Since Hongguang MINIEV revitalized the micro-electric market, Wuling has lived a petty bourgeois life in the new energy market. Last year, Wuling GSEV (Global Small Pure Electric Vehicle Architecture) models sold a total of 452238 vehicles, an increase of 160% year-on-year, with cumulative sales of more than 750,000 vehicles, of which Hongguang MINIEV contributed indispensable, the cumulative sales exceeded 550,000 vehicles, and as of now, this car has won the top of China's new energy sales for 16 consecutive months.
However, as the cake of the micro-electric market becomes bigger and bigger, the overflowing delicacies have also attracted many competitors of the same level, including some powerful choices, such as QQ ice cream. Although Hongguang MINIEV still holds the absolute right to speak, the lack of choice of a single model has led to its limited development space. So in order to meet the more diversified demand of consumers, Wuling has brought a new micro-electric vehicle.
Judging from the planning of the previous exposure, this new pure electric mini car codenamed E230 is planned to be launched in the second quarter of this year, and there were expectations for this car before, but with the exposure of spy photos, this interest value has shrunk a lot. Although the shape follows the same square box design as hongguang MINIEV, the design is a little undisciplined. The trim strips at the front of the car extend all the way to the rearview mirrors on both sides, the side of the body has increased the area of the two rows of windows, and the wide black chrome border looks a bit obtrusive.
The tail through light group echoes the square tail light and the front face, and the letter "AirEV" in the lower right corner is the official identity of the car. The interior basically continues the design style of Hongguang MINIEV, and the new steering wheel and floating instrument panel are more innovative.
Perhaps accustomed to the appearance of Hongguang MINIEV, the innovation of this new car in the shape, and has not been recognized by many people, in a car platform on the car and Hongguang MINIEV in the vote, Hongguang MINIEV with 75% of the votes strongly crushed, so some netizens joked, "This car is to give MINIEV as a praise." ”
The appearance of this new car is indeed a little unpleasant, but it cannot be considered a "praise" because of this. Equipped with fast charging, providing long-axis version, short-axis version, etc. are the killer skills of this code-nameD E230, which are different from the product characteristics of Hongguang MINIEV, and its consumer group will inevitably be wider. Therefore, whether this new micro pure electric vehicle will be Jackie Chan or an adult in the future is really difficult to determine now.
