Explosive reservation？ Preempt the test drive of New Energy Power School Deep Blue S05
Everyone is talking about the domestic new energy volume. The 200,000-300,000-level new energy is now rolled into standard air suspension, intelligent driving, comfortable configuration, etc., but it is actually even more rolled up at the price of 100,000-150,000. In this price segment, the joint venture brand has gradually fallen behind, and the product strength has gradually been surpassed. However, many new faces have emerged in domestic brands, such as the deep blue of Chang’ an, which has begun to be involved in 2024.At Chengdu Auto Show, Deep Blue Auto brought a brand-new Deep Blue S05, a compact SUV with extended range and pure electric power. Today, let’s test drive first to feel its strength.

At present, the specific selling price has not been announced. As a reference, the price of Deep Blue S07 is 149,900-207,900 yuan, and the estimated selling price of Deep Blue S05 is expected to drop to about 120,000-150,000 yuan.

Deep blue S05Positioning colorful life recorder is an SUV that focuses on fun and interaction. Everyone will feel strange when hearing this concept in the car. In fact, we can get a glimpse from the appearance. First of all, the headlights on both sides of the front of the car are very eye-catching and full of design. This is a DLP headlight equipped with deep blue S05, which has been seen in HarmonyOS Zhixing. It can project the ground, interact with pedestrians or conduct lane-level driving guidance.
Similarly, it can project video on the wall or curtain, and even project the central control screen directly on the wall, which greatly enhances the playability of outdoor activities, and we can also experience the charm of DLP headlights on the night of test drive; With a wonderful picture, the sound can’t be absent. Deep Blue S05 also adds two external speakers, which can be played in linkage during projection, which is very cool.
Looking up, Deep Blue S05 also has a small horn on its head, but it is not a common laser radar on our new energy vehicles, but a Yuntai camera. This camera has 48 million pixels, reaching the level of the current mainstream flagship mobile phone, supporting 4K recording, 120 rotation angle, 180 panoramic photos, and electronic anti-shake. The most surprising thing is that the car system is also equipped with video clips. If you can’t take out the shooting equipment to record the beautiful scenery while driving by car, it can help a lot, so this function is very suitable for young players who love travel photography.
Personally, the overall shape of the dark blue S05 is beautiful and durable. The round and full front face has a hint of Iron Man, and the aircraft lights on both sides are highly recognizable, while the car side shape is dark blue family style, with a body size of 4620/1900/1600mm and a wheelbase of 2880 mm. The wheelbase advantage is obvious, and the whole block belongs to a larger category in a compact SUV.
There is a ring-shaped indicator light on the C-pillar, which can display the power when charging, which is convenient for us to check outside the car. The designer has considered the young users’ careful pursuit of individuality, and this design belongs to the finishing touch of the whole side.
There are not many exaggerated lines in the shape of the rear end, and some sleek treatments have been added to the taillights, but the familiar high-position brake lights are still there, retaining some small details of sports. In fact, it is not difficult to find that the dark blue S05 has fewer sharp lines and more rounded details than its own brother models, which is more in line with the aesthetics of most people, and it is also destined to be a volume model.

The dark blue interior has always been dominated by simple aesthetic style of science and technology. The center console adopts symmetrical design, with the dark blue iconic "sunflower" screen in the middle, which can rotate left and right. What is more surprising is that the design of the center console of S05 is rich in layering. Compared with the previous dark blue models, more details are added, and all the places that can be touched are soft bags made of skin-friendly materials, and the exquisiteness is obviously improved.
The familiar sunflower screen still provides three mainstream desktops, equipped with DEEPAL OS3.0. Thanks to the 8155 chip, the operation fluency has reached the first echelon level at this price. The intelligent voice interaction adopts AI algorithm, and the full screen can be seen. It can be said that the main driver supports no wake-up, and can carry out continuous dialogue, generalized expression and accurate recognition. DEEPAL OS 3.0 also supports more custom card functions, which is very easy to use. As long as you can use a smartphone, the difficulty is almost zero.
The overall riding experience of the dark blue S05 is very good, the seat is very spacious, the curvature of the backrest can give good support to the shoulders, the front and rear cushions are very long, which can completely support the thighs, the head space and leg space are excellent in the compact SUV, the overall comfort in the middle position of the rear row is not bad, and the floor is flat. Unfortunately, the headrest is not adjustable and the position is a little lower. The trunk space is not very large, but it is very regular. After the rear seats are laid down in 4/6 ratio, a completely flat trunk expansion space can be obtained.
We test drive the pure electric version, with the layout of rear single motor, the maximum power is 175kW, and the maximum torque is not clear at present. According to the current information, the battery life of CLTC has reached 510KM；. The location of this test drive is Chongqing, which is famous for its magical 8D city. There are both urban roads and mountain road expressways.
Nowadays, there is a most direct criterion for everyone to judge whether an electric car is good or not, that is, whether the power follows the foot. The performance of Deep Blue S05 is very solid, and the overall dynamic response is linear, rapid and agile, and the dynamic response follows the foot. In the whole test drive part of the mountain road, it is very comfortable to run the mountain, and it is very easy to swim between multiple hairpin bends, T-roads and craters. Its accelerator pedal strength is not a frivolous setting, and it has a certain weight. If it is a novice,
During the whole day’s test drive, the noise in the car was well controlled when traveling on the expressway and the washboard road in the city. Even when cruising at a high speed of 120 kilometers, the conversation in the car is extremely relaxed, and there will be slight wind noise and road noise introduced into the car, but it will never be noisy.
In S05, there is not too much emphasis on stacking parameters at the driving level. The counterweight before and after S05 is close to 50:50, and its overall suspension is soft, with good toughness performance. It filters more fine bumps on the road surface, and it can be quickly pulled back to restrain the bounce when encountering big bumps at the joint of expressway. The only flaw is that when the deceleration zone section of continuous mountain road is such a big bump, the vibration rebound behind the vehicle will be obvious, which is not as advanced as expected, but considering its price.
In fact, the driving experience of Deep Blue S07 has been excellent since it was contacted. Today, Deep Blue S05 is better than S07. During this period, we also communicated with people from manufacturers, and we wondered whether Mazda team participated in chassis adjustment, and the answer was no. In addition to excellent driving experience, Deep Blue S05 has a good face value and configuration performance, such as Huawei DLP headlights, 4800-pixel pan-tilt camera on the roof and intelligent assistant standard in all departments, which are the hearts of young users. Now all we expect is the price. We will wait and see if there will be any surprises in the mid-October release!
