【EV Vision Report】Recently, we learned from the official that the smart genie #1 has completed the aerodynamic and winter extreme cold tests, and the official also officially announced a new generation of pure electric vehicle family naming system with "#" and digital as the core elements, and the new car will be officially listed in China this year.
It is reported that the new car has been tested for wind resistance at the China AutoMotive Research Institute Wind Tunnel Center in Chongqing, and its wind resistance coefficient is as low as 0.29. It is understood that the new car adopts the design concept of "sensibility and sharpness" and has an elegant streamlined appearance. In addition, concealed 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.
Not only that, the extremely cold test of the new car was carried out at the Yakeshi Winter Test Site in Inner Mongolia, where temperatures approaching minus 40 degrees, 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 condition, 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 activate the heating function.
In terms of appearance, the front face of smart genie #1 uses a holistic netless design, and the positive trapezoidal large mouth design is very cute. In the design of the headlights, the headlights and taillights have adopted a penetrating design, which is also the trend design of new energy models. At the same time, the new car also uses oled light sources, with starry sky-like embellishments, and the lighting effect is very eye-catching.
In terms of active safety, the smart genie #1 concept car is also equipped with ADAS intelligent driver assistance system, which can support intelligent parking assistance, adaptive cruise, pilot assistance, lane keeping, emergency avoidance and other functions.
In terms of power, the new car is expected to be equipped with a rear-mounted motor with a maximum power of 200 kW, and it is also possible to launch a dual-motor four-wheel drive version. Smart's exclusive pure electric architecture combines many advantages, which will not only provide excellent dynamic driving performance for future production cars, but also make it have fast charging function and long battery life performance.
Mr. Daniel Lescow, Vice President of Global Sales, Marketing and Aftermarket, Smart Brand, said: "The new Smart Genie #1 combines a new luxury style with pure electric technology, and I am confident that the first new work of the Smart brand will surely gain the favor of Consumers in Central Europe."
