On February 24, some online channels recently exposed a news that "Evergrande Automobile's first model Hengchi 5 began price research", which seemed to hint at the arrival of Evergrande Automobile's first mass production car. Previously, Evergrande officials had said that it would bring new cars to the market in the first half of 2022.
It is worth noting that among the price options given at the bottom of the survey, there are three options of 15-18 million, 18-21 million and 21-240,000.
According to the previous exposure, Hengchi 5 positioning compact pure electric SUV, expected to be priced below 200,000 yuan, is one of the lowest positioning and price models of Hengchi series. In the future, the new car will be benchmarked against the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and other traditional luxury brand entry-level SUV models.
In November last year, the Hengchi 5 LX model was declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, which is also considered to be an important signal for the mass production of Evergrande Automobile. The overall design of the new car is mainly fashionable and technological, and adopts the style of "powerful but not sharp, prominent but not obtrusive". Details include special-shaped LED light clusters, suspended roofs and two-color wheels.
The interior color of the new car is mainly light color, and the collocation of materials is also relatively advanced. The center control shape is similar to the Mercedes-Benz EQS through-channel curved screen, which is composed of a 12.5-inch full LCD instrument panel, a 14.6-inch touch central control screen and a 10.25-inch co-pilot screen.
In terms of configuration, the new car provides heated seat ventilation, 5G communication, AR navigation, electric sensing tailgate, and supports L2+ level automatic assisted driving.
In terms of power and endurance, the new car is equipped with a drive motor produced by United Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd., with a maximum power of 204 horsepower (150 kW), using a single motor two-wheel drive form, accelerating 7.8 seconds per 100 kilometers, and the cruising range under CLTC conditions is 602 kilometers. Power performance and endurance in today's long-term new energy market, can only be regarded as decent.
