With the continuous rise of car ownership in China, people's calls for car personalization are getting higher and higher, but due to the restrictions of national regulations, it is difficult for consumers to modify their cars by themselves. In the face of the huge market for car modification, many car companies have targeted the original modified version of the current model, and the Euler White Cat Little Wildcat version (hereinafter referred to as the Euler Little Wildcat) that we test drove today is exactly such a model.
Key points for speed reading:
1: The new car successfully changed the overly monotonous design of the current model, appearing more lively, personalized and young;
2: The interior design of the new car changes the materials in some areas on the basis of maintaining the unity of the overall design language, so that the overall interior atmosphere appears more textured;
3: Both the front and back rows have a good head space, and the leg space in the back row is also relatively generous;
4: The car storage compartment is relatively rich, but it is not very large, the trunk can not put down the 24 inches and above luggage in the case of the seat is not reclined;
5: The power of the first section of the car is relatively abundant, the overall is enough, and the suspension adjustment is biased towards comfort.

Euler White Cat was listed on July 15, 2020, the official guidance price range is 7.58-8.88 million yuan, and the Euler Little Wildcat we test drove today belongs to the new model launched by the official in 2021, and the configuration is very close to the top version of the current model. The main changes in the new car are the addition of new design elements to the exterior and interior, making it more personal, while also enhancing the texture of the interior. As for the power, the new car is consistent with the flagship model of The Euler White Cat, which still maintains a NEDC cruising range of 401km, and the maximum power of the motor is also 45kW.
Overview of appearance characteristics
As an original modified model, the biggest change of the Euler White Cat Little Wildcat version compared to the current model is to bring a new exterior design, on the basis of continuing the family design, a lot of decorative elements have been added. The new black and gold color scheme paint is a highlight of the car's exterior design, bringing a high degree of recognition.
Some people may think that the tires of this car are narrow, but I think there is nothing to complain about, because the same level of models are basically 175mm width specifications, even smaller than it, for example, the front wheel of the BMW i3 is narrower than it, only 155mm wide, the rear wheel is the same as the little Wildcat, the same as 175mm; the tire width of the zero-run T03 is 165mm.
In the appearance part, I think that the change of the Euler White Cat Little Wildcat version is more successful, and the new car has changed the overly monotonous exterior design of the current model, appearing more lively, individual and young. For a model priced at about 80,000 yuan, it is still very rare to be able to do so.
Interior changes overview
If the exterior is the biggest change in the Euler Little Wildcat compared to the current model, then the second most changed place is the interior. The interior design of the new car changes the materials in some areas on the basis of maintaining the unity of the overall design language, making the overall interior atmosphere more textured, and also adding physical buttons for air conditioning control to improve the convenience of operation.
It is worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image function as standard, which can switch 3D and 2D vision at will through the HUT switch to help the driver judge the situation around the vehicle. In addition to automatically starting when parking, the system also starts automatically when meeting at low speeds at close range.
In terms of deficiencies, the steering wheel feels hard, the padding is insufficient, only the upper and lower two-way adjustment, which is not very friendly for people with higher heights, because this group of people will adjust the seat backwards, resulting in the distance between the steering wheel and the shoulders being too long, which will bring inconvenience to the operating steering wheel.
Spatial experience
The official claim is that 24 storage spaces have been designed for the car, from the actual feeling, these storage spaces are not large, but they are still quite practical, such as the storage compartment on the left front side of the steering wheel can be used to put the key, the storage compartment under the gear can be used to put the wallet, the storage compartment under the armrest can not only put the mobile phone, but also wireless charging, in addition, in the front seat, but also for the rear seat design storage bag, you can put a lot of things.
When the rear seats are lowered, a certain height of bulge will form with the trunk floor, but it is not serious. The 50:50 ratio of reclining makes the space expansion of the trunk more flexible, and the owner can only recline the seat on one side to put the larger suitcase, while the other side continues to sit, so that even the travel needs of a family of three can be met.
Dynamic driving experience
Before we talk about the dynamic driving experience of this car, let's take a look at the power parameters of Euler's Little Wildcat, which uses a front permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 45kW, which can deliver 130N.m of peak torque. The car is also equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 36kWh, and the NEDC has a range of 401km.
But when the power comes, relying on the advantage that the motor can instantly reach the maximum torque, the initial stage gives people a feeling of quite energetic, which is the power feeling that the same level of fuel models cannot match. But when the speed is 50km/h, don't fantasize about how strong the car can accelerate.
In single-pedal mode, kinetic energy recovery defaults to strong gear, and when the driver releases the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will maintain kinetic energy recovery until the vehicle completely stops. So in single-pedal mode, will the vehicle brake itself until it stops? In fact, it does not, because when the vehicle is completely stopped, autohold automatically opens, until the driver presses the accelerator pedal, autohold will automatically release.
It is worth mentioning that as a miniature car, its turning radius is very small, and when turning around at an intersection with only two lanes, Euler's little wildcat can easily pass. At the same time, the larger turning range also makes the car very flexible when passing or stopping in narrow sections such as alleys, which is an advantage that larger models cannot match.
Summary: Face value online Power is enough Configuration to be strengthened
After a short test drive experience of Euler Little Wildcat, my overall impression of the car is still very good, first of all, the appearance of the car is young and personality, which can highlight the owner's attitude to life; secondly, the power and endurance of the car are enough for daily commuting, space and comfort.
However, I think that the configuration of the car still has rooms to continue to improve, such as adding an electric seat to the main car, turning air conditioning into automatic air conditioning, adjusting the steering wheel front and rear, and so on, which will make the car experience a higher level. I learned from the official that the car will be officially released in August, and it is expected that the price should be close to the top version of the current model, that is, about 80,000 yuan.
