AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/30 Report--

Aion Y is the latest model launched by GAC Ian, which was officially launched at the Shanghai Auto Show. The subsidised price range of the new car is 10.46-148600 yuan. The new car is positioned as a compact pure electric SUV with a maximum mileage of 600km and carries a magazine battery for the first time. From the appearance, GAC Ean Y is more like a concept car, it uses a more avant-garde appearance, the degree of recognition is still relatively large. In terms of size, the length, width and height is 4410/1870/1645mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2750mm.

However, quality problems were exposed less than three months after the new car went on sale. Recently, a number of car owners reported that there was a leak in GAC's E'an Y cabin and posted relevant pictures and videos online.

According to netizens' exposure of the group chat transcript of "GAC Ean car owners Alliance", a car user who is going to book GAC Ean Y has postponed his car purchase plan. In addition, some car owners who have already picked up the car have reminded "those who are ready to pick up the car to check in advance": there are a lot of water stains in the front cabin of the car, and they are now worried because 315 exposed the problem of leakage in the front cabin of Ford.

It is understood that there is not a small number of leakage in the engine room of GAC E'an Y, and there are relevant comments in the official car owner community and other relevant forums of E'an Y of GAC.

A car owner posted on the relevant forum: "yesterday I checked my AION Y and there was a leak. I don't think it's an exception, it's a common problem." Feedback 4001883333 today, the service specialist said that the cabin is not sealed, connectors are sealed, please rest assured to use, if there is any problem, return to 4S inspection and maintenance. I don't agree with this reply. after all, connectors cannot be sealed forever. trams also have motors, cooling fans, and various pumps, which may not be short-circuited in the future. it is also very annoying for air-conditioning filter elements to see water in rainy days and rust on long-term leaking shells. Customer service follow-up arrangements for 4S processing. "

It is worth noting that some car owners reflected to the manufacturers and 4s stores, but the problem still could not be solved in time. A car owner whose leakage is "quite serious" said: "We have given feedback to the customer service, as shown in the picture. Like other riders, the rain today specially observed the situation in the cabin. Sure enough, it leaked, and it was also quite serious. The electric control and ptc heating modules were drenched by water, and the customer service feedback situation has been received. I hope the manufacturers will pay attention to it and give a solution to the lift car that has not been produced yet. The engine room sink leakage is an abnormal phenomenon." No matter how well waterproof the cabin is, it can not avoid the aging of the parts, and being exposed to rain for a long time will shorten the service life of the parts. I lay down in front of the car once, went back to the shop for repair, and replaced the ptc heating module. I don't know if it has anything to do with the leakage. "

There are also 4S stores that have offered a solution: they say that the current monitoring of the situation is due to the tightness of the rain trough and will reschedule the test by sending a new rain trough. But the car owner pointed out that the handling of the 4S store did not completely eradicate the problem.

As the problem of water leakage has not been eradicated, some riders have also expressed their willingness to return the car, and some have already booked the owner to refund the order.

The owner of the car to be picked up also expressed concern:

In response to this matter, the manufacturer also responded to the media: "We have paid attention to this matter for the first time, and users also have direct communication with us." In addition, the person in charge also said: "our vehicle cabin itself is not sealed, car washing or rain, the cabin will have water, but our technical standard engine room plug-ins are IP67 (water depth 1 meter 1 hour no water) technical requirements, can deal with the normal engine room water situation."

What is IP67?

According to the relevant provisions of the current international and national mandatory standard GB/IEC "Shell Protection Grade (IP Code)": IPXX refers to the protection grade of the shell, which are protection against dust inhalation (overall prevention of contact, protection against dust penetration) and protection against temporary immersion (prevention of immersion). In IP67, 6 is used to represent the solid state protection level of electric vehicles, with a range of 0-6. The larger the number, the stronger the protection. 7 is used to show the level of liquid protection, with a range of 0-8, indicating protection from vertical droplets to bottom pressure, respectively. The larger the number, the stronger the ability.

For compliant electric vehicles, the second digit after the liquid intrusion protection rating IPXX for high-pressure components should be 7 or more to ensure safe driving on wet, flooded ground. The number 7 specifically means to prevent the immersion of water when immersing in water, and the electrical appliances are immersed in the liquid for a certain period of time or the pressure is below a certain standard, which can ensure that the damage will not be caused by flooding. It means that as long as it is properly handled, the leakage in the cabin of Eanye will not pose a threat to daily use.

GAC Ean is a new energy vehicle brand under GAC GROUP. Although it relies on GAC GROUP, it is only a new brand established in 2017, and it did not even declare its independence until November 2020. According to the latest data from the Federation of passengers, GAC sold 10395 Eian terminals in May, of which 6752 were AION S, which is the main model of GAC Ean, not only in the personal consumption market, but also in the travel market. The newly launched AION Y is 1898 vehicles, and its sales performance is slightly lower than that of other models, or because of capacity problems, many car users report that they booked cars at the time of pre-sale but have not yet been scheduled for production. As for many riders who report that there is a leak in the cabin of GAC EAnn Y, how to solve it needs to be officially released.
