The first boutique electric car for young people, these three are not to be missed

Written by | Little devil

The recent rise in the price of refined oil products and the price of batteries may have made many young people with car purchase plans entangled. With oil prices and car prices rising, "which type of car is more cost-effective" has become their biggest annoyance. Some experts have calculated that an electric vehicle of 100,000 kilometers is expected to save about 80,000 yuan in the cost of use in the later stage than that of fuel vehicles, which is obviously more cost-effective.

Then for the current young people's first car mainstream budget range - about 150,000 yuan, we will recommend you three most suitable boutique electric vehicles to start.

The three cars are Hechuang Z03, BYD Dolphin and Euler Good Cat, and their prices range from 132,800 to 168,800 yuan, 102,800 to 130,800 yuan and 127,900 yuan to 15.79 million yuan, respectively.

The face value must be able to play

Compared with consumers of other ages, young people will pay more attention to the appearance of the vehicle, after all, the cool appearance of the vehicle can better highlight the personality of young people and meet the sense of refinement they want, and the three cars of Hechuang Z03, BYD Dolphin and Euler Good Cat are very capable of playing in terms of appearance, and they are also in line with the personality and aesthetics of young people.

Among the three models, the Z03 is the only compact SUV, and its overall shape is also the most modern and avant-garde, from the body lines, rims, headlights, front face are very stunning.

The car's simple and angular lines accentuate its combat aesthetic. The large trapezoidal air intakes under the front face, the through-waist line, and the use of the skeleton blade tail wing add a lot of momentum to it. As for the through-type light strip at the front and rear of the car, due to the built-in variety of smart lights, it has also added a lot of scientific and technological charm points to the vehicle.

Although the BYD Dolphin is a small car with a neutral style, the rounded body lines and the design of the short front and rear overhangs give people a particularly cute feeling.

The black enclosed grille with pattern decoration, combined with the upward headlamp and dynamic lower surround, makes its front face create a "cute" effect. The rear of the car does not have too many lines, in addition to the tail surround that echoes the front face, the exquisitely shaped through-the tail lights give the rear of the car a lot of air.

If the first two cars are neutral styles, the Euler good cat that takes the retro route is obviously more inclined to the female group in terms of design.

The front face of this small car uses a lot of curved lines and is equipped with "frog-eye" headlights to make it look very cute. Although the shape of the rear is not as attractive as the front face, the design of hiding the through taillights inside the windshield is also very innovative.

The hardware base must be up to standard

In addition to appearance, hard indicators such as battery life, power and battery safety are actually the focus of many young people. Especially in terms of endurance, the endurance of a car not only determines its charging frequency, but also affects the radius of the owner's activity.

Among the three models, the strongest endurance is the Z03, which has two battery versions of 64.6kWh and 76.8kWh, which support CLTC working life of 510km and 620km respectively, in fact, it is also the only electric vehicle with a range of more than 600km in the three cars.

With fast charging, the vehicle can be charged to 80% in less than 45 minutes (large battery version). For those who have long-distance needs or are inconvenient for home charging, it can greatly reduce the charging frequency and more dominant, after all, it is the most expensive of the three cars.

In terms of batteries, the nano-scale battery positive grade coating, electrolyte additives, aviation-grade mesh nanopore thermal insulation materials, intelligent pressure relief components, etc. used by Hechuang Z03 can greatly reduce the risk of battery thermal runaway or even explosion caused by short circuits in the battery, and ensure battery safety.

Euler good cat endurance ranked second, providing 47.8kwh and 59.1kwh two kinds of battery capacity, respectively, support 401km and 501km NEDC working conditions endurance, fast charging about 30 minutes can complete 30%-80% charging, to meet the daily travel basically will not have any pressure.

Good Cat does not have much publicity about the safety technology of the battery itself, but considering that the vehicle has undergone 106 battery pack DV verification tests, 22 performance functional tests, and 84 safety and reliability tests, the use of which can also be very assured.

The BYD Dolphin is the model with the lowest range of the three cars, and of course it is also the cheapest price. The car also offers two battery configurations, 44.9kWh and 30.7kWh, supporting 401km and 301km NEDC battery life.

