When it comes to Tengshi, everyone’s first reaction may be the ignorant car that first entered the electric vehicle market a few years ago. Actually, it is not. Under the increasingly strong electrification situation, Tengshi has already begun to thrive. Now, Tengshi has become a brand with diversified products, especially the newly released medium and large MPV Tengshi D9 in recent years, which represents the cutting-edge technology and design concept of Tengshi brand. So back to daily life, what is its practical performance? This issue of "Daily Practical Test Report" reveals the answer for family users who are waiting for money and want to enjoy a high-quality travel experience.
Test vehicle: 2022 Tengshi D9 EV 600 four-wheel drive flagship.
Official guide price: 465,800 yuan
I. Functional configuration test link
Although this test is a pure electric version of Tengshi D9, it is still equipped with a one-button start button like a fuel vehicle, which is located behind the electronic gear lever and marked with a Chinese logo, making the operation intuitive and convenient. The vehicle is equipped with the keyless unlocking function of the whole vehicle. You can carry the vehicle key at any door and press the button on the door handle to unlock it.
This Tengshi D9 trunk opening mode supports the keys inside and outside the car and the remote control key to open, and the trunk can also be closed with one key in the car, which is very convenient for daily use. After the trunk is opened, the height of the top is 1.83m from the ground, and the height is moderate. In addition, it also supports the height memory function of the trunk lid, which is convenient for users of different heights.
The opening switch of the engine room cover of the test vehicle is located at the lower left of the front part of the driver’s seat. When opening, you need to pull the switch inside the vehicle (twice), and then lift the front end of the engine room cover from outside the vehicle. Tengshi D9 engine room cover is supported by hydraulic tappets on both sides, which has strong stability, can be easily lifted and closed, and is convenient to operate.
For consumers, the height of the threshold from the ground determines the convenience of getting on and off to a certain extent. According to the measured results, the minimum height of the threshold from the ground is only 395mm, which is at the upstream level of the same class, so it is more convenient for drivers and passengers to get on and off the bus every day.
Second, the comfort configuration test link
In terms of seats, the main driver’s seat of the test model supports three-speed seat memory, while the two seats in the second row have two-speed memory functions, and the rest of the seats have no seat memory function. The front and second rows of seats in the new car are equipped with ventilation and heating functions, while the third row of seats has no heating and ventilation function. In addition, the second row of seats is equipped with electric leg rest, which is quite comfortable.
In the test of the main driver’s seat, the distance between the front end and the rear end of Tengshi D9′ s driver’s seat is 280mm, which is at the middle and upstream level of the same class. The adjustable stroke of the seat is relatively wide, which can meet the needs of drivers of different sizes.
The multifunctional steering wheel supports manual up and down+front and rear adjustment. According to the actual measurement, the front and rear stretching distance of the steering wheel is 40mm, which is at the average level of the same level. The up-and-down adjustable angle is only 10.5, which is lower than the average level of the same level and the adjustable range is small.
Tengshi D9 adopts a 7-seat layout of 2+2+3. Each seat in the back row is equipped with a headrest, and the padding is soft, so the headrest is comfortable. Unfortunately, the headrest in the third row is less comfortable than that in the second row.
Tengshi D9 front row central armrest has a large area, and the surface is wrapped in soft leather, which has a good touch. The central armrest does not support forward and backward movement and angle adjustment, but when the driver is sitting normally, the elbow can rest on it, which is more comfortable.
Third, the multimedia configuration test link
In terms of on-board USB interface and on-board power supply, the measured vehicle is equipped with five Type-A interfaces and one Type-C interface (one Type-A interface and one Type-C interface in the front row, two Type-A interfaces in the second row and two Type-A interfaces in the third row). Basically, each passenger can use a separate charging interface to replenish energy.
In addition, we also tested the voltage and current of the USB interface. The current of the Type-C interface in the front row can reach about 1.44A, and the charging power exceeds 10W. In addition, the charging power of all Type-A interfaces is around 12W, which basically meets the needs of daily use. In addition, the front row of the test drive car is equipped with a 12V power supply, and the trunk is equipped with a 220V power supply separately, so the expansion ability is quite satisfactory.
With the increasing popularity of smart cars, more and more models are equipped with intelligent voice assistants. For the "intelligent voice system", we judge the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of voice recognition rate, response speed and controllable functions through the following four segments of fixed speech.
1. I’m a little cold/I’m a little hot
2. Open the window/main driving window/sunroof.
3. I want to listen to "XXXX" (the name of the song)
I’m going to Lunyang Building.
After actual measurement, Tengshi D9′ s intelligent voice system can recognize and operate all the above functions except "I’m a little cold/I’m a little hot", which can replace the driver to complete some basic functions in the car. This voice system not only supports continuous conversation, but also can finish all the commands in a short time. In addition, giving instructions in the second row of the vehicle can also be accurately identified, such as opening and closing the second row of windows, which requires accurate audio source positioning without pressure, and has excellent practicability.
Fourth, the space configuration test link
As a space test closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "High-end Travel New Experience Test Drive 2022 Tengshi D9 EV", we have already experienced its space, and this time, we will evaluate the convenience of contacting the same amount of storage space in our daily life.
For the test of the space used in the car, it is only for the space within reach of the front row, excluding the space that needs to be opened such as the glove box and the central armrest box. The test method is to put all the following fixed items in each storage space in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space through the placement of the fixed items. The fixed items selected for the test are: 2 bottles of mineral water with normal size, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 satchel, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella and 1 pack of paper with normal size.
