New chinese car-making forces have added a new member- NIUTRON Niuchuang, and recently debuted the first product self-touring NV, which is a medium-sized and large-scale SUV that focuses on urban exploration and design style, and will be delivered at the end of September;
It is worth saying that Niuchuang is not the transformation of The Calf Electric Vehicle, there is almost no connection between the two, and the research and development team is completely different. Of course, serious people also understand that pure electric vehicles and pure electric bicycles are two completely different categories.
The only connection between Niuchuang and Maverick Electric is the founder, Li Yinan. After founding Maverick Electric and successfully listing, Li Yinan once again chose pure electric vehicles, stemming from the dedication to "cow", the new company and the brand still chose the Chinese character "cow", which also brought about the association of two less related companies.
For Niuchuang, the market did not leave much time. Unlike Weilai, Xiaopeng, Byton and even Faraday, there is a lot of time for research and development and testing in the pure electric start-up stage, and new energy vehicles have passed the most difficult stage and begun to gradually roll in. To this end, Niuchuang needs to launch a mass production car in a particularly short period of time to stimulate the attention of investors and consumers.
Under this, Niu Created from the tourer NV came.
Niu created from the Tour home NV looks small, the actual body size is comparable to the Weilai ES6, as a medium and large SUV, the body three circumference reached 4915 * 1962 * 1745mm, the wheelbase also came to 2910mm, which can be judged that the self-tour home NV will also be a positioning 300,000-level product.
Different from Weilai and Xiaopeng, Niuchuang has chosen the ideal and Lantu's increase route, and the self-touring NV will be built based on the GeMINI twin power module system, which will provide pure electric and extended range hybrid two types, and the whole series is equipped with intelligent electric four-wheel drive as standard, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 5.9 seconds.
As mentioned earlier, the time for Niuchuang to develop products is very tight, so Self-Touring NV has chosen to purchase in many ways. In terms of the most important power, the current mainstream range extension system on the market is ideal and Lantu (Qijie) two sets, the future self-touring NV or will be equipped with a 1.5T range extension system.
The rear suspension is similar to the Ideal One, but a similar structure does not imply a similar driving feel. At present, Niuchuang's NV has not yet opened for test driving. Relative to the positioning of the city and exploration, the NV will be based on the comfortable trend, that is, the suspension is relatively soft, compared to the appearance of the hard school, there is no small contrast.
The self-touring NV adopts many distinctive designs in the appearance, which is a unique style in pure electric vehicles. Due to the development of headlight technology, more and more brands try to make the headlights small, long and even through, such as Xiaopeng, Ideal, Lantu, but since the tour of NV to do the opposite, with the large round lamp to establish a very high degree of recognition. The entire wide mid-grid grid, similar to the Ford Bronco.
Of course, ford Bronco also has off-road versions and urban versions, in fact, this style is exactly the current pure electric car is more scarce.
The body height is slightly lower than the NIO ES6, so the self-touring NV is relatively smooth and does not feel bloated. The tail is innovatively shaped with a crater and hides the rear wiper for a nice visual feel. Through-the-line taillights are already the standard operation of the new power brand, and the flatter tail has no grooves.
Among the many designs, the Self-Touring NV is also trying to create its own ICON, so a large silver decoration is used throughout the side C-pillar, and an energy bar showing the power is built-in.
This energy bar is not displayed when driving, and is mainly used for charging and discharging when parking, and the user can view the power more directly. What the self-touring NV actually hopes to cater to is the low-intensity weekend exploration scenes such as daily camping and picnics for urban users, providing 220V and a maximum discharge power of 6kW, almost double that of ordinary models.
This can also be seen in the fact that the Self-Touring NV is equipped with 788 mm OD high-strength off-road tires.
At present, the self-touring NV is still a engineering prototype car, and it is impossible to ride specifically and give detailed feelings. The front row of the NV adopts wide-body seats, wrapped headrests, and according to the presentation of the scene, the headrests will be interior speakers to provide privacy calls. The length of the front seat cushions has reached 525mm, and the rear seats have reached 520mm, which means that the rear passengers will have a very good riding experience.
In fact, the interior of the self-touring NV makes me have mixed feelings, and the whole design style is very familiar.
The steering wheel of the self-touring NV is somewhat similar to the steering wheel of WEILAI ET7 and ET5, and the button arrangement on both sides of the steering wheel is similar to that of Tesla Model 3, and the operation logic should be similar.
The central control screen uses a vertical screen. In fact, this is not a particularly good choice, about the placement of this vertical screen, there are MARVEL R and Mutang Mach-E two ways.
To accommodate the driver's perspective, the Marvel R screen is overly tilted, so that the lower edge is very close to the driver's right elbow. The Mustang Mach-E takes a very vertical approach, which has the advantage of increasing usability as much as possible and reducing the encroachment on space – there is a prismatic space behind the MARVEL R screen; the disadvantage is that too vertical affects information viewing.
The NV screen has only been tilted at a small angle, so there is still some space behind the screen, but it has achieved good human-computer interaction.
As far as the self-Touring NV central control screen is concerned, the quality of the entire screen is not too high, and the black edge is somewhat large, but the chip should use the Qualcomm flagship 8155 chip, as for how easy to use and reliable the system is, it remains to be seen.
The reason for this may be because there are 6 linear motors behind the screen of the Youjia NV. The addition of linear motors is mainly to bring the effect of simulating iPhone vibration feedback to solve the problem of lack of feedback on the touch screen.
The self-touring NV skylight uses a very large piece of glass, although there is a beam in the middle, but it does not break the integrity of the glass. This beam was designed by Niuchuang for safety reasons. This piece of glass has a thermal barrier rate of 83% and a 99% protection against ultraviolet rays. There are similar products on the market, such as polar star 2, which can increase light transmission but will not have high temperature problems.
The self-touring NV is arranged with a lot of charging ports, including two 15 W wireless charging in the front row, a total of 4 Type-C interfaces for the whole car, two in the front row supporting data transmission, with a power of 10 W, two in the rear row supporting 18 W fast charging, and three 12V cigarette lighter interfaces. So many charging ports, in fact, also consider the positioning of self-driving tours and outdoor camping.
The biggest significance of the appearance of the NV is to convey the positioning of the exploration city and show the design style. Although it is impossible to actually experience it, through the on-site experience, you can feel that the NV is working in this direction, such as so many charging ports, organic associations with mobile devices, and so on.
On the whole, the self-touring NV is not a very civilian model, from the interior materials and design texture can feel that this is a high-end model, especially the central control instrument uses a whole piece of leather, the seat uses NAPPA leather to enhance the texture and so on.
Other information about power, batteries, motors, etc., needs to wait for further information to be disclosed.
