Before opening, let’s introduce the meaning of MONA in Tucki-Made of New AI, which literally translates as "Made in New AI". This is very important, because the appearance, interior, chassis design, structural strength and suspension comfort simulation of MONA M03 all run through AI technology. With the powerful empowerment of AI, the whole vehicle can optimize key designs such as aerodynamics, space utilization and internal ergonomics while reducing costs, and also enhance the experience of intelligent driving and intelligent cabin, greatly improving the quality-price ratio. We have experienced the exterior and interior before, and this article mainly talks about how it drives.
Tucki MONA M03 static experience:
My first impression of MONA M03 in Tucki is that this small D-shaped steering wheel is very similar to the small steering wheel of a French car. It feels like driving a large go-kart, and it feels very good. The steering force can be adjusted in three gears. The lightest gear is very friendly to female car owners, and the steering is light, especially when turning around. MONA M03 has a steering ratio of 14.2: 1, and its direction is precise and flexible. It only takes 1.35 turns to fully fill the steering wheel. With a turning radius of 5.3 meters, it only takes 1.5 opposite lanes to realize U-turn. From the actual experience, MONA M03 is very suitable for urban transportation, and it is easy to shuttle between traffic, especially the small steering wheel and sensitive steering response, which makes this A+ class hatchback as "smart" as a small car.
It is worth mentioning that although the MONA M03 is suspended by a rear torsion beam, the adjustment is very French, and the comfort and handling are balanced. This also benefits from the intervention of AI at the beginning of design, the rigidity of torsion beam and the best torsion point. After AI has learned big data, it can find the best solution. From the actual driving experience, when passing through a large undulating road surface, the jump of the rear suspension is suppressed quite well, and there is no unnecessary bounce; When cornering quickly, the rear wheel has excellent follow-up performance and will not drag its feet. On the premise of ensuring comfort, it also has good support, coupled with the compact steering wheel and precise pointing, the whole vehicle has good handling.
Let’s talk about performance again. This test drive is a 620km endurance version. The maximum power of the front single motor is 140kW, the maximum torque is 225N·m, the acceleration per 100 kilometers is 7.4s, and the top speed is 155 km/h. Judging from the actual driving experience, the acceleration performance of this model can fully meet the needs of daily transportation, and this zero-hundred-percent achievement is also at the level of a small steel gun in an oil truck. The performance of high-speed re-acceleration is also excellent, and overtaking is easy.
In addition, the high-profile model is equipped with a motor of 160 kW/250 N m, and its performance will be more fierce. Running fast can be braked, and the shortest braking distance of MONA M03 is only 35.63m. The kerb quality is 1661kg and 1739kg according to different models, which is a lightweight player in electric vehicles and can bring better acceleration and braking performance.
Tucki MONA M03 has three driving modes. Except for the energy-saving mode, the other two modes are not much different, and the dynamic response is positive and full of stamina. In addition, it retains the "single pedal" braking mode, which is very convenient for friends who like this mode. I don’t want to elaborate on the kinetic energy recovery mode. Personally, I prefer the "low" recovery level. When I slide farther, I can return some electricity to increase my battery life, and the ride comfort is better and more comfortable. It is a bit like an oil truck taxiing after releasing the throttle, with some engine braking feeling.
Don’t worry about NVH. Tucki MONA M03 locates young people’s first family car. Since it is for home use, NVH is definitely the key consideration. Thanks to the ultra-low wind resistance of 0.194Cd, there is no obvious wind noise when driving at high speed, and there is no annoying resonance sound when passing through uneven roads. The hatchback design is more difficult for NVH at the tailgate, but there is no obvious noise and resonance sound from the tailgate, which proves that Tucki is still very attentive, and the only thing the whole vehicle can hear is slight tire noise.
The test drive of MONA M03 in Tucki is equipped with a 62.2kWh Ferrous lithium phosphate power battery, and the official cruising range is 620km. On the day of the test drive, the outdoor temperature was 44℃, the air conditioner in the car was set to 21℃ and the wind speed was 4 (it was too hot outside), and the road conditions were mainly urban areas and expressways. Before departure, the power consumption was 87%, and the remaining mileage was 448km. After driving for 110km, the remaining power consumption was 57% and the remaining cruising range was 293km. Roughly, the endurance achievement rate is 70.97%. This test drive style is more radical, and this endurance performance is quite good. Officially declared power consumption per 100 kilometers: 11.5kWh for 18-inch wheel-hub models and 12.3kWh for 19-inch wheel-hub models, both of which are much lower than pure electric vehicles of the same class.
In terms of charging, SOC 30%-80% only takes 26 minutes, fast charging for 15 minutes, and battery life increases by 200km. There is no mileage anxiety when commuting in the city or going out occasionally.
The test drive of MONA M03 in Tucki has L2-level intelligent driving assistance. With 2 millimeter-wave radars +12 ultrasonic radars +7 cameras, it has the strongest perception in its class. It can support basic auxiliary functions such as city/high-speed LCC and ACC adaptive battery life. From the actual experience, L2 has been able to meet the needs of most young users. The lane is very silky when facing long bends, and it is also very soft when following the car automatically, much like an old driver, which can greatly reduce driving fatigue when driving long distances. It must be said that the lane-level 3D perceptual rendering map is very clear, and you can view the intersection information from the perspective of God, so that you won’t get lost again. After the official launch, M03 MAX version will bring pure visual L2+ high-order intelligent driving, and support fast navigation such as automatic lane change and automatic ramp up and down.
Tucki MONA M03 has an interesting function in automatic parking. If there is a limit lever on the ground, it will automatically adjust the direction of the front of the car and automatically park the rear of the car against the limit lever.
