On January 12, Niu Chuangxin Energy officially released its first model, the Self-Youjia NV, officially entering the ranks of new car-making forces. Maybe you don't know the brand. But its founder, Li Yinan, was a former Huawei executive with a good reputation in the Internet industry and successfully founded a two-wheeled electric vehicle brand, Maverick.
Li Yinan said in an interview that he has not yet lacked money to build a car
From the official understanding, Niu Chuangxin Energy's car-making project was established in 2018, and the brand headquarters is located in Beijing. At present, the average working experience of the company's core R & D team is more than 10 years.
On the 15th of last month, Li Yinan, founder of Niu Innovative Energy Technology Co., Ltd., officially announced the brand's Chinese named "Self-Traveling Home", positioning itself in the field of intelligent high-end new energy vehicles. As we all know, as a heavy asset business, new energy vehicles are extremely "burning money".
Xiaobian noted that Li Yinan confidently said in an interview with the media that since its inception, the Youjia family has not been short of money for a day. According to public information, in terms of funds, Niu Chuangxin Energy has received a total of $500 million in Series A financing. Although the amount is not small, it is worth playing that Li Bin of Weilai Automobile publicly stated not long ago: "The capital threshold that is needed to be reserved for car manufacturing may not be able to do without 40 billion yuan now."
How is the design of the first model from the Tourer NV?
The two-wheeled electric vehicle brand founded by Li Yinan - Maverick, its model design and performance, showing good competitiveness, can be called more successful in this field. So, does its first model, the Tourer NV, have highlights?
Judging from the official map released, in terms of styling design, Ziyoujia NV has a unique design idea and is a personalized urban SUV. Its headlights use LED light sources, which is quite retro. Officially called the double-track ring headlights, which have certain similarities with the headlight design of the Maverick electric vehicle, and the visual effect is very recognizable.
Coming to the side of the NV, it can be found that the new car line is not complicated, and the suspension roof is used to create a high-level visual effect. Judging from the body size, it is a medium to large 5-seat SUV. In terms of interior design, the official release of relevant pictures.
The positioning is similar to the ideal and the Lantu, and the performance performance is more general
For the main high-end new energy vehicles, performance is undoubtedly quite important. From the aspect of Ox Innovation Energy, it is understood that the new car provides pure electric and range extended range hybrid two kinds of power. It is reported that the electric four-wheel drive system will be distributed as standard. In terms of performance, the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the pure electric version and the range extender hybrid version are both 5.9 seconds, and a variety of driving mode options will be available.
From the performance index point of view, more general. Because of the same range extender Dongfeng Lantu FREE and Xilis SF5, the acceleration of 100 kilometers only takes 4.5 seconds and 4.68 seconds, and the acceleration of the pure electric version is even less interesting, because the current mainstream pure electric high-end models have been achieved within 5 seconds.
However, it is worth affirming that the self-touring NV provides two completely different power systems, which are still relatively stable in terms of market strategy. After all, many consumers still have little confidence in the pure tram replenishment.
Public opinion: The competition faced by latecomers is extremely cruel
The reason why Niu Chuangxin Energy has attracted much attention in the industry is not unrelated to the experience of founder Li Yinan. He is known as a genius teenager and became Huawei's executive vice president at the age of 26. Niudian Technology, which he founded, has also achieved excellent results in the two-wheeled electric vehicle market. Although the new energy vehicle industry has broad prospects, the competition is also extremely cruel. Judging from the official picture of its first released model, it does not give people a very amazing feeling. Let's keep an eye on what the future holds.
