According to the legend, GAC Mitsubishi sharpened a sword for four years, and retreated to cultivate a big move - GAC Mitsubishi Atuka. But as we all know, this product is a GAC AION V Plus with a shell label. That being the case, its combat strength seems to be quite disappointing. Look at the price, the starting price is almost 200,000, so can it win the BYD Song PLUS EV that is more than 20,000 yuan cheaper?
Looking at the price first, GAC Mitsubishi Artuka launched two models, the pioneer version and the hardcore version, and the official guidance price after the subsidy was 199,800 yuan and 229,800 yuan respectively. The official guidance prices of the premium and flagship models of BYD Song PLUS EV are 180,800 yuan and 197,800 yuan, respectively. Gac Mitsubishi Artukao is highly priced, and will the cost performance also be eye-catching? Let's move on.
In terms of appearance design, GAC Mitsubishi Atuka still maintains the solid and resolute style of the Mitsubishi brand, and the front face headlights are full of personality, the upper part is an LED daytime running light, and the lower set of LED near and far lights is integrated. Short front suspension, large front cockpit and suspended roof make the whole car more sporty. The design of the Song PLUS EV is more bright and concise, and the serious and restrained design is more loved by married people. However, GAC Mitsubishi Atuka has a length, width and height of 4630/1920/1728 mm and a wheelbase of 2830 mm, while the Song PLUS EV has a length, width and height of 4705/1890/1680 mm and a wheelbase of 2765 mm, which is more spacious than GAC Mitsubishi Atuka.
In the interior, GAC Mitsubishi Atuka adopts a combination of full LCD instrument + large-size suspension central control screen, equipped with the latest intelligent interactive cockpit, which can achieve more intelligent voice interaction functions. The new car also features a new three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and knob shift design. In terms of color matching, the use of black and white stitching simple color collocation, with leather and soft materials, more advanced. The interior of the Song PLUS EV is natural and simple, and the color scheme of eclipse blue + sky gray is more fresh and natural. It can only be said that the two are biased in different directions.
In terms of performance, GAC Mitsubishi Atuka is based on a pure electric platform of native aluminum alloy, achieving a weight ratio before and after 50:50, taking into account both sports and comfort. The three-in-one high-performance integrated electric drive has a maximum power of 165 kW, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and a CLTC operating range of 520 km. The Song PLUS EV motor has a total power of 135 kilowatts, a total torque of 280 Nm, and a cruising range of 505 km, which is not as good as GAC Mitsubishi Atuka in this regard. Careful car owners may find it very interesting that gac-Mitsubishi Artucko Pioneer Edition and hardcore cell battery capacity are 71.8 kW h and 69.9 kWh respectively, but the charging time and mileage are inversely proportional to the battery capacity. The pioneer version has a mileage of 500 kilometers, a DC fast charging time of only 32 minutes, a hardcore version of a cruising range of 520 kilometers, and a DC fast charging time of 32 minutes. This may be related to the weight of the battery.
However, it should be noted that GAC Mitsubishi Artuka is only equipped with front airbags and front side airbags, which is too simple compared to other medium- and high-end vehicles with 6 airbags and 8 airbags, but Mitsubishi Motors has always paid little attention to this, which is also expected. And the pioneer version does not have 360-degree panoramic images, and even the hardcore version uses three-link independent suspension, which is a bit strange compared to the independent suspension of five links at every turn. Besides, the Song PLUS EV also comes with a built-in driving recorder that is nearly 20,000 high, and the configuration of GAC Mitsubishi Atuka is so simple that some can't say it.
Perhaps some people consider that the joint venture brand car is already more expensive than the independent brand car, and the high price of GAC Mitsubishi Attuco is normal. But normal does not mean reasonable, after all, consumers do not need a valuable brand, but more need is high-quality products. Moreover, the competition of pure electric vehicles is so fierce, a little careless will be eliminated by the market, Already on the edge of the market Mitsubishi still needs to improve its own cost performance, just engage in some shell labeling and other fake actions is difficult to last.
