Denza N9 Changsha test drive: can the five-meter car also make a flexible U-turn? It can still be opened like this!
Updated on: 23-0-0 0:0:0

The moment I started the car, the first word that popped into my head was "quietly". If it weren't for the fact that the car in front of me was five meters long, standing in the ranks of medium and large SUVs, I almost thought that it was a delicate car quietly approaching. The steering wheel is so light that it makes me a little suspicious of life, and it can turn fast with one hand, and the sense of control is almost as agile as riding a small electric donkey. This feeling is like dancing a waltz in a pair of sneakers, steady and energetic, unhurried, and just right.

The motivation response did not disappoint either. As soon as you step on the electric door, the feeling of pushing the back immediately keeps up, not abrupt, not irritable, and appropriate. Unlike some cars, which are like a foal with joy, the DENZA N9 is more like a well-trained dancer, light and powerful, making people down-to-earth and comfortable.

The most mouth-opening thing is the car's cornering performance. A "big man" more than five meters long, but when he turned around, he looked like a dexterous carp. Thanks to the rear-wheel steering technology, the alley mouth that you thought was going to "turn it upside down" is turned around, as if it was flexible into the wheels. You know this place in Changsha, the streets are narrow and there are many curves, but this car is more relaxed than the small one. When it came to changing lanes on the highway, it was also surprisingly stable, and its body posture was not chaotic at all, as if every movement had been predicted for a long time.

When it comes to the city of Changsha, the road conditions are very complicated, from the traffic in the city to the potholes in the suburbs, and then to the speeding on the highway, the road conditions are as complex as a hodgepodge. The chassis of the Denza N9 is like the kind of old rivers and lakes that can look at people's faces, it can bend and stretch, it can pass lightly when encountering small bumps, and it can also "pack your bags" in time when encountering big ups and downs, swallowing the impact. This set of Yunnan-A preview system is like a car with long eyes, sweeping the road in advance, responding in time, and driving as comfortable as sitting on a sofa.

Running on the high speed, that kind of steady confidence is more obvious. The whole vehicle is close to the ground and does not float at all, just like a straw growing on the ground, sucking it firmly on the ground. The silence performance in the car is not ambiguous, the moment the door is closed, the noise outside seems to be suddenly muted, and the slight hum of the motor is the same as the wind in the ear, leaving only the conversation between himself and the car.

The DENZA N9 has really worked the interior. It's not so pompous, but you know it's real when you touch it, and the delicate touch makes people feel a sense of satisfaction. The atmosphere in the car is so quiet that people can't help but let go of their voices, for fear of disturbing this quiet world. The ten-screen interconnected AI smart cabin responds as fast as a child grabbing snacks, navigating, listening to songs, and turning on the air conditioner, all in one go, without ambiguity at all.

What I remember most in particular is its "Eye of the Gods" intelligent driving system. In Changsha during the rush hour, the traffic flow is like waves of ants pressing the road, but this system can automatically change lanes, maintain the distance between cars, and brake easily, without you staring at the steering wheel, the whole process is more natural than you do it yourself. The valet parking function is a must, you don't have to go around looking for a vacant seat, just press the button, and it will sneak in and park on its own, like a pet that will go home by itself.

Easy to get tired after driving for a long time? This car has long been considered, the intelligent assisted driving system is like an intimate co-pilot, which can help you take over the work at critical moments, not simply "help", but real "sharing". After this test drive, not only did I not feel tired, but I became more and more energetic, as if I was enjoying a slow-paced journey.

Interestingly, I specifically tried its "two- and three-row beds" mode. One key to flatten the seat, and the seat immediately becomes a large bed. Leaning on it, turning on the stereo, the silhouette of the city is outside the car window, and the car looks like a mobile suite. It's no exaggeration to say that at that moment I almost forgot that I was in the car. It felt like listening to the rain outside my parents' bedroom when I was a child, and my heart was very stable.

And the biggest charm of this car is precisely that it reconciles the two seemingly opposite words "big" and "light" into a clever balance. You think it's bulky, but it's light everywhere; You think it's rough, but it's full of details; You think it's just a car, but it can be an extension of life.

At present, there are many medium and large SUVs on the market that can take into account high-end intelligent driving, luxury and comfort, and technological configuration, but there are indeed not many that can do it like the Denza N9. Especially in the context of the current hot and fierce competition in the new energy vehicle market, all car companies are not just "who is fast", but "who understands people better". The performance of the DENZA N0 just shows that it is not blindly pursuing the stacking of technology, but is seriously making a car that "integrates people and vehicles".

The test drive in Changsha has come to an end for the time being, and the story of the Denza N9 has just begun. How it will go next depends on how the market scales it weighs. But at least for now, this car has really impressed many people. For consumers, choosing a car is not only to buy a means of transportation, but also to choose a travel attitude. You ask me if it's worth the experience? I can only say that this combination of "dexterity and confidence" is a bit of a pity to miss it.
