When you first see the official picture of the self-touring NV, what model do you think of?
No joke, the first thing that came to my mind was actually a Big Haval dog. These two cars have round day running lights, and I ask you if you are a bit godlike.
However, after looking at the various imaginative designs of other new power brands, when you see this self-touring NV, the first feeling is somewhat ordinary, as if it comes from the hands of traditional brands. But after staring at it for a long time, I inexplicably felt that it was unique, because other new power brands really hadn't designed it in this way.
The most special of these is the design of the lamp group of the self-touring NV.
Now the most common light group design of the new power brand is actually the split headlight that was madly complained about by everyone in the past few years. New power brands such as Weilai, Xiaopeng, Zhiji, and JiKr use the design of split headlamps.
Because in the model that uses split headlights, the presence of the day running lights is obviously stronger than the headlight group, so the designer can highlight the personality of the vehicle and the brand as long as the daily running lights are designed with different shapes. And a more slender and designed daytime light cluster will also make the front face of the vehicle look more futuristic.
But since the tourer has done the opposite, adding a day running lamp called a double-track ring to the front face of the NV. Although the real headlight group is also not inside the circular daytime lamp, but in the position on both sides. However, Ziyoujia has strengthened the ring-shaped daytime running lights on both sides by adding a breakpoint penetrating daily travel light strip and an integrated central network design.
So no matter what angle you look at the front face of the Youjia NV from, your attention will be completely focused on the constantly lit circular daytime lights, and then you will easily think of those models that also use this circular daytime light.
Now the most frequent use of such circular light sets is the American brand, and basically some retro SUV. Examples include Jeep's Wrangler, Guideman, and Ford's new Bronco. Of course, other brands of models also include mercedes-Benz G-Class and Land Rover Defender, which also use this circular light set design, because they also belong to the retro model SUV.
Compared with the old car, the purpose of designing round headlights is because of technical limitations, after all, the circular spotlight effect will be better. The round lights appear on the new model more just to pay tribute to the original model or heritage. So now when we see these models again, they will have a retro feeling.
And you will find that the models mentioned above are basically the main off-road performance, so in addition to retro, the self-touring NV does look like an SUV that can really drive off-road.
The official self-tourer also has a corresponding noun explanation for this set of exterior designs, called Urban Exploring Fusion Style, which is actually emphasizing that it is an urban SUV with off-road capabilities.
Of course, then again, the round lamp of the NV also has a brand heritage. Do you think the earliest calves were round daytime lanterns?
But I don't know if you have such a feeling, if you only look at the front face, the NV does not look like a big car.
In terms of size, the length and width of the self-touring NV are 4915mm and 1950mm, respectively, and compared with the most similar positioning of the Lantu FREE, the length of the self-touring NV is 10mm more. But as far as the renderings released this time are concerned, it is really not big.
This is actually a side effect of the lamp being too eye-catching, because the front face of the NV seems to be only the lamp left. Headlight sets, ring-shaped daytime lights, and through-strips of light take up too much of the front of the car, causing the vehicle to look narrow and low, like a compact SUV.
However, the real car is not easy to say, after all, the size is placed there, and the effect of standing on the side will be completely different.
Compared with the front of the car, the side and rear of the NV are more decent. The biggest highlight of the car side is the energy stack on the C-pillar, which is simply the charging indicator.
How to say this lamp, because it is designed above the charging port, it is indeed very practical, but it should have no impact on less. If you can display the power in real time, it seems that it is not very innovative...
As for the tail, the shape of the taillights is through-type, but like the headlight group, the segmented design is adopted, and the two sides have the effect of tightening inward, which is completely different from many through-type taillights.
I would like to say that there are really too many new cars with through-the-taillights. I used to be able to guess eight or nine from ten when I looked at the taillights of the car, but now I really can't do it, and at night, at a glance, it is a red line, and I can't tell who is who.
In addition, the rear window design of the self-touring NV is actually more interesting, most of the models of the rear window will remain on the same plane as the tailgate, but the self-touring NV is embedded in the tailgate. Officials also refer to it as the one-piece crater tail wing, with a spoiler at the top and wind wings on both sides around the rear window, the role of which is to reduce the wind resistance.
Although I don't know how much wind resistance can be dropped, and for an SUV, how much this wind resistance can increase the endurance, anyway, it is quite special.
Finally, let's talk about the time to market that everyone is most concerned about. According to the plan, the self-touring NV should open the booking in the first half of this year and officially deliver in September. As for the power, the NV will provide two power options, including pure electricity and extended range, both equipped with a four-wheel drive system, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers will be 5.9 seconds. In addition to the above two points, other information is not known.
So under the appearance of the American retro SUV, what kind of road will be used in the interior design of the self-touring NV, you may wish to guess it in the comment area.
