesla has gradually changed from “the Tesla killer” that was steadily in the past to “friendly”.

So what’s the hard power of EX6 Plus behind Weimar’s “Hidden Sword”? Still can not get around two points: three power levels, intelligent.
Weima EX6 Plus currently offers two models of NEDC 500km / 400km endurance version. The first launch is also the version with high endurance top, officially called the founder version, the asking price after subsidy is 232,900.
This version is powered by 69kWhThe force is still not aggressive. The permanent magnet synchronous front single motor has a maximum power of 160kW and a maximum torque of 315Nm. The acceleration result in 100 kilometers is within 9.5 seconds. This level is also in line with Weimar’s consistent family car concept, which is enough.
However, Weimar has a unique selling point, which is “warm”. The EX6 Plus is equipped with a diesel heating configuration, which can keep the battery warm and heat through the diesel engine, on the other hand, it can protect the heat and air conditioning of the car in winter.
According to the official data, it can save about 20% of the power. This part of the power will be used for battery life. We have introduced this heating system in the previous article .
In terms of chassis, the Weimar EX6 Plus uses the suspension configuration of the front Macpherson rear torsion beam, which is consistent with the EX5. In other words, no matter the powertrain or chassis structure, the EX6 Plus and EX5 are similar, which makes me even more want to drive the EX6 Plus to understand the specific differences in the driving experience of the two cars.
In terms of intelligence, Weimar has launched the Living Pilot L2 driver assistance system based on Chinese road conditions and usage scenarios. At present, such automatic driving capabilities have basically been on par with mainstream standards. The Bosch 9.3 ESP electronic stability control system used is also a well-known good in the industry.
But about sensors and autonomous drivingThe embedded chip is not embedded in the Weimar configuration table. In the future, whether the OTA upgrade can support higher-level autonomous driving, let us ask a question mark here.
Compared to autonomous driving, Weimar pays more attention to the intelligent experience in the car, that is, the Living Engine 2.0 system. At present, the voice system of the car supports up to 70 wake-up-free instructions and Chinese and English mixed recognition.
Unlike many car companies, Weimar ’s approach is more bold. The EX6 Plus ’voice system can not only operate entertainment comfort hardware such as central control instruments, but even the power is amplified to the power system. It can also be switched directly by voice. 4 Driving modes.
One ID opens up all ecosystems. This is a common practice for smart cars, and Weimar is no exception. Weimar EX6 Plus has built-in QQ music, iQiyi, Himalayan FM and other entertainment video software, one account to achieve interconnection.
Based on the in-car camera, in the coming 2020, Weimar plans to update a new feature of the OTA. At that time, the owner will be able to realize face wake-up, full-time fatigue monitoring and other functions through face recognition, and leave an Easter egg. Vehicle social software-“Wei Mi”.
As for how to play this software, we will talk about it after the actual measurement.
In general, the logic of Weimar Living Engine 2.0 system is relatively clear, and it is not complicated to get started. The system will mainly recommend through the bubble UI according to your frequency of use, the more you use, the bigger the bubble.
In conclusion, from the perspective of book parameters, it is difficult for me to find the fundamental difference between EX6 Plus and EX5. Except for the difference in size, the core components are almost the same. This new car is more like a modified version of the EX5. If you are not sensitive to space, the cost of starting the EX5 will be lower and the battery life will be slightly better.
Of course, the above conclusions are based on static. Exactly how the dynamic quality of the EX6 Plus remains to be tested, this part of the product power is still difficult to say.
Back to the question of title, do you think that EX6 Plus’s strength is enough to “talk and laugh” with Tesla of Musk?
