1. functional configuration testing link

the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 is equipped with a keyless entry function. bringing the remote control key close to the vehicle will automatically unlock it, and the door handle will automatically pop up. in addition, when you leave the car with the remote control key, it will automatically lock, which is very convenient.

the trunk tailgate of the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 supports multiple opening methods such as remote control key, exterior buttons, in-car voice, in-car touch screen and smart sensor opening. it is simple and convenient to operate while ensuring practicality.

the switch position of the cabin cover is located on the lower left side of the front of the driver's seat. to open it, you need to pull the switch twice, and then lift the cabin cover smoothly. during the operation, since the cabin cover uses a manual single-sided support rod and the cabin cover is heavy, it is laborious to open and close.

for consumers, the level of the threshold determines the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle to a certain extent. according to actual measurement results, the sill height of the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 from the ground is 440mm, which is at the middle and lower levels of the same level, making it more convenient for drivers and passengers to get in and out of the car on a daily basis.

2. comfort configuration test link

the main and passenger seats of the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 support electric adjustment, and the front seats also provide heating and ventilation functions. however, they are not equipped with a massage function, and there is room for improvement in riding comfort. in addition, the front seats of the review car also provide three sets of memory functions, which are very convenient.

in the main driver's seat test, the distance between the front and end of the evaluation car's main driver's seat was 250mm, which is in the middle of the same class and can basically satisfy most drivers.

the multi-function steering wheel supports manual up and down + front and rear adjustment. according to actual measurements, the front and rear adjustable distance of the steering wheel is 40mm, which is at the lower level among tested models of the same level. the up and down adjustable angle is 8.4°, which is at the middle and lower level of the same level.

the rear seats of the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 provide three headrests, but the middle position headrest does not support adjustment and is positioned lower. at the same time, the filling and backrest hardness of the headrest are higher than those on both sides, which is more comfortable for the middle passenger. it will have a certain impact.

the front center armrest is large in area and wrapped in soft leather, making it comfortable to touch. although the center armrest does not support forward and backward movement or angle adjustment, it can provide effective support for the driver's elbow during driving.

3. multimedia configuration test link

in terms of usb charging interfaces in the car, the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 is equipped with a total of 3 usb charging interfaces. the front row is equipped with 1 type-a interface and 1 type-c interface, and the rear row is equipped with 1 type-a interface and 1 type-c interface in the middle of the air conditioning outlet. a type-c interface. due to the small number of charging ports in the whole car, the practicality is quite satisfactory.

in addition, we tested the voltage and current of the charging interface. the voltage and current of the front type-c charging interface were 9.02v and 1.26a respectively; the voltage and current of the rear type-c charging interface were 5.06v and 2.02a respectively. .

as smart cars become more and more popular nowadays, more and more models are equipped with smart voice assistants. for the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed phrases to evaluate the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of speech recognition rate, response speed, and controllable functions.

1. i’m a little cold/i’m a little hot

2. open the car window/open the main driving window/open the sunroof

3. i want to listen to "xxxx" (song name)

4. i’m going to beijing edition building

after actual testing, after saying "i'm a little cold" and "i'm a little hot", the intelligent voice interaction system of the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 can quickly recognize the command, but it will not automatically adjust the air conditioning temperature. it can only be more precise. only when the air conditioning temperature you want to adjust is found, the car machine will perform relevant operations. for the rest of the commands, except that opening the sunroof (all models are equipped with a panoramic sunroof that cannot be opened), all related functions can be recognized and operated. in addition, the evaluation car also supports functions such as continuous voice recognition, speaking when visible, and voice-free wake-up words, which is very convenient for daily use.

the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 is equipped with a mobile phone wireless charging pad in front of the front center armrest near the driver's side, with a charging power of 50w and equipped with cooling vents. in addition, the wireless charging function of mobile phones can be turned on and off through the central control screen or voice, which is very convenient.

