When the major car companies in China built a lot of water, BMW MINI and Mercedes-Benz SMART did not move. In fact, both companies are silently developing new cars, because the sales volume in the world is not good, a little discouraged and lazy to lie flat. Later, in China, it cooperated with the Great Wall and Geely to re-enter the electrified model.
Recently, the great wall and BMW joint venture beam car, its first MINI COOPER S electric version of the infantry spy photo was exposed. Look at its front face, the middle mesh uses a semi-closed grille, and a large trim plate is crossed in the middle of the large opening mouth. Although it is similar to the old style, pure electricity is not like pure electricity, fuel is not like fuel, it feels like being a monk and not wanting to abstain, cultivating the Sunflower Treasure Book and refusing to swing the sword.
But fortunately, the classic round headlights have been retained, and the internal structure of the light group is quite innovative, with two layers of eyelids added up and down, which is a bit of a silly feeling of milk and milk.
The body line continues to remain mainly rounded, and the suspended roof design does not look much different from the style of bmw MINI. In terms of car length, the head of MINI said that the new generation of MINI will not be lengthened, only shortened. Because as a MINI, it was originally to take the exquisite car route, but after being acquired by BMW, it became longer and longer, and the body was up to 3821mm, which was not mini at all, which attracted many car owners and fans to complain.
As can be seen from the side, the chrome door handle of the old MINI COOPER S has been changed to the current top-key hidden handle. In addition, the side turn signals on the original fenders have disappeared and are expected to be transferred to the exterior mirrors.
The rear part of the car is the most powerful netizen complaining, anyway, a word to summarize: very ugly. MINI has been born for more than 100 years, and no matter how the taillights are changed, the shape is basically the appearance of a rounded rectangle. This time it was completely renovated, replaced by a fan-like shape, surrounded by a circle of black edges, which was even more ghostly than the Civic. It is also connected to a horizontal black thick edge, and I really can't understand this aesthetic.
Some spy photos of the interior have also been exposed, and the most eye-catching thing on the central control is undoubtedly the large floating circular screen in the middle. Manga believes that the BMW MINI's center-controlled circular speedometer has always been one of its most classic family designs. The new car can continue the classic in keeping up with the trend of technology, which is worthy of praise. But I don't know if this round screen will be filled with an LCD screen, or will it only cut a rectangle in the middle to make a screen? If it is the former, it is really super handsome, and the latter is low-
After a few spy photos, the new MINI COOPER S electric version of the beam car is not very stunning, and the appearance even makes people feel a little disappointed, but the interior is still a little exciting.
Speaking of which, let's review the new SMART of Zhimada by the way, which was also introduced by Man Ge before. Smart Motor is a joint venture between Geely and Mercedes-Benz, and SMART is a sub-brand. Around August, I sent out a few pictures of the new car.
The new car is based on Geely Lynk & Co's vast SEA architecture. The appearance can be said to abuse the above electric MINI COOPER S, but it is still the concept car stage, and the mass production of Fengjie is not accurate.
The SMART has no size baggage, and with a body length of 4.29 meters, it is a step into the ranks of compact SUVs. Mini Pocket? There is no such thing, the Chinese local tycoons feel good, that is really good.
There is also a door opening design, a large area of glass canopy, looks cool and good-looking, but it is estimated to be ugly when it is hit.
The interior is too exaggerated, ah, this full of local luxury gold, is afraid that others do not know the family mine? As soon as the sun shines, it is estimated that he will blind his cat's eyes first. So Brother Man does not dare to agree, and the simple point of MINI is very good in comparison.
Now in the domestic automobile market, independent brands have made rapid progress in the research and development of new energy models, and they are also very large. After two years of pure electrification of the MIN and SMART cars, the market no longer knows whether there is a place for them. It is estimated that it is difficult to compete than the three electrics, and it is their premium capital than brand power, intelligence and industrial design.
