With the continuous advancement of new energy technology, electricity is gradually replacing fossil fuels, and more and more green vehicles can be seen on the road, and even the American brands that were once known for their large-displacement internal combustion engines have gradually put more and more energy into electric vehicle products. As Chevrolet's first domestic electric vehicle model, Chevrolet Chang patrol officially met with mainland consumers in early 2020, Chevrolet hopes to pry open the domestic electric vehicle market with this model, but from the final result, the car is undoubtedly a failure.
Recently, the 2022 Chevrolet Patrol new model was officially launched, and the new car was launched with a total of two configurations, namely The StarShare Edition and the Starshare Edition Plus, which are priced from 17.13 to 17.33 million yuan. The configuration of the new car is between the Galaxy Edition and the Nebulas Edition, the whole vehicle has not changed in terms of internal and external design and power, mainly in terms of configuration differences, let's take a closer look at its specific performance.
●
Exterior design
The exterior styling of the Chevrolet Parade does not look like a hatchback compact sedan in the traditional sense, and the new car draws on the shape of the Chevrolet concept model in terms of design, which has a crossover flavor. Among them, the front face part of the car does not adopt the same large-mouth design as the brand fuel vehicle, but instead uses the more common fully enclosed structure in electric vehicles, the upper long strip of black grille helps to increase the visual width of the front face, the left and right sides of the headlight group internally match the LED light source, the headlights also have automatic opening and closing functions, and the LED daytime running lights on the inside are also turn signals.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the new model are 4665×1813×1513 mm, and the wheelbase is 2660 mm. From the side of the body, we can perceive that the overall outline of the car is still the traditional hatchback form, the body shape is closer to the Buick micro blue, but compared with other compact electric cars, the body of the car is relatively large.
The rear styling of the model is very distinctive, with black trims connecting the side windows to the rear windshield to create a visual effect of a suspended roof, and the roof rack also has a cross-border atmosphere. The interior of the tail light group on both sides is also equipped with LED light sources, and the light strip design is the current mainstream trend. In addition, the rear surround of the car is also equipped with heavy black skid plate and silver trim as decoration, which looks very visually impactful.
Interior design
Chevrolet Patrol in the interior design continues the Chevrolet brand family-style flying wing central control modeling, the overall design is simple and layered, of which the interior of the car adopts a contrast design, the light part echoes the body color, the black part of the center console is still hard plastic material, the light part is soft material, and the material belongs to the mainstream level of the same level of models. The three-frame steering wheel shape in front of the main driver is not so prominent, the left and right side function buttons cover cruise control, multimedia control, driving data switching and other functions, the outer ring is wrapped in leather material, and the specific feel is relatively good.
The interior seats of the new model are wrapped in imitation leather fabric, and only manual adjustment is supported in terms of functionality. The leather material of the front seats of the new car is a degradable and environmentally friendly fabric, the internal padding is moderately soft and hard, and the seat surface is relatively wide, which can be combined with both wrapping and comfort.
The longitudinal length and opening of the rear doors of this model are not large, but the actual longitudinal space in the rear of the car is still relatively large. The rear is well wrapped and comfortable, with a certain degree of invertedness on both sides, but the middle seat lacks headrests, and safety needs to be improved.
dynamical system
Chevrolet Cruise's new model still matches the drive motor with a maximum output of 130 kilowatts, and the top speed can reach 170 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the car is equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack with a capacity of 61.1 kWh, the cruising range can reach 518 km, and the electricity consumption of 100 km is 12.6 kWh.

Uncle Che summed up
In general, the new models launched by the new Chevrolet Patrol are mainly different from the existing version in terms of configuration, which further enriches the choice of consumers, but through the comparison between the above Nebula version and the two new configurations, we can find that the 2022 Nebulas Version has a more comprehensive functional configuration under the premise that the price increase is not large, which can better meet the daily needs of drivers, and the overall cost performance will be higher.
From the perspective of sales, the cumulative sales of this model in 2021 were 3020 units, and the monthly sales volume was only three-digit, and the sales data in individual months was only 1 unit. As the main model of Chevrolet brand transformation electrification, Chevrolet Patrol has not reached the height envisioned by the brand, which also means that Chevrolet has been seriously frustrated in the first step of transformation, as for where Chevrolet's future road is, it still needs to work hard to explore.
