Recently, a set of Esplanade new models of lightning cat mass production version spy photos were exposed on the Internet, and the concept version of the car has been officially unveiled at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, and according to relevant news, the lightning cat is expected to be officially listed in May this year at the earliest.
Although the production version is still covered with thick camouflage, we can still see some obvious features.
Different from the official picture released earlier, the mass-produced version of the lightning cat headlights and rear tail lights are obviously raised in the body, and the three-dimensional sense is stronger, especially the headlights, a bit like the "jumping lights" commonly used in cars in the early years, more like the bulging frog eyes, with a strong sense of retro and full recognition.
The rear shape of the car perfectly reproduces the previous generation of Porsche Paramera, and the rounded back adds a lot of sense of the times to this retro model.
The interior of the new car has also changed greatly, the concept car uses a three-gun barrel instrument, and the mass production version is replaced by a more high-tech full LCD dashboard, in addition, the control panel of the gear handle area is also replaced by more physical buttons, which is more convenient for blind operation.
Looking back at the great wall Euler, this car brand is considered to be the car brand that understands female consumers best. After all, in its models include black cats, white cats, good cats and other models, the exterior design is so sweet and fashionable, and the interior design also has a certain sense of luxury, which can hold the pain points of female consumers very well.
The Lightning Cat is different from other cats, which have a gender-oriented model, and the official call the Lightning Cat a "neutral car", which is probably the meaning that both male and female consumers can drive this new car.
At the same time, the Lightning Cat will also be produced in BMW MINI collinear production, and the speed of light car is a new joint venture company launched by BMW and the Great Wall, and the two companies will produce pure electric BMW MINI and some pure electric vehicle models under the Great Wall.
Construction will begin in 2020, and it is reported that a model code-named EC24 will officially start mass production in April this year, which is the Pure Electric Vehicle model of Great Wall Euler - Euler Lightning Cat. In the same production line, there is also a car codenamed J01J05 , a pure electric MINI, which will also be produced in the future with the Euler Lightning Cat.
In the past, Geely and Dalem cooperated to produce Smart Genie #1, and now there is a great wall and BMW cooperation to produce a pure electric model, which will bear fruit. It can be said that in the field of new energy, independent brands have gradually begun to be recognized by international brands, and they are constantly working hard for it. At the same time, it is also hoped that other independent brands can still maintain a high level of production, launch products that can solve consumer pain points as soon as possible, and retain a certain degree of originality, do not take the old road of Zhongtai leather ruler, so as not to collapse the reputation.
