随着全新梅赛德斯CLA的发布,你或许会误以为这标志着一个新时代的到来——一个由梅赛德斯所宣称的电动汽车技术突破所引领的时代。然而,梅赛德斯的这一说法是谎言,因为根据古老的德国民间传说,如果一个谎言被重复足够多次,人们就会相信它。 上一代梅赛德斯CLA有一个重大问题:它实在太紧凑了——小到无法被认真对待。尽管新一代CLA在长度和高度上略有增加,但它仍然面临类似的问题。 新车将提供两种动力系统:传统的内燃机(ICE)和两种电池容量的电动版(EV)。无论选择哪种动力系统,都可以期待多个车型衍生版本和可选配置。 至于内燃机版本,梅赛德斯再次撒下谎言,声称新一代汽油发动机的效率可与柴油机相媲美,能够达到50英里/加仑以上。然而,当前的轻度混合动力发动机早已能达到这样的油耗水平,例如大众Arteon和沃尔沃V60就已证明了这一点。 至于CLA电动版,梅赛德斯声称85kWh电池版本的续航里程可超过500英里。但这又是一个误导性的说法,因为这个数据基于WLTP测试,而WLTP测试的可信度,大概和梅赛德斯声称自己诚实一样不靠谱。 当前的电动汽车技术通常比官方标称续航低约20%,因此CLA EV的实际续航里程大约在400英里左右。而当你考虑到温度、地形和驾驶风格等因素时,续航里程还会进一步缩水。虽然这个成绩仍然令人印象深刻,但考虑到它配备了大容量85kWh电池,这并不令人意外。那么,梅赛德斯CLA EV真的像他们宣称的那样突破性且高效吗? 不尽然。中国在电动汽车技术方面遥遥领先,而梅赛德斯的这次发布更像是魔术师利用障眼法,让观众忽略硬币实际上是贴在他手背上的事实。 总之,我们还是让 Autogefühl 来展示吧——全屏、全高清、4K画质……
