I believe that people who have been exposed to French cars have more or less felt the romance (brain hole) from the French, and the idea of whimsy has created a clear stream of French cars in the huge pile of cars. Not long ago, Citroën Ami, known as the European version of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, launched an off-road version - Citroën My Ami Buggy.
According to the conventional thinking of the general car, it is basically the operation of raising the chassis, installing a wide plastic wheel eyebrow, and changing to off-road tires with stronger off-road performance. However, as a French car, these operations obviously do not highlight their unique understanding of romance, and the riot is the essence.
When the major new energy vehicle companies roll up the endurance, performance, and intelligence, they turn to the opening of the roll door, the gull wing door, the scissor door have a double door and a gull wing door... Regardless of whether this way of opening the door is practical enough, the way to open the door is cool enough anyway.
However, when the major new energy car companies are still rolling the door, Citroën My Ami Buggy has begun to fiddle with the "emperor's new door". Yes, in the eyes of the French, the door may only be a burden to add weight to the body, rather than tangled it is better to have a painful break, adults, children and the elderly can get on and off the car is also convenient, but also better close to nature, this move is a full score.
However, don't look at its small image to be weak, the French still have a good idea of the details. The front and rear are equipped with more robust bumpers, and even the lampshade is equipped with a sturdy protective cover, which is protected in all directions.
At the same time, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, its roof is also equipped with a luggage rack, and it is equipped with an LED headlight and a spare tire to improve the fault tolerance rate.
Coming to the side, the new car is also equipped with matte gold wheels and replaced with off-road tires with stronger off-road performance, providing the vehicle's pass-through performance.
Entering the interior, the car is dominated by black and green colors, which looks more vibrant. Secondly, its storage box has also been redesigned, equipped with matte gold metal trims, in order to prevent the items placed on the center console from sliding during driving, to avoid accidents.
It is understood that the car is also equipped with a more advanced cushion, the thickness of the cushion has risen from 35mm to 70mm, and the comfort has been greatly improved. What's more worth mentioning is that it also supports quick disassembly for easy cleaning and replacement.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a maximum power of 6 kW and a maximum speed of only 28 mph, and because the battery pack capacity is only 5.5 kWh, its maximum cruising range is only 45 miles (72 km). Judging from its power data, it seems that off-road only exists in the concept...
------------------------
If placed in China, consumers will basically think that the French car is basically a wave of "swinging" operations after seeing its endurance performance. However, it is not, and finding the right track may lead to a new continent.
In fact, Citroën Ami has launched my Ami Cargo in addition to the basic version in overseas markets, which is used for cargo transportation. Perhaps everyone is skeptical of its petite body size, but in fact, after the removal of the passenger seat, the cargo space reached 14.0 cubic feet (about 396L), and the Kia Rio as a reference for the 2021 model has 13.7 (about 388L), which can be said to be very capable.
Seeing this, I suddenly thought of the domestic takeaway industry. Presumably, everyone has seen this situation more or less, takeaway electric vehicles parked randomly, flushed red lights, on the sidewalk, taking the motorized road and so on. (Individual status quo, do not sit in the right seat) In fact, I also understand, after all, for the industry, time is money.
But the second thing we see is that the current road planning is actually not friendly to them, for example, the ban on motorcycles in the city center, the ban on electric donkeys, the planning of non-motorized roads, and so on. This is a nightmare for the takeaway industry, but if it is not sorted out, there will be a lot of chaos.
So, if Wuling can launch a smaller, pure electric and legal car similar to Citroën Ami, does it mean that it can make all this more reasonable and standardized?
The concept is indeed quite beautiful, it is quite worth learning, but to really operate the money burned is really not so simple as a billion points, after all, where is the endurance problem, the supply station must be built, the stop area is also to have it, then the road planning is not it? There's so much to think about.
Citroën My Ami Buggy has always been a product of the concept, and it is unknown how to use it in practice, but to be able to find the right track for yourself, to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, you can also find your own value.
