With the advent of the electrification era, major automakers have brought their first electric vehicles to the market. Compared to the investment in luxury electric vehicles, the start-up of mini-cars is much easier. Recently, BAIC Manufacturing launched the first electric vehicle S3 and S5, S3 is a three-door model, S5 is a five-seat model, which has been greatly improved in practicality.
The shape of the S3 and S5 is very simple, there are not too many complicated lines, and the small body is like a cute toy. The S5 does not have the "matryoshka doll" style like the S3, and the revised headlights and shorter body highlight the personality of the S5. In addition, the petal-style two-color wheels also add a fashion atmosphere.
Some people will surely ask: "Is BAIC Manufacturing Beijing Automobile?" In fact, the full name of BAIC Manufacturing is Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Factory Co., Ltd., abbreviated as "BAW", which is not the same company as Baiqi Automobile, and the iconic product manufactured by BAIC is 212.
The length, width and height of baic manufacturing S3 are 3151/1498/1585mm, while the size of S5 is larger than that of S3, with length, width and height of 3498/1498/1580mm, respectively. Not only that, but the battery capacity is also much larger, so the S5 travels farther than the S3.
In terms of interior, BAIC manufacturing S3 is more eye-catching in terms of design and configuration. It is equipped with a through-air conditioning outlet, a 10.25-inch dual screen, and a 360° panoramic reversing image. The interior of the S5 model is not known for the time being.
In terms of power, both models are equipped with 20kW drive motors with a maximum torque of 85N·m, BAIC S3 offers three different range versions of 120km, 170km and 200km, while the S5 offers four different cruising range versions of 120km, 150km, 200km and 300km.
Shi Yuanfa, deputy general manager of marketing at BAIC Manufacturing Plant, once said that S3/S5 should be on par with the "National God Car" and make a more generous "National God Car". This idea is very good, but it is more difficult to land. Mini cars are originally "small profits, high sales" products, and it may be difficult to gain the favor of consumers by relying on price alone. Therefore, if BAIC Manufacturing wants to kill a bloody road under the encirclement and suppression of Chery and Wuling, then it must improve the overall vehicle quality. How much do you think baiqi makes S3 and S5 pricing?
