Even if it becomes EV, the individuality of each company and cars is clear ... JAIA imported electric car test drive
On November 25, the Japan Automobile Import Association (JAIA) held a major electric vehicle test drive in Japan.A total of 10 manufacturers and brands participated.There are 21 test drive vehicles (only one exhibition).It was prepared to make domestic media and stakeholders feel like EVs.
◆ 10 imported cars, 22 EVs, PHEV, HEVs
In the EU, EVs are also increasing in the number and composition ratio of new car sales.In Japan, EVs other than leafs and Tesla have come to be seen in the city.If you notice, the major imported car brands have some EVs, and sales are starting in Japan.At this test drive, 14 units were EVs out of 22 exhibited vehicles.6 is PHEV.Two are HEV.You can see that the choices are expanding even with EV alone.

Not all models were able to test drive, but I compared the differences between EVs, mainly EVs.In general, it is said that EVs are more difficult to differentiate by driving performance and feeling for simplicity than the internal combustion engine engine.Some are true, but the structure of the car is not so simple, even in EVs.
In terms of technically, the torque carb tuning width is wide even with the output control by the inverter circuit alone.If the torque distribution control of the front and rear wheels is added with the two motors and the four -wheeled individual control of the electric brake, the running performance and stability on bad roads, snow roads, low -mu are not the ratio of 4WD.
Since this test drive was conducted in Tokyo, it is not possible to test on the winding or wet roads, but if you take a comparative test drive, you can clearly see the individuality of each car.

Thaikan can be aware that the brakes are working on the accelerator off.Thaikan brakes are moderately heavy and have a pad -like pad feeling, but it is said that a considerable area is controlled with regenerative brakes.The e-tron GT needs to slow down with the brake, but the driver is more likely to take the initiative of driving.
JAIA輸入電動車試乗会：ジャガー I-PACE◆ Exciting SUV EV market
If you enjoy the most advanced driving during the test drive, Jaguar "I-PACE" would be.It is an EV that you can enjoy driving and moving without need (although possible) for the detailed mode settings that are common in CASE vehicles.It is a car that sets an EV at the time of the times, but the design must be made by the Jaguar owner.
In the SUV, Volvo "XC60" and Mercedes -Benz "EQA250" were tested.The XC60 is a plug -in hybrid, but it was running in motor mode other than starting the engine.In the XC60 hybrid, the engine is responsible for the front wheels and the motor is in charge of the rear wheels.When driving a motor, it is a rear wheel drive.The engine driving is automatically switched as needed, but it is also possible to set up such as "use the engine so that the battery is not reduced" or "to charge".

In EQA, I was able to try "MBUX II" a little.The accuracy and usability of voice recognition had advanced considerably than the first version of "MBUX".While driving, it is also possible to set the navigation system, the air conditioner or seat heater, etc. only with the voice.The XC60 also has a Google Assistant function, and similar audio operations are possible.However, it seems that Japanese support will be from January 2010.At present, Japanese place names and facility names are usually recognized by speaking and recognized (although it is natural because it is Google).
JAIA輸入電動車試乗会：プジョー e-2008 GT◆ BC segment is the next fierce battlefield
Compact size.In the B segment, I tested Peugeot "E-2008" and "DS 3".The EV market has been excited about Nissan "Leaf", "Aria", "Honda E", Mazda "MX-30", Toyota "BZ4X"/Subaru "Soltera", and Nissan's light EV.It is a car that is not only premium cars and SUVs, but also for B / C segments.
This class has a price range, and honestly, there are aspects that are difficult to make individuality in the EV platform, Inverter and ECU settings.Both E-2008 and DS 3 share a CMP platform as a sterring group.The seasoning as an EV was not so large, and the DS 3 was a little more focused on electricity -oriented and deceleration.In both cases, the French car is soft but stable.The difference you feel while driving is mainly due to undercarriage and body shape.
The E-2008 seemed to make a fairly good move in winding, though not as much as the E-208.DS 3 is for those who want to focus on usability, such as rear seats and utility.In this class, not only driving feeling, but also comprehensive packages such as the size of the rear seats, the clearance, the size of the luggage, riding, and running costs are differentiated factors.It is a segment that is likely to be a fierce battle in EVs in the future.
JAIA輸入電動車試乗会：テスラ・モデル3パフォーマンス◆ Tesla as a reference EV
Among the test rides this time, the most EV like EV would be Tesla "Model 3".Of course, it is an EV -only manufacturer, but it is natural that the acceleration of the engine car user, whether it is a sedan or a streets, and the deceleration due to a one -pedal is clearly understood why the Tesla owner is not satisfied with other EVs.
In the marketing industry, discourse from things to things is spoken.Tesla succeeded in introducing a new value in the experience of driving by EV.
JAIA輸入電動車試乗会：テスラ・モデル3パフォーマンスIt embodies the fact that the button and lever with a minimum can be made so simple if there is no way.You need a physical lever or button because you have to fumble while driving.The touch panel is the worst user interface, but the idea is that Tesla should be set with a touch panel when it is stopped if it does not need operation during operation (full auto or audio operation).is.
The large screen of the center console provides an experience of not moving games and entertainment.OTA updates are one of the new user experiences.Every time a test drive, the number of objects to be recognized and displayed by the auto pilot (or FSD) is increasing.Not only passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles, pylons under construction, pedestrians (perceived one by one), and dogs on the walk are also identified.
Leaf is a pioneer in mass -produced EVs, and if it is a vehicle packaging (charging time, cruising range, practicality) reference model, it can be said that Tesla has created an EV ecosystem reference model, including business models.
JAIA輸入電動車試乗会◆ Optional imported car EV
Regarding electrification, there are differences in energy and policies.It is inevitable that milestones will be set for each country or region.Although the directions and time to the goal vary, the roadmaps for carbonized carbonization are almost the same in Europe and the United States.
If electrification is regarded as part of the change in industrial structures and business processes such as CASE and DX, reforms will proceed even if they are separated from the environment and eco.No one can stop the technological innovation that has occurred, such as EVs, autonomous driving, connected, etc.
If you think so, EVs and PHEVs will increase even more in the lineup of imported car manufacturers developed globally.It is welcome to have options for users.