4. space configuration test link

as a space test that is closely related to consumers, in the previous test drive article "the new king of pure electric medium-sized cars test drives the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5", we have already experienced its riding space, and this time it will be from daily use the storage space and its convenience, which are often encountered in daily life, will be evaluated.

for the test of the space used in the car, it only focuses on the space within reach of the front row, excluding the glove box, central armrest box and other spaces that need to be opened. the test method is to place all the following fixed items in each storage space in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle's storage space based on the placement of the fixed items. the fixed items selected for the test are: 2 bottles of regular-sized mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 shoulder bag, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella, and 1 pack of regular-sized tissue paper.

the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 has a total of 15 storage spaces (excluding cup holders), and the number is at the mid-to-upper level compared to competing products in the same class. after actual testing, it has been found that except for sunglasses, all the above fixed items have suitable storage spaces for placement, making them more convenient for daily access.

in terms of the trunk, the floor of the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 is fairly flat, but the wheel arches on both sides occupy space, which will have some impact on the placement of large luggage. however, fortunately, there is a groove on each side, and the rear seats can be folded down to expand the storage space.

regarding the basic values ​​of the trunk of the evaluation car, we also conducted actual measurements. the opening length is 590mm; the opening width is 1020mm; the trunk depth is 1020mm; and the vertical height between the trunk floor and the top is 490mm.

5. security configuration testing link

in the front and rear view test of the vehicle, all seats in the vehicle were adjusted to their lowest position. the measured data has some deviations from the driver's normal use and is for reference only.

in the forward field of view test, we used a 70cm-high pile barrel as a reference object, and then adjusted the distance between the vehicles until the upper edge of the pile barrel could be seen from the main driver's seat. after testing, the final measured data of the pile barrel and front end was 1.74m, which was at the upper level among the tested models of the same level.

in the rear view test, the pile bucket was still placed fixedly, and then the vehicle was moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket could be observed. the measured distance of the rear view was 32.2m, which was at the downstream level among the tested models of the same level. since the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 has the high-mounted brake light at the rear of the car in the middle of the bottom of the rear windshield, and the bulge is large, it has a certain impact on the test results.

when testing the field of view of the exterior rearview mirror, first let the tester stand 10m vertically from the left and right rearview mirrors, and then start moving to the left and right sides until they appear at the outermost edges of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure their lateral distance . then through formula calculation, the angle of view of the rearview mirror can be obtained. the larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of ​​the rearview mirror's field of vision, and conversely, the larger the blind area of ​​the rearview mirror's field of view.

the left and right exterior rearview mirrors of the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 use ordinary lenses. the measured field of view of the left and right exterior rearview mirrors is 31.4° and 27° respectively, which is at the upper level among the tested models of the same level. the field of view is the blind area is smaller.

during the test, the reversing radar could sense objects behind it at a distance of 1.5m, and the radar power performance was quite good. based on past test experience, the closer the continuous buzzing stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily usage habits. judging from the actual measurement data, the reversing radar of the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 continuously beeps at a distance of 0.3m, which is far from the test experience value.

the front parking radar can sense objects ahead at a maximum distance of 1m. the radar power performance is relatively good. the continuous beeping distance is 0.25m, which is completely consistent with the test experience value.

the evaluation car is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image, the overall image quality is very clear, and it also provides functions such as a reversing auxiliary line that can follow the steering, a transparent chassis and multi-angle viewing, which can better assist the driver in parking.

in daily use, vehicles often encounter turns or u-turns. at this time, the vehicle's steering flexibility becomes very important. understanding the road width required when your car makes a u-turn can help you avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. after actual testing, the minimum road width for the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 to make a u-turn is 10.7m, which is at the lower level among tested models of the same level.

handles in the car are necessary for people with limited mobility, and they can also play a certain auxiliary role in the safety of passengers on bumpy roads. the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 is not equipped with interior handles above the four doors, which makes it poor in practicality.

6. charging test

in the actual test, the driving route was highway + urban expressway, comfort mode, air-conditioning first gear at 22°c, the meter showed a driving distance of 11km, and the battery life was reduced by 15km, that is, the average battery life consumed per 1km of driving was about 1.36km.

we also tested the charging efficiency. after 10 minutes of charging using a fast charging pile (peak power consumption), the battery was charged from 9% to 15%, and the cruising range was increased by 41km, which is basically consistent with the time estimated by the vehicle computer.

summarize:

through this practical test, the 2024 extreme fox alpha s5 performed well in terms of door unlocking, trunk opening method, left/right exterior rearview mirror field of view, etc. of course, there are obvious areas for improvement in the car, such as the use of a manual single-sided support rod for the hood, the minimum road width for a u-turn on the spot is too large, and the entire car is not equipped with an interior handle. taken together, the practical performance of the jifox alpha s5 is still satisfactory. consumers who are considering purchasing a pure electric medium-sized car in the near future can focus on it.
