My husband and I really love taking our kids around to have fun and join in the excitement. We already have a fuel-powered car at home, so we had the idea of buying a new energy vehicle, as charging is more cost-effective. At first, I wanted a smaller car because I thought it would be easier to drive and park. So, I started looking at cars in the summer - I checked out the Bingo and the Seagull. The Seagull was the first to be ruled out because its dashboard was really tiny, only as big as a phone. My husband liked the appearance of the Bingo, but I didn't like its interior, and it didn't meet the national subsidy criteria, so we put it aside for the time being. Later, we looked at the Xingyuan, but the waiting time was too long and the production volume was too low, so we didn't consider it either. The Aion RT caught my husband's eye by chance while he was scrolling through his phone. At first, I was a bit hesitant because I thought the car was a bit too big and I was afraid I couldn't handle it. Later, I learned that it had a 360-degree all-round vehicle image, so I didn't have to worry about parking or driving difficulties. It also had a sunroof that my husband liked and seat heating that I liked. More importantly, we both liked the looks of the RT, so we immediately decided on it. However, the national subsidy policy for 2025 hadn't been announced yet, and we weren't in a hurry to get a car, so we just kept an eye on it. At the same time, we also compared it with the XPeng M03. After a series of research, we found that the XPeng was inferior to the RT in terms of both the battery and the workmanship and materials. Actually, the most important things in a new energy vehicle are the battery and the motor. The RT is powered by a CATL battery, and its motor uses Japanese technology, so we decisively chose the RT. Later, at the end of the year, my husband happened to be on vacation, and the national subsidy policy had also come out. On the first day of his vacation, we went to the dealership for a test drive. After calculating the price and the policy, we applied for an installment - plan payment the next morning and drove the car home in the afternoon. At first, my husband drove it. It felt very stable and quiet to me. I really liked the seat heating. I didn't need to turn on the air - conditioner to keep warm on cold days, and it also supported keyless unlocking and driving. The interior space was quite large, and the field of vision was wide. The urban range achievement rate was really good. Later, I gradually got the hang of driving it. The steering wheel was quite light. There was a braking feeling when I released the accelerator. In other aspects, it was not much different from a fuel - powered car, and it was really cost - effective to use electricity. After I got the car, I charged it for the first time after half a month of driving, and there was still 10% of the battery left. It took ten hours to fully charge, which was just enough time for a good night's sleep. Compared with cars in the same price range, its configuration is really decent.