Tucki MONA M03 can also identify fishbone parking spaces and broken road parking spaces, which can be perfectly parked automatically. Especially the broken road parking space, I feel that it is older than the old driver. Most importantly, it is faster and safer for beginners to park their own cars.
The cover picture on the official Weibo of MONA, Tucki is these two colors: Xinghanmi and Xingyao Blue, which seems to be the main colors. Yang Guang, the person in charge of MONA series products in Tucki, said in his personal Weibo that the overall design of M03 is low saturation, which is not high-profile but very advanced. Low saturation and bright colors are just right, highlighting the transparent and pure texture of hue. You don’t need to attract everyone’s attention, but you have your own style.
The inspiration of Xinghanmi comes from the warm starlight outside the extreme night of the vast universe. It has a warm and plain texture, which can show different colors under different light sources, and there will be a hint of pink under natural light, which is very elegant. The inspiration of Xingyao Blue comes from the daydream light scattered by the stars. It has the texture of metallic color, and the paint surface is as fine as satin. Through the fusion of high-contrast metallic aluminum powder, it has a good-looking grain texture.
So, which of these two colors do you like?
The appearance of MONA M03 adopts AI-aided design, which creates a low wind resistance of 0.194Cd without affecting the internal space. Low nose, arched body, smooth vehicle lines, etc., there are 15 wind resistance optimization projects, which reduce 102Counts in total and improve the endurance level of 60km+.
The design of MONA M03 in Tucki is quite scientific and technological. The car width of 1896mm and the low front nose create a low-lying movement style, and the headlights have a slightly mech-like look. It is worth mentioning that the fully integrated external active air intake grille (AGS) is adopted under the front lip, which can balance and optimize the wind resistance and electric drive cooling requirements at different speeds, and can intelligently adjust the opening and closing.
The length, width and height of MONA M03 in Tucki are 4780/1896/1445mm and the wheelbase is 2815mm respectively. Only from the data, the length of the car belongs to A+ class, but the wheelbase has passed the threshold of B-class car. The low front cabin, 63.4 front windshield inclination angle and smooth hatchback tail shape make the whole side look elegant and sporty.
18-inch hub
19-inch hub
Two different wheel styles have different cruising range performance. The 18-inch wheel hub adopts a more aerodynamic design, which can effectively reduce the wind resistance by 0.013Cd. According to the size of the battery, the cruising range is 515km/620km, and it uses 215/50 R18 Chaoyang tires. The 19-inch wheel hub is more sporty, with a cruising range of 485km/585km depending on the battery size, and it uses 235/40 R19 Michelin tires. Personally, I prefer 18-inch wheels, after all, I can have more cruising range. It is worth mentioning that Chaoyang Tire is the leader of China brand tires. From the overall feeling, the comfort is very good and the silence is remarkable.
When you come to the tail, the first thing that attracts people’s attention is the taillight group similar to the headlights. The overall tail design is round and full, and a small tail is "pinched", which makes the whole look more dynamic.
The interior design of MONA M03 in Tucki has also been adjusted and optimized by AI, and it looks very simple as a whole. Small steering wheel, no dashboard design, only a 15.6-inch touch screen in the center, which integrates all vehicle settings and multimedia functions.
The car of MONA M03 in Tucki is equipped with 8155 chip+16GB memory+128GB storage space, and the operation is smooth and not stuck. In addition, it also supports multi-finger flying screen operation mode, supporting screen sliding back and multi-finger sweeping, kneading and MultiTouch, which is as simple as using iPad?. Voice control with natural semantic recognition, continuous voice conversation within 20 seconds, and simultaneous processing of multiple instructions. Tucki’s smart car has always performed well, and MONA M03 is no exception. It can also remember 10 X_ID accounts, and can synchronize common functions such as seat memory, rearview mirror position, driving mode, navigation and audio.
In details, Tucki MONA M03 has thought of it for you. The main driver and co-driver have adopted large floodlit cosmetic mirrors, which are more popular with female friends. Wireless phone charging boards and front and rear rows of USB charging ports are also equipped.
Tucki MONA M03 has 18 speakers, creating the ultimate sound field with 7.1.4 channels. The highlight is the four speakers on the ceiling, which are generally only available in luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz S-Class Great Berlin Audio. M03 has a crisp treble, a rich midrange and a strong bass, which is suitable for listening to pop music.
Tucki MONA M03 comes standard with a canopy, and the battery with a thickness of only 110mm under the car body improves the head space of front and rear passengers. On the other hand, regarding sun protection, on the day of this test drive, it was clear in Wan Li, the outdoor temperature was 39℃, and the outdoor temperature displayed on the car was even as high as 44℃. This canopy above the head was really sun-proof. Popular science, sunlight can be divided into three kinds of light: infrared (the main source of heat), ultraviolet (tanning skin) and visible light (too strong will be dazzling). MONA, Tucki, has made sufficient response to these three points, using Low-E laminated glass, and the surface is coated with Low-E, PVB gray film and other multi-layer light and heat insulation layers. The infrared isolation rate is as high as 97.6%, which greatly reduces the transfer of radiant heat; The ultraviolet isolation rate is as high as 99.9%, so women don’t have to worry about being tanned; The visible light transmittance is less than 3% (lower than that of ski goggles), and even the noon sun can become very soft.
M03 is the first model of MONA series in Tucki. It is a super-attractive, super-intelligent and super-powerful intelligent pure electric hatchback belonging to young people. From the beginning of its design, it has been developed for the standard 200,000-class car, but the price is considered to meet the needs of young Pengyou, and all aspects are full of sincerity, and it has strong competitiveness among cars of the same class within 150,000. So, how much money can you "make a friend"? Let’s look forward to it.
