The recent surge in oil prices has rekindled hope for new energy vehicles, and as more and more car companies announce that the future will enter the era of electrification, we have to admit that the era of fuel is coming to an end. Today AM Car Mirror introduces two new models under the brand new brand.
Hengchi 5
Evergrande Automobile has been hyped up before, and released 9 new cars at one time at the 2021 Auto Show, which is really rich. Later, as the news of Evergrande Group's operation spread overwhelmingly, the future of Evergrande Automobile became confusing. During this period, the information for Evergrande Automobile's first mass-produced car Hengchi 5 has been continuously broken, first there is a road test spy photo, followed by a mass production declaration map, and recently there has been an offline experience store, which also has a genuine Hengchi 5, and is about to open pre-sale.
Hengchi 5 is a pure electric compact SUV, the appearance of the vehicle and the concept car at the previous auto show are basically the same, which will also become the future family design language of Evergrande Automobile. The overall design is simple and smooth, using a hidden door handle, equipped with a 21-inch wheel rim, coordinated body proportions, and a wheelbase of 2780mm, which is also a middle and upper performance in the same level.
Since it is a new energy vehicle and is from the hands of Evergrande, the interior design and workmanship materials are naturally arrogant. The interior of the car is wrapped in a large number of soft materials, and the seat filling is soft. The display runs from left to right, with three displays of 10.25 inches + 14.6 inches + 10.25 inches, and there is also an AR-HUD head-up display system in front.
The car has integrated seats, leather steering wheels, fur-turned roofs, seat heating, seat ventilation and other configurations, and can also realize 5G communication technology, high-precision maps, high-end intelligent driving assistance and other functions. Previously, we have experienced a set of intelligent technology ecosystems that Evergrande Automobile will develop in the future, and will realize today's distance planning at home in the future, and the vehicle will automatically drive to the destination according to the planned time, and also accompany the virtual AI assistant for a day.
Judging from the information currently released, the car will use lithium iron phosphate batteries provided by catalpa times, and the comprehensive cruising range of CLTC is 602 kilometers. The motor has a maximum power of 150 kW, a maximum torque of 345 Nm, and an acceleration of about 7.8 seconds from zero to 100 km/h. Matching an E-CVT transmission will feature a pocket gear design.
Previously, Liu Yongzhuo, president of Evergrande Automobile, said that the first batch of Evergrande Automobile offline experience stores will be opened in 15 key cities such as Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which is obviously not only the main battlefield of Evergrande Group, but also meets the conditions for the open purchase of new energy vehicles. At present, Hengchi 5 is about to enter the pre-sale stage, and the pre-sale price will be between 150,000 and 240,000 yuan, and will achieve mass production in June this year.
Zhiji L7
In the domestic auto market, there is always a game point, that is, brand strategy. Judging from the strategies of domestic independent brands such as Great Wall, Geely, Chery, etc., they have launched many sub-brands to refine their product lines. From the perspective of North-South Volkswagen, North-South Toyota, and Higashimoto Hiromoto, they have all launched a two-car strategy, and the same model is divided into one, resulting in the effect of 1+1>2. In order to develop the strategy of high-end new energy vehicles, it is completely different from its own existing products, and saic motor zhiji is born.
Zhiji's first mass-produced car, Zhiji L7Pro Edition, finally ushered in the listing, and the official guidance price was 408,800 yuan. Positioning is a medium and large pure electric car, as far as the current price is concerned, for a brand new brand does need some hard power to impact the market. The exterior design of the Zhiji L7Pro version is indeed very colorful, and the DLP light trace projection lamp on the front face can not only illuminate the front, but also support the projection of a variety of patterns, and the effect of lighting during the day is also very cool. It adopts the body design of the coupe, with a length of more than 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3100mm, which is like a four-door executive coupe.
The interior design is a combination of ecological naturalness and scientific and technological sense, using a minimalist design, the configuration uses a 39-inch large screen, and there is a 12.8-inch vertical screen in the middle to make some adjustments to the vehicle. In terms of workmanship materials, SAIC has indeed shown great sincerity and adopted a large number of clean taste environmental protection materials. Both the front and rear seats are heated, while the front seats also support ventilation and massage. The vehicle has a total of 11 high-perception cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 2 high-precision positioning units, and is equipped with NVIDIA Xavier vehicle specification-level chips, which can realize high-end intelligent driving assistance.
The configuration is smart and rich, and the power is also very good. The Zhiji L7Pro version adopts the front and rear dual motor layout, four-wheel drive, the total power of the motor reaches 425 kilowatts, and the total torque reaches 725 Nm. The wind resistance coefficient is only 0.21cd, the acceleration from zero to 100 km is 3.87 seconds, and the braking distance of 100 km is only 32.69 meters. These performances have reached the standard of a sports car, while the chassis has also been carefully tuned, the suspension can be adjusted soft and hard, and for this more than 5 meters long body, the Zhiji L7Pro version is also equipped with an overall active steering system and variable steering ratio technology.
Needless to say, the starting point of the Zhiji L7Pro version is indeed very high, but also showed a lot of sincerity, we spread its configuration and performance, in the face of the entire new energy market to compare, the potential competitor is tesla with high sales by virtue of brand advantages. In addition, Xiaopeng P7 and Weilai are also a strong opponent, which depends on the product promotion of the Zhiji L7Pro version in the future, and even the improvement of product strategy, just from the current situation of the Zhiji L7Pro version, it still has a strong competitive strength.
AM Mirror Summary:
The new model positioning of these two new brands is higher than that of models in the same class, which also allows us to see the upward and new development of Chinese car brands. As for the future market performance, it also needs to be tested by consumers.