In terms of fast charging, the car's 30% to 80% charging time is also about 30 minutes. In terms of endurance performance, this car is used for short-distance commuting in the city without problems, and long-distance is slightly inadequate.

In terms of batteries, dolphins are equipped with BYD's own blade batteries. This battery is well known for its conquest of needle prick testing, which means that it can nip the "thermal runaway" that causes a large number of accidents in the bud, and thus provide a fairly reliable safety guarantee.

In terms of power, although the three cars are all front-mounted single permanent magnet motor layout, overall they can provide relatively good power performance. The strongest power is still the Hechuang Z03, which offers two motor configurations, with a maximum power of 160kW and 135kW respectively, the peak torque is the same as 225Nm, and the fastest 7.1 seconds of 0-100km/h acceleration performance is already considered steel cannon power.

BYD Dolphin also offers two motor configurations, the maximum power is 70kW and 130kW, the peak torque is 180Nm and 290Nm, and the fastest acceleration time of zero hundred can reach 7.9 seconds, which is slightly weaker than the Z03, but as a small electric vehicle, its performance is also very fierce.

The power itself is not the selling point of the Euler good cat, so the car only offers one motor configuration, with a maximum power and peak torque of 105kW and 210Nm respectively. The official has not announced the car's 0-100km/h acceleration time, and the media evaluation takes about 8.7 seconds, which is enough for users who do not have much performance pursuit.

Intelligent configuration must be rich and interesting

After analyzing the appearance and hardware configuration, we finally look at the intelligent equipment of the three cars. The center console of Hechuang Z03 adopts the combination of 10.25-inch digital instrument + 14.6-inch high-definition central control touch screen, and the car machine system is equipped with a rich media ecology, covering multiple sections of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In addition to screen projection, intelligent speech recognition, cloud games and other functions, it also provides cool dog music, singing bar, bilibili and other popular entertainment applications for young people, and the playability is particularly high.

In terms of driver assistance technology, the car is equipped with an L2+ level intelligent driver assistance system composed of adaptive cruise, lane departure warning, lane keeping, traffic sign recognition, and active braking.

It is worth pointing out that the car's voice assistant can also control the driving assistance functions, including turning on/off ACC and setting the speed, lane departure warning, lane keeping, etc., further freeing hands and improving driving safety.

BYD Dolphin is equipped with a combination of a 5-inch LCD meter + a 12.8-inch central touch screen. Built-in BYD's DiLink 3.0 intelligent network system, the content ecology provided is as strong as ever, basically the games that mobile phones can play, and the software that can be played can be downloaded in its built-in application market, which is similar to everyone's commonly used mobile phones and tablets.

Dolphin's driving assistance function is more conventional, but it has also reached L2 level, providing lane departure warning, forward collision warning, active braking, lane keeping, cruise control and other functions, which can still help drivers reduce certain driving pressure within the range permitted by conditions.

The center console of Euler Good Cat is equipped with a double screen composed of a 7.25-inch LCD instrument + a 10-inch central control screen as standard, which can support dual-screen linkage, so the visual sense of technology is the strongest.

Its car machine system performance is also reasonable, built-in Himalaya, iQiyi, Douyin and other common functions for young people, in addition to the car machine also supports third-party application expansion.

Euler good cat's automatic driving assistance function is very rich, compared to the previous two more automatic parking, reversing car side warning, parallel assist and other configurations, for female car owners are very intimate and practical functions, but these must be achieved by installing an additional 10,000 yuan optional bag.

epilogue

In the 150,000 yuan level, the three cars we recommended this time are actually the best in the autonomous electric vehicle. The advantages of the three cars are very prominent, the first choice for endurance Z03, want to pursue the lowest price can choose BYD Dolphin, want to experience more intelligent technology configuration Euler good cat can meet you.

However, it should be pointed out that in terms of car prices, BYD Dolphin and Euler Good Cat have a price increase of 6,000 to 7,000 yuan respectively, and it may be from the perspective of cost performance that Hechuang Z03 will give people a better value for money, of course, small partners still have to start from their actual needs when choosing a car. 【iDailycar】
