Recently, Smart said that its first pure electric model Genie #1 successfully passed a series of rigorous aerodynamic and winter extreme cold tests, showing a relatively good overall quality, performance and reliability. In addition, smart officials said that the new generation of pure electric vehicle family naming system will be a combination of "#" and numbers as the core element, and Genie #1 will be officially listed in the Chinese market.
It is reported that the wind resistance test of the new smart genie #1 was carried out at the China Automobile Research Institute Automobile Wind Tunnel Center in Chongqing, where the new car passed the rigorous test of China Automobile Research Engineering Experts, and its wind resistance coefficient was as low as 0.29.
This is because the new car adopts the design concept of "sensibility and sharpness" and has an elegant streamlined appearance. In addition, hidden door handles, an efficient aerodynamic kit, and an active air intake grille (AGS) as standard throughout the series help the new Smart Genie #1 achieve better aerodynamics.
In addition, the extreme cold test of the new car was carried out at the Yakeshi Winter Test Site in Inner Mongolia, where the temperature was close to minus 40 degrees, and it is reported that the new smart genie #1 is equipped with a battery temperature control system, which can preheat the battery at low temperatures to ensure that it is in the best working conditions, thereby improving charging and output efficiency. In addition, the model can also preset the travel time through the smart car APP or the car machine system, and the battery can intelligently start the heating function. In addition, the hidden door handle of the new smart genie #1 is equipped with an ice-breaking function that pops up normally even when covered with thin ice.
At the same time, the new smart genie #1 also tested Bosch's body electronic stability system (ESP) and pure electric drive system in simulating the winter urban road conditions in the cold area, and the official said that the new car's handling performance on ice and snow roads is still good.
