Geely Lifan joined hands to build a car, Maple Leaf 60S opened pre-sale, charging and replacing the power is not wrong
Speaking of Geely and Lifan, I believe everyone has heard of it, but few people know that these two companies have jointly established a joint venture company. Maple Leaf 60S is the first model they launched, this car is mainly for the operating market, support power exchange and charging, the car has opened reservations, the launch of two versions of the model, the pre-price is 141,800 yuan and 171,800 yuan respectively.
The "60" in the Maple Leaf 60S means that this car can achieve 60s power replacement, and this way of replenishing the power is undoubtedly very convenient, minimizing the charging time. From the appearance point of view, the exterior design of maple leaf 60S and Geely Emgrand GL are very similar, but some design elements used in new energy models are added. There are not many features, and the recognition is not high enough, after all, it is an online car.
The closed front grille has some chic indentations on the surface, and its shape is outlined by chrome metal strips around it, and in the middle is a maple leaf-like brand logo, trying to make the front face as not so monotonous. The headlights are connected to the front grille and extend as far as possible to the sides of the body, and if consumers can recognize its maple leaf logo, it means that it is a power-changing model.
The lower heat sink is connected to the two sides of the deflector groove to form a through-through design, and the surface is decorated with a banner-type decorative strip that looks like water ripples. Maple Leaf 60S is a compact car, body length of 4730mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, body size performance is still good, in line with its own positioning, belongs to the standard body. The overall proportions of the body are also very coordinated, the overall appearance is smooth and generous, and a period of undulating decorative lines have been added above the upper hub, and the straight upper waistline extends to the rear of the car.
In addition to the slight design of the waistline, the body surface has no other decoration, the wheel hub is also a conventional design, because it is mainly for the online car market, should not provide other body painting colors, as an online car is no problem, but as a family car may feel a little monotonous.
The tail light adopts a new style design, the brand logo is added above, and the area where the license plate is located below, forming a recessed profile, and the rear of the car uses a large number of blank designs, only Chinese characters and letters used to indicate their identity. The lower enclosure is wrapped in a regular blackened decorative panel, with reflective strips added to the left and right sides. The entire exterior design of maple leaf 60S is no problem, it is indeed in line with the characteristics of an online car, as for the interior design, the brand has not published relevant pictures, it should continue to follow the design style of Emgrand GL, mainly concise, and will not bring too many surprises to people.
In terms of configuration, this car should be equipped with reversing radar, reversing image, rear air conditioning outlet and other functions, and there are also many practical configurations, and there is no problem in meeting daily travel. The biggest highlight of maple leaf 60S is to support 60 seconds of power change, which greatly saves the time of vehicle operation, in addition to 30 minutes of DC fast charging, for operating cars, this function can be crucial, after all, time is money. As for its cruising range of up to 415km, there are two types of batteries to choose from.
The positioning of the Maple Leaf 60S means that it is a relatively niche model, and it is suitable for groups such as taxi drivers with a limited audience. In recent years, more and more new energy brands have begun to get involved in the field of power exchange, and the emergence of Maple Leaf 60S is also a new attempt for car companies, setting a good example for other brands.
The brand said that in 2025, there are expected to be 5,000 substations nationwide, involving 100 core cities, to meet the power exchange demand of 1 million vehicles. And these substations will use unattended driving, in the power exchange process all steps can achieve autonomous unmanned integration of intelligent power exchange, and the entire power exchange process only takes 3 minutes, greatly saving the user's time, think about it is heartwarming, and in the future this market may also be fierce competition.
