Chery Wujie Pro

Let me share my car - buying process and driving experience of the Wujie Pro.

1. Appearance impression: The appearance of the Wujie Pro is very "trendy". It gives me a strong sense of a mech, which is the type that boys like, as shown in the picture. As someone who loves science - fiction elements, I'd give the appearance a score of 5. It's exactly the kind I like. Maybe it's not the style that most girls prefer, as shown in Figures 1 - 4.

2. Car - buying process: For me, this is the second car in my family. My purpose of buying a car is for commuting to work and saving costs (taking a taxi is too expensive, and my husband uses the fuel - powered car). When buying the car, I test - drove the Wuling Mini EV, the Ice Cream, and the Ant. The Wuling Mini and the Ice Cream are more affordable in price. However, when I test - drove them, I felt like I was driving toy cars. It's not that the cars are bad; it's just that they're different from what I think a car should be like, kind of like toy cars (purely personal opinion, please don't spray if you don't like it). But their prices are very competitive. I was really impressed when test - driving the Ant. The car drove very steadily. I was quite torn at that time. The Ant is almost twice as expensive as the previous two models. It just feels more like what I think a car should be, but I didn't think it was worth the price. Later, I looked at the Wujie Pro. Apart from its appearance advantage, its configuration is a big plus. Additionally, what satisfied me the most was the whole - vehicle warranty of the Wujie. This was the main reason for me to make the decision. If the battery fails to meet the specified range requirements, it can be replaced for free.

3. Driving experience
1) After driving, I like the intelligent configuration of the Wujie Pro the most:
a. It has a Bluetooth key function. After purchasing the authorization, you can unlock the car through the mobile app. For people who are often forgetful, the Bluetooth key is very practical. As long as you bring your phone, you can drive the car. It doesn't matter if there are no pockets on your clothes to hold the key. Also, if you forget to lock the car when getting off, you can remotely lock it through the mobile app. Recently, it's been cold. You can turn on the air - conditioner in advance through the app before going downstairs, and it'll be warm when you get in the car. There are also other control functions as shown in the picture.

b. The intelligent QQ. Most functions in the car can be controlled through QQ. For example, you can turn on the music, start the defogger, set the navigation, and adjust the air - conditioner temperature. This function may not be a big plus for boys, but for girls with average driving skills, this function is simply invincible. With this function, I just need to control the steering wheel. I can just call QQ whenever I want to do something, and adjust the in - car temperature, music, and navigation at any time. I don't have to rush to rummage through the car's control panel to adjust various functions while driving, which greatly reduces the anxiety during driving.

c. Intelligent control of functions. The headlights of the Wujie Pro are intelligently controlled. You don't have to worry about switching the lights when driving. You also don't need to turn the lights on or off when going to the parking lot. Additionally, there's an intelligent control feature that's a big plus. When the vehicle speed drops to 0, it'll automatically shift to the P gear after 1 second. You can start the car by gently pressing the accelerator. With this function, you'll never have to worry about the car rolling back!

2) Of course, there are also some drawbacks. It's the battery. When it was cold some time ago, the range dropped significantly. However, this is a problem that all current electric cars can't solve. Compared with the cost of driving a fuel - powered car, the price advantage makes me accept this shortcoming. Also, the Wujie Pro has both fast - charging and slow - charging ports, which is quite convenient. I've only used the slow - charging port so far and haven't tried the fast - charging yet. I'll post an update after using it later.

3) Riding experience: The Wujie Pro is somewhat like a mini - version of an SUV. Its chassis is slightly higher than that of a regular sedan. The driver's seat is higher than normal, so the view is great. Since the car is relatively short, it's easy to park. It can easily fit into smaller parking spaces. The seats in the car are a bit hard and not suitable for long - term sitting. But with a range of 301 kilometers, there probably won't be many opportunities for long - term rides. With a 301 - kilometer range, there's no pressure for commuting to work and traveling around the neighborhood.

