Hozon Auto Nezha S-Hybrid REEV

¡¾Driving Experience¡¿
I'm not well-spoken, but I can say it drives well and is quite comfortable. Some people aren't used to the heads-up display, but I like using it. On highways, the cruise control and navigation are displayed, so I don't have to look down. It would be even more perfect if the large screen could be made rotatable.
¡¾Range¡¿
I haven't paid much attention to the combined range. For now, I'm using it like a gasoline car¡ªonly refueling and rarely charging. If charging is convenient, it's better to charge; it saves money and is better for the battery! When the pure electric range was 100 km and the fuel range was 140 km, I drove about 140 km and still had over 60 km of range left. The combined range capability is still decent.
¡¾Performance¡¿
The acceleration is really fast. If you're interested, you can take your driver's license to a 4S store for a test drive. It doesn't cost anything.
¡¾Riding Experience¡¿
The rear seat space is good. A person 180 cm tall and over 200 jin feels comfortable sitting there. Personally, I feel the front passenger seat isn't as comfortable as the rear seat.

I was originally considering a Magotan when changing cars. Since my monthly fuel cost was over 2,800 yuan in 2023, a friend of mine was planning to switch to a Tesla and suggested I consider electric vehicles. So I started watching car videos on Douyin every day, focusing on the Xpeng P7, Leapmotor 001, BYD Seal, and Changan Deepal. Eventually, I went to physical stores to check out the cars.

I saw the Deepal first; the front look was okay, but the rear styling suddenly felt weird, and I didn't test drive it. Then I went to see the Neta S. I liked its exterior at first sight, and also really liked the interior and the large screen. The salesperson took me to test drive both the pure electric and extended-range versions. I was quite satisfied with the acceleration and steering feel. I was planning to check out the Xpeng store, but it was too far away so I didn't go.

In the evening, the salesperson called and chatted about various things. I said I needed to let my wife see it first, but unexpectedly, the salesperson drove over an hour later to let her test drive. The attitude was really good. Since we hadn't eaten much, they came around 10 PM, and we ended up paying a 5,000 yuan deposit then.

I bought the base model. Considering that electric cars don't hold their value well, the base model is enough for my needs. Now I've driven 18,000 kilometers, and overall it's okay, except the car is too wide¡ªI've had a few scratches. The range is about 300 kilometers in winter and around 450 kilometers in summer.

I bought the Neta S pure electric 520 Lite model, which does not have assisted driving and smart cockpit functions; first of all, its appearance is very high, the mechanical quality is great, the driving experience is good, the audio experience is excellent, the range is 520km, I have driven more than 1,000 kilometers in Chongqing for a month, and the achievement rate is currently 90% to 95%, which is very solid; charging speed, when charging outside, fast charging averages about 4% per minute, slow charging hasn't been tried yet; the infotainment system is smooth but not smart enough, the third-party app store is not open, so only some built-in software can be used, but it's sufficient; the interior space is large, my family members are relatively fat, three people sitting in the back row are not crowded, my friend who is 184cm tall can cross his legs in the back row with a lot of space left from the front row; the trunk space is small, but there is a frunk that can slightly make up for the lack of storage space. If I had another chance to buy a car, I would still choose the Neta S, but I would definitely pay extra for a mid-range configuration.
