Extended-range models with large batteries and long-distance pure electric endurance, and the ability to refuel to avoid long-distance charging queues, sales have now exploded. After the ideal ONE sold more than 10,000 yuan in consecutive months, the recently listed Lantu Automobile has also achieved a single monthly delivery of more than 3,000 units in December last year. Of course, the reason why the delivery volume is because of the production capacity of Lantu in one month, at this time, there are so many, and the production is sold as much as possible, and it is difficult to find a car.
The reason why the extended range model will be loved by consumers, the "sense of quality" is the biggest difference between it and ordinary PHEV plug-in and mixing and ordinary pure electric models. Because the range extender of the combustion engine is not directly connected to the drive mechanism, there is no annoying "vibration feeling" when the PEV plug-in hybrid model is working, and because it can be charged quickly and refueled, there is no anxiety about endurance and energy replenishment.
After the ideal ONE and Lantu FREE, the mainstream home landing within 200,000 markets, and now also ushered in a big outbreak of range extender sales, Skyline Motors' first range extender SUV Skyline ME5, since the end of the year, as of the Spring Festival, has achieved 3 consecutive months of sales growth of 486%.
Of course, the percentage growth data is staggering, the actual statistics are still only more than a thousand units a month, and this is already the largest production capacity of Tianji.
This is the sky is not, the capacity climb or have to hurry up, at present many backlog orders have been waiting for more than two months, new orders need to wait for 3 months or more, in the face of the hot market, if the production capacity continues to keep up, there will always be a day of being defeated by competitors.
However, fortunately, the Spring Festival has passed now, and this year's chip is not as short as last year, and I hope that Tianji's production capacity can quickly complete the climb and convert the backlog of orders into actual sales as soon as possible.
As for why Skyrim ME5 is so popular in the market, the core reasons we believe are as follows:
First, it is indeed cost-effective enough. Unlike the ideal ONE and Lantu FREE, the starting price of skyline ME5 is only 149,900 yuan, plus the landing does not pay purchase tax, which is equivalent to the price of the hot-selling fuel god car Haval H6.
At the same time, if you need some cutting-edge automatic driving assistance configuration, only more than 10,000 yuan, from 159,900, Skyline ME5 has been top-equipped, at this time it already has L2+ level automatic driving assistance and other functions, as well as reversing rearview mirrors automatically downturned, panoramic canopy, automatic LED headlights, automatic wipers, automatic air conditioning, seat heating, voice control, face recognition and other functions, has been the most commercially available head configuration performance level.
Second, the power performance is advanced, and there is no problem of feeding to limit power output. This is also the most core point that distinguishes the Skyrim ME5 from the ideal ONE and Landu FREE, because the Skyrim ME5 is by far the smallest range extender model with the smallest difference between the maximum power of the range extender and the rated power of the electric motor.
According to official data, the maximum power of the Skyline ME5 range extender is 60kw, and the rated power of the driving motor is 70kw, a difference of only 10kw; coupled with the battery minimum 20% SOC, the range extender will be forced to intervene, so the Skyrim ME5 low power extreme situation Power limited scenario will be less, for the vast majority of consumers Of the vast majority of car scenes, it is a very advanced power performance.
In addition, another highlight of The Skyline ME5 is that the range extender adopts a four-cylinder form, compared to the three-cylinder range extender, its operation is more stable, the noise is smaller, the NVH texture is better, coupled with the use of flywheel rotor integrated design between the range extender and the generator, more durable, and the energy conversion efficiency is higher, with the compact body size and weight, its 100 km power consumption and feed state fuel consumption, are also significantly lower than the ideal ONE and Lantu FREE, more suitable for ordinary families to bear.
Of course, for some consumers, they may be worried about the small number of Skyline car outlets and inconvenient maintenance. At present, Tianji Automobile is also working hard to improve, and with the rapid increase in production capacity and the rapid explosive growth of sales, its sales and maintenance outlets are also rapidly rolling out.
In addition to the layout in the country's major first- and second-tier cities, with more than 100 service facades, before the Spring Festival, Tianji Automobile signed contracts with nearly 50 intended dealers at the 2022 annual dealer conference, and will complete the layout of 400 sales and service stores in 2022, covering first- and second-tier cities and some third- and fourth-tier cities.
