The main travel market, Geely / Lifan work together to create, Maple Leaf 60S open booking, is it worth considering
As early as before, The company Ruilan Automobile, a joint venture between Geely and Lifan, announced the official map of its first electric car, the Maple Leaf 60S, and recently, the Maple Leaf 60S officially opened the reservation, providing two easy-to-go versions and one Excellent Edition, a total of three different models, with a pre-sale price range of 14.18-17.18 million yuan.
New car price/background analysis
Looking at the price alone, the price of Maple Leaf 60S is actually not cheap, you know, this price point is generally distributed in some of the pure electric compact cars of independent brands, such as BYD Qin PLUS EV, GAC AION S and other models, and the product power of Maple Leaf 60S is not for the time being, just the brand awareness and recognition, even if Maple Leaf 60S has Geely endorsement, but in a short period of time, there will not be too many people who know this car, so if you look at the price alone, maple leaf 60S price is still expensive.
According to the planning of Ruilan Automobile, in the future, the brand will be committed to creating a smart power exchange ecology, and by 2025, more than 5,000 substations will be built, covering more than 100 cities, so maple leaf 60S can also be regarded as a masterpiece in this context, if it can really be developed according to its future planning, then maple leaf 60S will also enjoy future dividends, but now it is just a matter of thinking.
In terms of appearance, the overall appearance of maple leaf 60S is very emgrand GL figure, in fact, this can be understood, after all, maple leaf 60S is also a masterpiece under the joint venture between Geely and Lifan, but as a pure electric vehicle, Maple Leaf 60S still uses a closed front grille, and at the same time uses the car's iconic maple logo inside the grille to highlight its identity. As a compact car, the Maple Leaf 60S is 4730/1804/1530 mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2700 mm, and its size is still in the mainstream level in the same level.
As a model designed for the travel market, the Maple Leaf 60S is actually very general in terms of configuration, equipped with reversing image/radar, leather seats, dual-zone constant temperature air conditioning, rear exhaust air outlet, and can be equipped with an optional 8-inch central control screen, supporting basic functions such as Bluetooth and mobile phone Interconnection.
In terms of power, maple leaf 60S all series of models are equipped with a power of 100kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, peak torque of 230N · m, from the power point of view, this can be said to be a pure electric compact car can be said to be ordinary, and there is no bright point, zero hundred acceleration performance of 10s, and many fuel vehicles of the same level of acceleration performance is similar. However, it should be noted that maple leaf 60S has the ability of "rechargeable and replaceable", which is a major advantage of the car in the context of power replacement, which can provide users with 30 minutes DC fast charging and 60s power exchange mode, if it is an operating car, the vehicle warranty is 1 year or 150,000 kilometers, for the operating car, its warranty time and kilometers are not long.
In terms of the most important endurance of pure electric vehicles, the car will provide lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium battery versions, the former has a battery capacity of 51.8kWh and NEDC pure electric mileage of 407km; the latter has a battery capacity of 52.56kWh and NEDC pure electric mileage of 415km. For a pure electric compact car, this performance can be said to be unremarkable, you know, in this price point of the competitive models, generally can achieve a pure electric mileage of 500 + km, and some models of high-end models also have a pure electric mileage of 600 + km, so the Maple Leaf 60S is not outstanding in this regard.
Editor's Comments:
In fact, whether it is from the Maple Leaf 60S product itself, or from the positioning of the car, it is not difficult to see that the car is a model built for the travel market, its birth, more or for the operation of the car market, but even in the operating car market, maple leaf 60S performance is not outstanding, even the brand does not have any advantages, so in my opinion, Maple Leaf 60S even after the listing, there will not be too good market performance. As for the power exchange ecology of Ruilan Automobile, it is still necessary to wait for the development and layout after that, if it can be successfully completed according to the plan, then it is still a good news for the domestic new energy vehicle market.
