With the style of Lynk & Co 01, or the post-driving force layout, Chery Big Ant is not loved?
In the world, if the super sports car under the car value is the first brand, I believe that many people will directly vote for Porsche, after all, only Porsche is currently on the market is a sports car "professional household" origin, the design is more focused on streamlined aesthetics. But back to the domestic auto market, it may be difficult to find a model with the first appearance, but it is still very easy to find a SUV that most resembles Porsche, such as: Lynk & Co 01, the unique "frog face" design is impressive, but unfortunately it is a front-drive car, which is not pure enough in creating sports. The arrival of Chery's big ants makes up for the lack of Lynk & Co 01 in the momentum of movement, the appearance can not be said to be the same, but it can be said to be very similar, but also adopted the rear driving force layout. However, it is such a full of personality sports SUV, the monthly sales are only ten figures, is there too many shortcomings or too high tone?
In terms of appearance, Chery Big Ant continues the design language of the @NATURE, the front face adopts the iconic closed grille design of the pure electric model, a black trim strip runs through the split LED headlights connecting the two sides, and the three-stage daily running lights at the front of the hood form a three-dimensional layering, and the familiar design is also displayed in the front face of the Lynk & Co 01, and there may be embarrassment of "colliding shirts" on the road. In addition, the front face of the car also adopts a triangular cooling trough design at both ends, stretching the visual width of the front face and highlighting the sporty atmosphere.
On the side of the body, the lines are simple and smooth, and the smooth waist line extends from the fenders to the upper edge of the taillights, which contrasts with the silver trim strips of the upper window line, enriching the delicacy of the side. It is worth noting that in order to strongly adjust the sporty attributes of the car, it is equipped with 20-inch multi-width blackened wheels and is equipped with orange painted calipers, and the sports atmosphere is created in place.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the big ants are: 4630/1910/1655mm, the wheelbase is 2830mm, and the positioning is medium-sized SUV, which is slightly larger than the size of the competitor model, and the size advantage is mainly reflected in the wheelbase part. In the rear part of the car, the through-led taillights can be regarded as the biggest highlight, and the luminous structure inside the light cavity is divergent, forming a visual difference with the straight light strip on the upper floor, sharpening the exquisite atmosphere of the rear of the car.
In terms of interior, the overall layout of the car is simple and capable, but it is still a bit too "old-fashioned" compared to the popular flat center console design. In addition, imitation wooden decorative panels and metal decorations are added to the interior, which can highlight a certain sense of refinement through the materials used in the details, but due to the large number of hard plastic materials, it is difficult to create a satisfactory exquisite atmosphere. In terms of configuration, the car is equipped with a double 12.3-inch joint screen, the interface UI design is relatively novel, the content is clear and easy to read, but the black edge between the two screens is too obvious, making the interior technology feel unsatisfactory.
In addition, taking the big ant entry model tide as an example, compared with the same price Xiaopeng G3, WM EX5 and other competitive models, there are fewer panoramic sunroofs, electric induction trunks, hidden door handles, leather steering wheels, full LCD instruments, electric adjustment of front seats, automatic headlights, window anti-pinching hands, rearview mirror lock automatic folding and other functions, and the difference in comfort function configuration, which in turn affects the cost performance of the whole vehicle.
In terms of power, the new car provides 130/150kW two different power motors, the maximum torque of 280/295 Nm, the speed of up to 200km/h, the power parameters are in the same level of average, can not provide a strong power output experience, but enough to ensure the daily commuting needs of the power performance. In terms of endurance, the new car is equipped with a 70.1kWh ternary lithium battery, NEDC comprehensive mileage of up to 510 kilometers, support fast charging, the use of fast charging piles only 0.5 hours to achieve power from 30% -80% of the fast charging demand. It is worth mentioning that Chery Big Ant is also a rare model with a rear-drive motor layout in the same level, and the measured steering has a clear sense of calm road, good power performance, and flexible body dynamics, but the brake performance is slightly inferior, it is easy to have thermal attenuation, and the control advantages brought by the rear-drive layout are smoothed out.
epilogue
Overall, Chery Big Ant is not only young in appearance and sophisticated in interior, but also has ample space, sufficient battery life, and relatively balanced product strength, but if compared with models such as Xiaopeng G3 and WM EX5, which are competing models at the same price, the richness of functional configurations and power performance are short. In addition, for the average person, the appearance design of the big ant is slightly exaggerated, and for those who are familiar with Lynk & Co 01, they will feel embarrassed. If there is no independent and more brand-recognizable design language, no more cost-effective configuration advantage, I am afraid that the market status quo of Chery Ants will continue to slump.
