In my opinion, GAC Mitsubishi has always been a relatively Buddhist brand, even if the sales are not very good, but still do not compete, not rushed.
Like this Artucko, it was not until the official unveiling of the Guangzhou Auto Show in November that it was announced again after a few official images were released.
However, GAC Mitsubishi does things just like they do products, never engage in those fancy things, especially direct and clear, the first and public appearance on the release of the pre-sale price, 21-24 million yuan, of which the hardcore version of the pre-sale price of 233,800 yuan.
Recently (December 11) at the Chongqing Automobile Consumption Festival listing conference is still the same, there is no large-scale to talk about product information, just simply extracted a few important product highlights, and then again put their own prices and preferential policies on the public screen, the conference ended.
Honestly speaking, I especially like this kind of conference, because the current new energy field is a particularly transparent market, in addition to the most basic security, as long as there is sufficient endurance, good-looking design and reasonable price, it can become the object of many consumers' favor, such as Volkswagen's ID series.
In terms of endurance, Artuka is equipped with a set of 70kWh battery packs, and the cruising range under clTC standards is 520km. In the 200,000-class electric medium-sized SUV, this endurance is definitely in the upper middle level, such as the highest endurance of the WM EX6 is only 505 kilometers. It should be known that the price range of WM EX6 is 23.99-27.99 million yuan.
It is also worth mentioning that Artuco also uses an aluminum alloy platform dedicated to pure electric models, which brings a sports car-grade professional weight distribution ratio of 50:50, and is equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 135 kW (183 hp). Although it has not yet been test-driven, it is conceivable that its overall power and handling performance will not be too bad.
Compared with the endurance, although the design of a pure electric SUV is not so important, it is also sloppy for our domestic consumers, and the market has long proved how important it is for a car to look good. As far as Atuka's design is concerned, I personally think it is really good, not so amazing, but very characteristic of Mitsubishi itself.
The first is the appearance, Artuco and most pure electric SUV give people a different image, it is more like a hardcore SUV, and there are some similarities with The Orlander. For example, the lines of its front face appear to be very thick and hard, and the sense of momentum is very sufficient. At the same time, its ground clearance and body height are very high, and the passability will not be bad. In addition, a black decoration is also used at the wheel eyebrow, which not only enhances the visual wildness of the side, but also effectively prevents rubbing and hanging.
Other exterior details are basically the use of some of the trend designs of today's pure electric SUVs, including split headlights, hidden door handles and suspended roofs. However, these details and the above hard design combined, or very harmonious, it can be said that the hard school with some refinement, which is one of the reasons why I think the design of Artuco's car is not bad.
Coming to the interior, Atukao gives people the same feeling as the exterior, or the hardcore with some refinement. For example, its steering wheel, as well as the use of straight lines that include a large area of the entire interior, seem to give people a more capable and powerful feeling. In the detailed part, the large-area soft wrapping, double color-blocking seats, lcd instruments, central control large screens, electronic gear shifting and other parts, but also appear to be very luxurious and scientific and technological atmosphere.
Of course, whether the design looks good or not depends on the person, and I will not repeat it here. In terms of practicality, Artuka also inherits the advantages of the Mitsubishi brand, and thanks to the application of the aluminum alloy pure electric platform, Artuka has an ultra-long wheelbase of 2830mm. At the same time, in terms of storage space, Artuco adopts a double-layer storage design of the central control and 25 rich in-car storage slots, more than many medium and large SUVs.
In addition, in terms of intelligence, Artuka is equipped with a new generation of iFLYTEK XTTS voice, which supports sound source positioning and deep control of the car, which can realize all-scenario intelligent voice interaction. At the same time, it supports remote car control of mobile phone APP, providing more than ten car control functions including insensible digital keys. In addition, AR real-life navigation, 360° panoramic parking images, and dual 12.3-inch intelligent high-definition large screens also provide drivers with all-round technical support.
What is more worth mentioning is that from the user's point of view, Artuco also designed a one-click scene selection mode: nap mode and rainstorm mode, which can automatically adjust the seat, window, and air conditioning, which can be said to be both intelligent and comfortable.
Write at the end
Compared with other joint venture brands, GAC Mitsubishi's sales volume is indeed relatively ordinary, but in terms of products and prices, GAC Mitsubishi has always been the existence of the middle and upper level of the joint venture brands. Just like this Artuka, positioning pure electric medium-sized SUV, 520KM endurance, as well as a unique design, and no less than the same level of intelligence and practicality, the final price is cheaper than some new domestic car forces. In a word: Atuka is really very good value for money and is worth recommending.
