I believe you still remember that in October this year, Evergrande Automobile held a strategic partner conference at the Tianjin production base and released the news that "in 3 months, hengchi in Tianjin factory first car was off the production line". Moreover, Evergrande President Liu Yongzhuo revealed at the meeting that Evergrande's latest progress will be launched in Tianjin in early 2022 Hengchi 5.
Recently, Brother Cylinder learned from the Internet that Hengchi 5, the first model of Evergrande Automobile, has finally rolled off the production line!
This time Evergrande is different from the previous big fanfare, from a number of pictures, this off-line ceremony did not invite a large number of media to come, the situation on the scene is still relatively cold, but from this trial car off-line ceremony, it means that Hengchi 5 is one step closer to the listing.
Judging from this picture, the new car is basically the same as the version unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show at that time. The electric car's signature enclosed front face design, with eye-catching "Y-shaped" headlights, makes the front face very recognizable. It is worth mentioning that the design of Hengchi 5 was created by Japanese designer Maruyama Gonggu, and this new appearance car may have two styles to choose from, ordinary version and sports version.
In terms of body, Hengchi 5 looks very simple. It can be seen that the designer adopts the blackening treatment of the opposing column, and the new car creates the effect of the suspended roof, and with the hidden door handle, the overall visual sense is still good. According to the previous declaration chart information, the length, width and height of Hengchi 5 are: 4725 * 1925 * 1688mm, wheelbase 2780mm, and the prediction of the interior space performance will be relatively good.
In terms of the tail, the design of the new car adopts a simple design approach, and it can be seen that the tail lights also adopt a modeling design similar to Jingo, which echoes the daytime running lights, and the tail lights use a black design effect, which enhances the visual sense of a lot of sports.
The Hengchi 5 is positioned as a pure electric compact SUV. Power, Hengchi 5 using Lithium Iron Phosphate battery pack in the Ningde era, the peak torque of the motor is 150KW (204 horsepower), the endurance function of NEDC can reach 700KM, according to Evergrande's previous plan, Hengchi 5 is priced below 200,000 yuan, compared with Audi Q3, BMW X1 and other models.
The exposure map did not announce the interior, interested friends can look at the previous Shanghai Auto Show debut map.
According to the "three months of big dry" news released by Evergrande before, this time Hengchi 5 did complete the off-line early, but it is really not a mass production car, and it does not have the ability of standard operating procedures for the time being. It is understood that in the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" (Batch 350) licensing announcement issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on December 7, we can see that there is no Hengchi new car in the announcement, which means that Hengchi Automobile must take off the production line in 2021, otherwise the new energy license plate may be required to be withdrawn, so this time, Evergrande Automobile has been ready to debut a new car, or in order to ensure the new energy license to choose a new car in a hurry, this aspect is worth everyone's thinking.
But it is undeniable that Evergrande's determination to make cars is still very firm. In terms of research and development, from Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places to mobilize the core R & D team, technical elites to Tianjin to support; in terms of funds, the core management took the initiative to suspend the payment of wages, the staff office moved from the office building to the factory, to achieve the greatest possible cost reduction, it can be seen that Evergrande These operations are undoubtedly the final sprint for mass production.
summary
For the new forces to build cars, in fact, it is not difficult to release a new product, and the difficulty is difficult in mass production, delivery and development issues, from the perspective of this product of Hengchi 5, the current competitors at a price of 200,000 include GAC AION V, Xiaopeng G3, BYD Song PLUS pure electric, Nezha U and other models, how to run out in this track, of course, the premise is that Hengchi 5 products are enough to attract customers, in the current situation, Hengchi 5 still has a certain strength.
After experiencing a storm, Evergrande finally realized the off-line of the model in advance, which is undoubtedly of great significance to Evergrande, although the strength of the new car is not known for the time being, but the launch of the new car proves that Evergrande is not just talking about it, it is worth mentioning that a car from the off-line to large-scale mass production is a long way to go, at present in the difficult period of Evergrande, Hengchi 5 can complete its mission? Everyone is welcome to leave their views to discuss.
