HYCAN Z03

Of course, the first impression is the appearance. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I think the front and side views of the Z03 are very nice, and the light language of the headlights when unlocking is also really cool. Although the car body looks a bit small from the back, it's not ugly. It has a better appearance than the Aion Y of the same model. I think the exterior is beautiful and the interior is quite premium. I chose the ink - blue interior because it's relatively stain - resistant. The seats have good wrapping. They come with heating and ventilation functions, and it's quite comfortable to sit on them. However, my wife doesn't find it very comfortable. She feels that the support for the waist and neck is relatively insufficient, so she bought a back cushion and a headrest. I don't know if it's due to the difference in body shape. I just switched from a fuel - powered car to an electric one. I especially like the two screens, the driving screen and the central control screen. The driving screen displays a lot of information. When approaching the destination, the navigation will show a small checkered flag. The central control screen is 14 inches, which is very convenient for viewing the navigation, watching videos, listening to music and reading the lyrics. Coupled with the seats that can be laid flat at 180¡ã, you can stretch out your legs and lie flat, which is very convenient and comfortable for a short nap. This is my first time buying an electric car. I find that electric cars accelerate quickly, and the rear - seat space is very large. You can cross your legs, and the riding comfort is high. The car doors can almost open to nearly 90 degrees, making it very convenient to get in and out. However, the large rear - seat space has relatively sacrificed some trunk size, so it's not very easy to place long items. In addition, the sound insulation of this car is average, the suspension is a bit stiff, and the trunk is small. These are all its drawbacks. In terms of range, the range of electric cars is always less than the claimed value, and I can understand that. Driving on the highway and using the heater in winter are both very power - consuming. I have the 510 - kilometer range version. In the city with the single - pedal mode on, it can basically reach 400 kilometers, which can't achieve the 1:1 range that some experts claim. If you use the heater in winter and drive on the highway, the range may be only half of the claimed value. To be honest. Generally speaking, I think the cost - performance ratio of Hechuang is okay. Although Hechuang is currently having operational problems, lacks a perfect after - sales service system, and may even face bankruptcy, I still hope that Hechuang can overcome this difficulty and continue to develop, because after all, this is my first electric car, and I have deep feelings for it.

The Hozon brand is still a bit unfamiliar to me. Everyone knows its relationship with GAC, but I've never had the chance to experience a Hozon car. This time, I had the opportunity to drive the Z03 for a few days. I felt that in some aspects, it's similar to Aion, while in other aspects, it has Hozon's own style.
¡¾Most Satisfied¡¿The first thing that satisfies me about the Hozon Z03 is the space. It's a small car just over 4.6 meters long, but the rear - seat space is really large. Even when it's full, it doesn't feel crowded. Moreover, you can remove the headrests of the front seats and lay them flat, then you can lie in the back row. The second thing that satisfies me is the design. Although it's based on the Aion Y, there are relatively big differences in the appearance, especially the front face. It looks quite cool. The third point is the workmanship and materials, especially inside the car. It's obviously a bit better and more delicate than the Aion Y.
¡¾Least Satisfied¡¿The thing that dissatisfies me most about this car is the range. The official CLTC range of the version I drove is 620 kilometers. We all know that the CLTC standard is unreliable, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. Moreover, the power consumption of this car is really high. I've just been driving in the city these days without going on the highway, and the power consumption shown on the meter has reached more than 20 kWh. I don't think a small car like this should have such high power consumption. Anyway, the false range is exactly the same as that of the Aion. There aren't other particularly dissatisfying aspects.
¡¾Driving Experience¡¿There isn't much to say about the driving experience of this car. It has the style of an ordinary household electric vehicle. The acceleration is smooth and fast, but not as fast as those pure - electric performance cars. I don't really like the feel of the steering. It has a false sense of heaviness, which doesn't match the overall character of the car. The performance of the chassis is just average. It meets the standard of a household electric vehicle worth more than 100,000 yuan. There's no sense of luxury, but it's not particularly bad either.
¡¾Riding Experience¡¿When the car is stationary, sitting in the back row, you can feel that the whole car is quite spacious. The wheelbase of 2750mm isn't particularly long, but remember that the whole car is just over 4.6 meters long, so it's already quite good. When driving on the road, sitting in the back row, you'll feel a bit bumpy. Maybe it's also a problem with the tuning of the torsion - beam rear suspension. Many French cars also use torsion - beam rear suspensions, but they don't feel this bumpy.

The Hechuang Z03 has always had a low profile. However, after experiencing it for a few days, I feel that it's actually a decent family car.
[Most Satisfied] The biggest highlight of this car is its space. With a wheelbase of 2,750mm, it's not extremely long, but the actual space performance is quite good. Especially the rear - seat space, and the entire floor is basically flat. The legroom is quite spacious when sitting. Another aspect is the design. I think the overall exterior design is quite youthful and dynamic. It looks more stylish compared to the Aion Y.
[Driving Experience] This car drives very smoothly. Its acceleration ability is also not bad. However, its power level can't be considered strong. With a maximum power of 218 horsepower and a maximum torque of 225 N¡¤m, it's just at the level of an average pure - electric family car. It's hard to get a thrilling feeling. The steering feel is significantly heavy, which doesn't seem very friendly for daily driving.
[Riding Experience] The rear - seat space of this car is very large, and it's quite spacious to sit in. However, the seats are a bit hard, and the chassis is also a bit stiff. There are quite a lot of small vibrations, so it's not extremely comfortable to sit in. Of course, this isn't an SUV that focuses on comfort.
[Endurance] The official CLTC endurance of this version is 620 kilometers. From my actual experience, in the northern winter, driving on urban roads and expressways all the way, the endurance is basically between 350 - 400 kilometers. It's not excellent, just an average level.
[Conclusion] Actually, the Hechuang Z03 isn't particularly outstanding in every aspect, but at the same time, it's not bad either. It's a relatively well - balanced car. If I had to point out the biggest shortcoming, I think it's actually the brand.