According to the actual measurement, all the fixed objects can be placed in the storage slots in front of Tengshi D9 reasonably. It is worth mentioning that the lower part of the auxiliary instrument platform has been hollowed out, leaving a large storage space, and there is no pressure to place large items such as shoulder bags and paper towels. Tengshi D9 is equipped with a separate glasses case at the top of the front row, and the inside of the glasses case is flocked, which can effectively avoid scratching the lenses due to collision during driving.
Tengshi D9 trunk has a large opening area, prominent vertical height and regular interior, which is very suitable for placing some large items. In addition, the third row of seats also supports a 4/6 ratio, which can further expand the storage space and has excellent practicality. We also measured the basic value of Tengshi D9 trunk, and the opening length was 1210mm；; The opening width is 1260mm；; The depth of trunk is 555mm；; The vertical height between the trunk platform and the inner roof is 1100mm.
V. Safety Configuration Testing Link
In the front and rear vision test of the vehicle, all the seats in the vehicle have been adjusted to the lowest state, and the measured data have some deviations from those when the driver is in normal use, which is for reference only.
In the test of the front field of vision, we use the pile bucket with a height of 70cm as a reference, and then adjust the distance between cars until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be seen in the main driving position. After testing, the final measured data of the pile bucket and the front of the car is 2.2m, which is at the upstream level among the tested cars of the same class, and the front of the car has a wide field of vision.
In the rear visual field test, the pile bucket is still fixed, and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be observed. The distance measured by the rear visual field is 26.1m, which is at the downstream level in the same class of tested vehicles, and the blind area is large.
When testing the visual range of the exterior rearview mirror, firstly, let the tester stand at 10m vertical to the left and right rearview mirrors respectively, and then start to move to the left and right sides until it appears at the outermost edges of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure the lateral distance. Then, through formula calculation, the included angle of the rearview mirror field of view can be obtained. The larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of the rearview mirror, and the larger the blind area of the rearview mirror.
Tengshi D9′ s left and right exterior rearview mirrors are all ordinary lenses. According to the actual measurement, the left visual field is 20.8 and the right visual field is 17.7, which are at the downstream level among the tested vehicles of the same class, and the visual field blind area is large.
During the test, the rear parking radar can sense the rear objects at 1.1m, and the radar power performance is excellent. Referring to the previous test experience, the closer the continuous buzzer stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily use habits. According to the measured data, the distance of continuous beeping of Tengshi D9 is 0.25m, which is consistent with the empirical value. The front parking radar can sense the front object at the farthest distance of 1.2m, and the power performance of the front radar is worthy of recognition. The longest distance during the continuous buzzer phase is 0.25m, which is also consistent with the test experience and conforms to the daily use habits.
Tengshi D9 is equipped with 360-degree panoramic image+transparent chassis function, which can visually observe the vehicle’s location, front and rear, and the surrounding scenes within the scope of both sides. At the same time, it also has a reversing auxiliary line, which is convenient for daily parking. In addition, the image clarity and lens distortion control can be satisfactory and practical, but due to the huge volume of the car body, we still need to be cautious about some narrow parking spaces and roads.
In daily use, vehicles often turn or turn around. At this time, the steering flexibility of vehicles is very important. Knowing the width of the road needed for the car to turn around in the same place can help you know fairly well, so as to avoid the occurrence of dangerous situations such as rubbing. According to the actual measurement, the minimum pavement width of Tengshi D9 in-situ U-turn is 11.3m, which is at the middle and lower reaches of the same level. Pay attention to leaving allowance in advance when making daily U-turn.
Handle in the car is necessary for people with mobility difficulties, and it can also play a certain auxiliary role for passengers’ riding safety on bumpy roads. Tengshi D9 is equipped with handles above other doors except the door handle above the main driver’s seat, which pays great attention to the convenience of passengers getting on and off in the car.
Sixth, endurance test
In the actual road test, the endurance of the test vehicle before starting is 158km, and then the air conditioner is set to 24 degrees warm air, the air volume is automatic, the driving mode is ECO, and energy recovery is the standard. In terms of driving route, it passes through the urban ring road, in which the proportion of congested sections is 95%, and the average speed of the whole journey is about 45 km/h. When arriving at the destination, the cruising range displayed on the meter is 138km, and the actual mileage of the vehicle is 14km. The cruising range displayed on the meter is reduced by 20km, that is, the cruising range consumed per 1km on average is about 1.4km.
In addition, we also tested the charging efficiency of Tengshi D9. It was measured that it took 12 minutes to charge the battery from 16% to 26% by using Xiaoju charging (brand) charging pile (rated power of 60kW) in the basement of shopping malls, and the charging speed was acceptable, and the cruising range increased by 62km.
Summary:As a medium and large MPV model of Tengshi brand, Tengshi D9 has outstanding product strength, and it has quite good performance in functionality, comfort and space configuration when it comes to practical performance. From the above tests, it is not difficult to see that the view of the right exterior rearview mirror and the view of the interior rearview mirror of the new car are not ideal, and there is also room for optimization of the minimum road width data of the in-situ U-turn, which will affect the practicality to a certain extent, but they are not serious injuries. There is no perfect product in the world. Only by constantly improving and making progress can we truly satisfy those audiences who pursue perfection.