The exterior integrates some classic designs of Han and Yungli Ant. The overall shape is round and plump. The front headlights are highly recognizable. The T-shape is inspired by ancient battle-axes and is paired with a honeycomb grille decoration, making the front of the car look very high-quality.
The side of the car body features a two-door design. It incorporates the currently popular hidden door handles, and the side skirts are in a different color from the car body. Combined with the two-tone body and 16-inch whirlwind-style rims, it creates a good sense of sportiness. As for the rear of the car, it echoes the front. The taillights also have a T-shape, and the lower surround also has a two-tone design.
The length, width, and height are 3402/1680/1550 millimeters respectively, with a wheelbase of 2160 millimeters. It's a model with relatively large dimensions in its class.
The interior adopts the minimalist design commonly used in pure electric vehicles. It uses a large amount of two-tone soft materials for wrapping. There's also a two-spoke multi-functional steering wheel with a gear-by-wire shift system and wireless charging. The two front seats are also rare integrated sports seats in this class.
It is equipped with a full LCD instrument panel and a 12.9-inch floating central control screen. This huge central control screen has a resolution of up to 1080P and is equipped with the third-generation Qualcomm 6155 chip, so both clarity and smoothness are guaranteed.
Regarding specific digital functions, the Wujie Pro supports the Tencent AI intelligent voice system, in-car WeChat, Huawei HiCar, as well as 10 driving assistance functions such as 540¡ã panoramic imaging, forward collision warning, and door opening warning. Its functions are relatively comprehensive at the same price point.

After putting the temporary license plate on the Wujie, I drove out of the store's parking lot, weaving through the small Ants one by one, and officially hit the road. Since I had experienced the driving quality of the Ant many times before, I was full of confidence in the dynamic performance of the Wujie. I stepped on the accelerator hard, but there was no expected strong sense of pushing back. The acceleration was very linear and continuous overall. Mixing excitement with joy, the dynamic experience of the whole vehicle completely exceeded my expectations. The sound insulation and shock absorption were much better than those of the same - class cars I had driven. While driving, I studied the use of different functions and switched between different driving modes. It wasn't until I got on the highway that I dared to step on the accelerator hard. The instrument showed a maximum speed of 132 km/h. Although it didn't reach the expected 140 km/h that a 70 - kW motor should offer, I couldn't believe it could steadily maintain a speed of 130 km/h. It's hard to imagine that a small car only 3.4 meters long and weighing just over a ton could have such good performance. It felt like a Bing Dwen Dwen on ice skates overtaking big cars one by one on the fast lane. The maximum speed for cruise control was only 120 km/h. If I wanted a higher speed, I had to step on the accelerator all the way down. The magical dopamine kept me extremely excited. Even though I could only listen to half of a song because I didn't have a membership after driving 500 kilometers non - stop, I didn't feel irritated at all. I charged the car twice at the service areas on the way. It was already late at night when I got home safely, but I didn't feel tired at all. Instead, I wasn't sleepy at all. The charging performance of the Wujie also exceeded my expectations. It didn't reduce the charging power because I needed heat dissipation after a long - distance drive.
After getting the car, it happened to be the National Day holiday, so I had to postpone getting the license plate until after the holiday. During the National Day, there were all kinds of daily chores and wedding banquets of relatives and friends. Since I didn't have a license plate, it was inconvenient to go in and out. I used the Wujie and my Wuling Mini alternately. At that time, it was a complete case of "using a sledgehammer to crack a nut". People are so strange, always loving the new and hating the old. It's easy to move from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury to frugality. After driving the Wujie and then getting back into the Mini, everywhere seemed noisy; when switching from the Mini back to the Wujie, it was like putting on noise - canceling headphones. After the National Day holiday, I began to have an in - depth experience of every function of the Wujie. Although I was full of confidence in the dynamic experience of the Wujie, I had no idea about its software aspect. After all, this was Chery's first model that integrated all interactions on the large screen. It was inevitable that there would be some flaws in the initial product, so I was very tolerant of it. Sure enough, the Wujie didn't let my tolerance down: there were many areas that needed improvement in the in - car system's interaction design, the use of some functions, and the operation logic. For this reason, Chery specially set up a service group for me. I reported all kinds of problems I encountered during use in the group every day, and they recorded them one by one. Engineers in charge of different modules helped me solve the problems. For me, as long as there were no hardware defects, all problems that could be solved at the software level were not problems. Since I'm willing to explore new things, I'm honored to be a guinea pig. Since I'm enjoying the benefits of early experience, I must also pay the corresponding "price". Everything is like this.
One day before the temporary license plate expired, I went to the vehicle management office to go through the formalities for getting the license plate. I randomly selected one from 50 license plates. A familiar yet strange string of numbers caught my attention: 20381. It took me a long time to realize that these were the last five digits of my QQ number. After comparing the remaining 49, none of them satisfied me, so I finally settled on it. After getting the license plate, I started to have the car window tinted, buy floor mats and all kinds of accessories, and life gradually returned to normal. The Wujie is slowly changing my car - using habits and also affecting my children's habits. I don't have to worry about range anxiety anymore, and I don't have to be bothered by frequent daily charging. I'm more courageous to go to farther places and create more possibilities.
