SAIC-GM Buick E4

Exterior & Space: The exterior looks really cool, and the interior space is quite large. The interior decoration and seats are also very comfortable. The double-layer glass on the roof has excellent heat insulation. When it's 32 degrees in the morning, the car isn't too hot even at nine o'clock. Turning on the air conditioner for a short while can quickly cool it down, and the seat ventilation is really comfortable. You won't feel sticky when sitting on the seats in summer.

Range: The advertised range is 530 kilometers. In my actual driving experience (including setting the air conditioner at 25 degrees and playing music at a high volume), I can drive about 420 kilometers on a single charge. The vehicle has kinetic energy recovery, and the energy consumption is even lower under adaptive cruise control. If I drive it myself, I estimate it can run for 18 - 20K kilometers. With adaptive cruise control, it can reach 13 - 15K kilometers. It performs really well!

User Experience: At the beginning of using the car, I didn't find it very easy to handle. Later, I realized that many functions hadn't been activated. After activation, they are all very convenient. When you approach the car to about two meters, the welcome light mode will be triggered, and you can enter the car without feeling the process. The key is also very sensitive. Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the car. For a C - class car at this price, with lifetime warranty and the really useful OnStar system, it's definitely worth the money.

The exterior is a matter of personal preference, and for me, it gets a full score. The interior is just okay. After all, a major joint-venture manufacturer has its standards and also shows some design sense. Generally speaking, it's actually not bad, but the materials used in my previous car were better than those in this one. I feel like I've had a downgrade in consumption ??????. In terms of configuration, this mid-sized pure-electric SUV at this price point performs reasonably well. Of course, it would be even better if it had more practical features like seat ventilation and a streaming media rearview mirror. In terms of space, Buick has never had an edge in its class. Coupled with the fastback design, it really can't compare with mid-sized cars in the same class like the ID6, Song L, and Haishi 07. However, the size data doesn't lie. It's still much better than compact cars like the ID4 at the same price.

Appearance is indeed a matter of personal preference. In my opinion, except for a certain angle from the front which is really hard to describe, it looks amazing from other angles. It can be said to have a 350¡ã flawless view, and the remaining 10¡ã are all the flawed angles. When it comes to electric cars, it's easy to associate with the electric sparks flashing at your fingertips. Then I have to mention my unchanging belief in this life. The GS version of the interior is not available for selection. Generally speaking, it's okay, but the black - and - white stripes on the IP trim panel are a bit obtrusive. The seats are also quite comfortable. If the driver's seat had lumbar support adjustment, the seats could basically get a full score. It's a pity that the GS version doesn't have it. In addition, due to this height, the roof can only have a large glass. In summer, I installed a roof trim to get through. However, I didn't buy the original one but a static - resistant one. I'm afraid it'll be hard to remove. I'm a bit hesitant whether to remove it in autumn and winter.

In terms of space, I think choosing the E4 instead of the E5 means compromising space for the sake of appearance. Under this major premise, I basically accept this space. Especially, the trunk is definitely smaller than that of the E5. Fortunately, usually only two people ride in the car. If necessary, the rear seats can be folded down, which is still enough.

As for the assisted driving, it basically meets the needs. The only thing to complain about is that the lane - centering function only supports speeds up to 85 km/h. If it could support up to 115 km/h, or even 110 km/h, it could basically meet the needs on the highway. At 85 km/h, it can only be used on urban elevated roads. But on urban elevated roads, unless there is little traffic, who would use it? This positioning is quite awkward.

Regarding the intelligent cockpit... Well, choosing a no - name electric car means choosing to give up. However, compared with early users, the current version 3.2 is relatively stable. It hasn't gone black after driving 3000 kilometers, which is good enough. Baidu Maps can only be said to meet the basic needs. You can send the destination from your phone, but it can't send the planned waypoints like Gaode Maps, and there are no traffic lights. Also, when will the app support Bilibili? Is there any hope in my lifetime? Since it supports CarPlay, I used a car - machine box. However, for this non - rectangular screen, the support of third - party boxes... Well...

Objectively speaking, the battery life is quite good. After all, the CLTC - rated range is just for reference. The actual display on the car's computer is relatively accurate. When I got the car, it showed 432 km. It should be no problem to run 400 km in the city. When cruising at 115 km/h on the highway, with the actual speed ranging from 80 to 115 km/h, the range should be about 350 km. It seems quite realistic. Since I have a home charger, I basically use slow charging at home. I haven't experienced the so - called inaccurate fast charging. Overall, it meets my expectations and I'm quite satisfied.
