I don't know if you remember the end of last year, Mr. Li Yinan, the founder of Xiaoniu Electric Vehicle, announced in a high profile that the Xiaoniu brand has entered the field of new energy car manufacturing and become one of the new members of the new car manufacturing force.
Nowadays, the name of the new energy vehicle under the Maverick brand has been officially released, the official name is "NIUTRON", the Chinese name is "Self-Touring", and the first model is named "Self-Touring Home NV". At the press conference at the end of last year, Mr. Li Yinan, the founder of Mavericks, believed that four rounds are better than two rounds after all, so the brand was born, and since youjia NV will launch two types of pure electric version and plug-in hybrid version in the future.
Regardless of the power model, the Self-Touring Home NV was born in the Maverick electric vehicle Gemini twin platform architecture. Interestingly, from the birth of this name, the Maverick electric car has been saddled with the name of "coincidence". The name of the Gemini twin architecture is consistent with the name of a low-end car launched by NIO in the future, and the codename of the NIO Gemini gemini model is expected to be unveiled in June this year. Not only that, the word "Gemini" is also consistent with the name of tesla Model S super battery pack, which can allow the Model S to last more than 1200 kilometers with a single charge.
The body size of the Self-Touring NV is 4920x1950x1750mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. Maverick Electric Vehicle said that the self-touring NV will adopt a front and rear dual motor four-drive force layout, accelerating 5.9 seconds per 100 kilometers. Unfortunately, the official announcement of the new car did not disclose the capacity of the self-Touring NV battery pack, and The Xiaoniu Electric Vehicle said that the Self-Touring NV is expected to be produced on a small scale in march this year at the former Mahayana Automobile Changzhou factory, and the first batch of deliveries will be completed in September.
Another slot point of the self-touring NV is the appearance design, the American automotive media believes that the self-touring NV lacks its own original design, and believes that the exterior design of the new car refers to many elements of the Ford Bronco off-road vehicle. Not only that, the American automotive media autoevolution also believes that the Jetway T-X concept car and the Haval Kugou SUV have also copied the Ford Bronco in terms of design. In the article, the autoevolution editor did not forget to ridicule Ford Motor, saying that so many Chinese car companies have taken design inspiration from Bronco, especially wondering why Ford Motor does not sell Bronco SUVs in China.
Master Horn wants to say:
For a new product launched by a new car-making force, what Maverick Electric Vehicle has to do is how to attract customers and let customers find the shining point of value for money from the product, which can be the product itself or a value-added service. So far, the Maverick electric car has not disclosed how much the price of the NV from the tour home is, and from the perspective of some new car-making forces entering the market before, the price of the first product should not be low. So, how the Maverick electric car breaks through in the big environment, let's wait and see.
