The so-called "car circle culture", in fact, as early as the last century in Europe and the United States began to be popular, in fact, at that time the small car led by the personal scooter was unprecedentedly welcomed by European and American consumers - of course, like it too much, dislike the scoff, which represents two different concepts and circle consumer demands. The proportion of female consumers remains high, on the one hand, because of their increasing yearning for a better life, on the other hand, the positioning of small cars is more suitable for their personal travel.
In the two days when I got the good cat GT, I also felt this way, and it was especially obvious.
While enjoying the simple pleasure of this car traveling around the city, I met at least 5 female good cat owners, who greeted me directly by flashing lights, honking horns and even rolling down the window, saying to me, "Eh, are you also a good cat?" ”。
What I never expected was that the proportion of female owners of good cats is so high, and this is still a chance encounter on the road. Now I think that buying an Euler good cat to join the car friend group is more likely to get off the order - from the perspective of the positioning of "small cars are mainly individuals", such an idea has a certain feasibility...
In a sense, the Euler brand has so far transformed into a new energy brand dominated by female consumers, from the earliest R1 launch of the goddess version to test the water, to the black cat favored by female consumers, and then to the retro + fashion + Q cute design as the original intention of the ballet cat, from the overall publicity tone to the model slogan are to attract consumers from a female perspective, the brand's series of commercial actions are showing a fact: Chinese women in (car) consumption capacity really up half the sky. For now, the sales prospects of Euler's good cats are very exciting.
Since the name is GT version, then this car will of course have more "sporty elements" than ordinary good cats, I think this is also the Euler brand to consider the good cat model is too feminine design, did not take care of the aesthetics of the majority of male compatriots, the launch of a more "steel cannon charm" GT version is also for the good cat model to broaden some of the market. From the perspective of the overall atmosphere of the good cat GT, in terms of details, it does form a certain difference with the Q version of the cute good cat model, but the overall tone still maintains the original design intention of MengDa, and on this basis, it reveals some elements of commotion that men are more acceptable.
First of all, the design of the new style of front surround with heat sinks to some extent highlights the combat atmosphere of the GT version, and the front lip in the center of the front bumper is decorated with orange decoration and the embossed word "GT" is attached to the surface.
If the front bumper is just to distinguish between "GT cat" and "ordinary cat", then on the side of the car, the 18-inch "big wheel" further highlights the identity of the GT version, with the orange decoration embellishment to make the whole car appear "riotous", while effectively reducing the visual center of gravity of the good cat GT version, the wheel arch interior is "stuffed" full. Not only that, the GT version also has a more aggressive shape of the spoiler, less of this tail wing the overall visual effect will be greatly reduced, in addition to the orange "GT" logo also appeared again, from the spoiler and the roof tail line of the higher matching, can really play a role in optimizing aerodynamics.
After Euler carried out a "riot" operation on the GT version of the model, there was also a significant change in body size - although the wheelbase was still maintained at 2650mm, the length and width height came to 4254x1848x1596mm, the length was 19mm more, and the width of the car was 23mm, which brought about a visual change that was quite satisfactory and really had the charm of a steel cannon.
In terms of interior design, the good cat GT version still continues the 7.25-inch full LCD dashboard + 10-inch central control screen of the center console combination, while the overall emphasis is more on the color to show the sports atmosphere, compared to the previous good cat main "light luxury" style, the good cat GT version through the red element embellishment, close to the performance style with a strong steel cannon taste. For example, in the leather surface of the center console, above the steering wheel, seat embroidery, seat belts and other parts, red decorations are used.
It is worth mentioning that the good cat GT is still one of the best models in this level in terms of interior quality, especially the button area of the air conditioning panel, which adopts the elements of the aircraft overhead switch control panel, and the damping feedback of the keys is also quite good. Coupled with the combination of leather stitching and color matching on the center console, the boutique small car route created by good cat GT can capture the hearts of a considerable number of young boys and girls in my opinion.
In fact, people who have experienced a good cat model before should be aware of the advantages of this 10-inch central control screen, support OTA vehicle remote upgrade service and mobile phone App remote control car, and support voice interaction, multimedia entertainment, Vibrato and iQiyi also have, response speed and screen display clarity are very in line with the performance of this price model. 360-degree panoramic images seem unnecessary for a car like a good cat, but I punch in the roadside net red shop these days, shuttle through the narrow old streets of Chengdu, or feel that there is a set of panoramic images when parking is much more convenient.
Good cat GT is also more reasonable in the performance of storage space, providing two cup holders in front of the front electronic shift area, plus a storage slot, and also providing two USB ports and a mobile phone wireless charging panel. Below the rear air conditioner outlet, a separate USB charging interface is also provided, and for people like me who are not keeping up with the digital trend, it is a great thank you not to only provide the Type-C interface.
As for the configuration of the panoramic sunroof and the like, don't be embarrassed by such a small car. Good cat GT has a wheelbase of 2650mm, the entire rear seat ride experience can be said to be no different from the ordinary version of the model, the head and leg space performance in the small car category is quite good, in the two days of test driving process there are also passengers with a height of nearly 180cm to experience the rear row, and there will be no feeling of depression.
Of course, in the course of these two days of experience, I found that the good cat GT version also has some places that can be improved and optimized, first of all, the rearview mirror is turned down at a large angle when reversing, basically can not see the state of the rear wheel, to rely on the image to complete the operation of reversing into the parking space, it is inevitable that the "old drivers" will feel insecure; at the same time, when the rearview mirror is turned over and hung back to the D gear, there will occasionally be no automatic return to the position, which needs to be completed by manual operation.
In addition, the operation of the electronic knob shift also needs attention, the computer will only execute the instructions after the vehicle is parked, the "old driver" who has too fast a hand speed will often encounter the dilemma of thinking that he has hung up the D gear, but in fact, he is still in the dilemma of the R gear, and there is no prompt tone, which can only be confirmed by the gear display of the instrument and looking down at the indicator light; there is also a point that the sound quality of the SPEAKER of the GT version of the 4 speakers is a bit unsatisfactory, for people like me who have requirements for audio, You'll miss the 6-speaker configuration on Poseidon's 500km long endurance version.
As for the feeling of the good cat GT version, as a whole, there is not much difference from the ordinary version of the model, the main difference is reflected in the power performance, the maximum power of the GT version is 126 kW, the maximum torque is 250N·m, compared with the ordinary version of 105kW, 210N·m in the power output is slightly improved. Especially in the 60-100 km/h speed range, the GT version of the model accelerates even more violently.
In addition, the Good Cat GT version also has ora-Launch+ catapult start function in Sport mode, with 0-100km/h being 6.9 seconds. The motor's almost zero delay power response will make this set of 215/50 R18 tires somewhat overwhelmed, accompanied by obvious tire calls and torque steering, the good cat GT is also quite angry, really a bit of a steel cannon taste.
In the battery life part that many people care about, the Good Cat GT version continues to carry a ternary lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 59.1kWh and a NEDC cruising range of 480km. Probably to emphasize the sporty performance, the GT version uses different drive motor suppliers and does not offer a long endurance version of 500 km.
Driver's Summary:
In the good cat car series where the consumer group is mainly female, the more riotous and sporty good cat GT version may really make some male consumers seriously consider this car. Putting aside the aesthetic differences of Q Meng's cuteness, the good cat GT version does not open a significant gap in atmosphere creation and power performance, and is still within the category of "sporty". However, if it is from the perspective of 100,000-150,000 yuan new energy small cars, in addition to some small problems, good cat GT has no obvious shortcomings in all aspects. In short, the good cat GT version is indeed a car for the little brothers and sisters to consider.
