Anyone who dares to enter the 100,000-yuan plug-in hybrid SUV segment is a tough player, and they are all very strong!

The reason I dare to say this is largely because in this segment, where the number of models is not large, only the major manufacturers everyone is familiar with dare to enter. Every one of them is a tough player, such as BYD, Geely, and Chery, as well as today's protagonist—Blue Electric Automobile, and its super long-range plug-in hybrid SUV, the Blue Electric E5 PLUS Pioneer Edition.

100,000-yuan 7-seat plug-in hybrid SUV

Before discussing the product, let us first briefly understand the brand strength of "Blue Electric Automobile." You should know that it is backed by a listed company among China's top 500 enterprises—Seres Group, which is also the parent company familiar to everyone as the manufacturer of "AITO Wenjie," and it also has a cooperative relationship with Dongfeng Group. This means that Blue Electric Automobile, backed by a big tree, has strong brand heritage and technical strength.

Turning back to the product, let us first talk about one of the major advantages of the Blue Electric E5 PLUS Pioneer Edition, which is its large space.

Compared with other compact plug-in hybrid SUVs at the same price, the Blue Electric E5 PLUS Pioneer Edition has class-leading body dimensions, with a wheelbase reaching an astonishing 2,785 mm, which is even larger than many mid-size SUVs.

Thanks to the larger cabin space, this vehicle also offers two seating layouts, a large 5-seat and a 7-seat version, for families with more members. When using the 5-seat layout in daily use, you can get a more spacious riding experience and carrying capacity. When there are more passengers, using the third row of the 7-seat layout for two or three hours in an emergency is completely no problem.

In addition to having class-leading oversized dimensions, the configuration of the Blue Electric E5 PLUS Pioneer Edition is also very impressive. For example, both the front and rear seats have heating and ventilation functions, and it is also equipped with a 15.6-inch central LCD large screen, in-car KTV, 50W wireless charging, 256-color interior ambient lighting, and an in-car air purifier and other luxury tech features. Coupled with the intelligent driving assistance system it carries, just from these aspects of product strength, I believe everyone can see that this is a very competitive plug-in hybrid SUV!

Pure electric range up to 165 km

In addition to the "large space" mentioned earlier, another major advantage of the Blue Electric E5 PLUS Pioneer Edition is its "long range."

While other 100,000-yuan plug-in hybrid SUVs are still competing with pure electric ranges between 50-100 km, the Blue Electric E5 PLUS Pioneer Edition, equipped with the Seres super electric hybrid system, directly raises CLTC pure electric range to 165 km, which also makes it the plug-in hybrid SUV with the longest pure electric range under 100,000 yuan!

Not only that, the Seres super electric hybrid system carried by the Blue Electric E5 PLUS Pioneer Edition also has technical advantages such as strong performance, low fuel consumption, and long range. For example, its high-power motor can output a maximum power of 160 kW and peak torque of 330 N·m, with a CLTC combined range of up to 1,300 km and fuel consumption at low battery as low as 4.9 L per 100 km. Combined with the large battery mentioned earlier, it can not only meet the low-cost commuting needs in urban areas in pure electric mode, but also remove worries about range during long-distance travel.

You did not think that was all, did you? Then you have really underestimated Seres' strength!

Would you believe that a 100,000-yuan plug-in hybrid SUV can even equip the vehicle's chassis with an FSD adaptive suspension adjustment system? You should know that in the past this was high-end equipment only found on luxury models. It not only makes the people inside the car sit more comfortably, but also improves the vehicle's handling. In addition, the first non-operating owner can also enjoy a lifetime warranty on the three electric systems, making users feel reassured when buying and worry-free when using it.

Daxia Car Talk: There is no doubt that, as a super long-range electric hybrid SUV produced under Seres Group, the Blue Electric E5 PLUS Pioneer Edition, priced at only around 100,000 yuan, can be called highly disruptive in many aspects, such as the 7-seat layout, 165 km pure electric range, FSD adaptive suspension adjustment system, and so on, all of which other plug-in hybrid SUVs at the same price do not have. Therefore, this is also an excellent model very much worth seeing!
