Due to a variety of reasons, oil prices have soared recently, and many consumers have begun to turn their attention to pure electric vehicles. However, due to the rapid rise in the price of battery raw materials, many pure electric vehicles have also begun to increase in prices in the past few weeks, including BYD, GAC Aian, Xiaopeng, Weima and zero run and other car companies, the price increase is less than 2-3 thousand yuan, and the models with more prices are tens of thousands of yuan, and the price increase of C11 models with zero runs has even reached 30,000 yuan.
Such a price increase makes many people start to become confused, after all, the price range of new energy vehicles is not worth mentioning compared to the price of oil, and if you buy new energy vehicles at this time, then the price of battery raw materials will also fall in the future. Of course, if you are in urgent need of a car, the price increase may be bad news for you, and you should buy it. If you are not in a hurry, there are many blockbuster models coming in the new energy market after that, let's take a look at which models are worth waiting for in 2022, they are not only eye-catching new products of the same level, but also may wait for more realistic prices.
BMW i3
In 2022, if you want to say that it is worth waiting for pure electric models, the BMW i3 is definitely one of them. This model is a pure electric version of the 3 Series. According to the news that this model is about to be unveiled, it is likely that on the evening of March 32, the launch of BMW's new X5 will be launched, after which the new car will begin scheduling in May and begin to be delivered.
On the outside, the new car adopts the current G28 generation 3 series styling design, while some of the core features of the BMW i brand have also been fully brought in. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4872/1846/1481mm, and the wheelbase is 2966mm, which is very close to the data of the current 3 series long axis version, which will provide better rear space performance.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum torque of 410 N·m, and is expected to be the most powerful model in the three series. The power battery capacity is not disclosed, but the energy density of the battery system is 138Wh/kg. In terms of endurance, the new car reached 526 kilometers, and the electricity consumption of 100 kilometers under working conditions was 14.3kWh.
To say why the i3 is worth looking forward to, first of all, it is the first pure electric optional product in the main medium-sized cars of the three luxury brands of BBA (A4L, Mercedes-Benz C, BMW 3 Series), and compared with BMW's own imported i4 models, the price of the i3 must be more tempting. At the same time, the i3 will also become an entry-level pure electric vehicle model in BMW's current market, and it is a product worth waiting for consumers who want to pursue brand and luxury.
NIO ET5
The second model is the ET5 model from our own high-end brand Niolai, which has announced a price of 328,000 yuan for the entire series and is expected to be delivered in September this year. At present, many car companies are increasing prices, but at present, WEI's ET5 still maintains the price announced when it was listed.
Nio ET5 is positioned as a mid-size pure electric sedan, and the new car is a competitor of the same level as Tesla Model 3 and BMW's upcoming i3 model. Previously, when the price of the Model 3 did not rise, the two were indirect competitors, but as the price of Tesla Model 3 rose, the two also became very direct opponents.
ET5 in terms of appearance can be said to continue the design style of WEILAI ET7, and the family X-Bar design language gives the whole car an excellent appearance. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4790/1960/1499mm and a wheelbase of 2888mm, positioning itself as a medium-sized pure electric sedan.
In terms of power, the ET5 is equipped with two motors in front and rear, equipped with an intelligent four-wheel drive system as standard, the maximum power of the motor is 150kW and 210kW, the maximum total output power of the system is 360kW, the maximum total output torque is 700N.m, and the acceleration time from zero to 100 kilometers is 4.3 seconds. In terms of endurance, depending on the battery capacity selected, CLTC models with a range of 550 km, 700 km and more than 1000 km are respectively available.
This model is worth looking forward to is that compared to the Model 3 and BMW i3, Weilai must be higher than the first two opponents in terms of service, and the starting configuration of the whole vehicle is also higher than that of the opponent, in addition to the blessing of power exchange technology, the convenience of use of ET5 is also increased, and the late battery scalability is the highlight of the new car.
I believe that the Weilai brand still has a certain status in the hearts of many consumers, before the higher price of Weilai's products, many consumers who like this brand can only continue to work hard, and the arrival of ET5 can be said to reduce the entry price of the entire brand, its significance is far from a model so simple, but can allow more consumers to buy Weilai, expand the market ownership and continue to enhance the brand influence.
BYD seals
As a new energy manufacturer, BYD can be said to be a new product in recent years, if in many products which model is the most popular among consumers, then it is not Han. However, this year, BYD will also launch a medium-sized pure electric vehicle - Seal, I believe that after the launch of this model, its popularity may not be less than that of Han. At present, the official map of this model has been released, and it is expected that the real car will meet with us soon and is expected to be launched before June this year.
Bydir Seal's design language should be a new marine aesthetic, very different from dynasty Dragon Face dragon face, and current models such as Dolphin and Destroyer 05. The lines on the side of the body are coherent and elegant, and the hidden door handles and the large five-spoke low wind resistance wheels are very popular pure electric vehicle design elements. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the seal are 4800/1875/1460mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm, which can be compared with the medium and large Car Han EV of nearly 5 meters.
In the power section, BYD SEALs will have a variety of power versions to choose from. The single-motor model is expected to be driven by a rear motor for the first time, and the low-power version will be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous drive motor with a maximum power of 150 kW, and the high-power version will have a maximum power of 230 kW. In addition, the dual-motor four-wheel drive version will be equipped with a front-mounted 160kW AC asynchronous motor and a rear-mounted 230kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, and the battery life is unknown.
The reason why BYD seals are worth looking forward to is first because seals are a new product under BYD e platform 3.0, and it is expected to surpass the Dynasty series of products in terms of overall performance. In addition, seal is a wheelbase leapfrog mid-size car products, the current market in the consumer can choose to buy "affordable" pure electric medium-sized sedan is not much, just we mentioned above the three products (i3, ET5, Model 3) although it is medium-sized but the price is either more than 300,000, or the price is close to 300,000 yuan, BYD cost-effective will certainly be higher than the above opponents.
In addition, regarding the price of seals, we judge that its positioning will be lower than that of The Han EV model. In the future, seals may be to fill the gap between Qin PLUS EV and Han EV lack of a medium-sized pure electric sedan, the entry price is expected not to exceed 200,000 yuan, if your budget is in this range, then BYD seal is still a very worthy product.
Changan New Energy C385
Changan Automobile, the earliest development of new energy, its new energy products can be said to be tepid in the market, but consumers may only remember and pay attention to the low-cost pure electric scooter of Ben EV. To break into the market with low-cost products, whether it is for profit growth or brand upwards is unfavorable, at this time it is necessary to use a strength product to reverse the market, so Changan New Energy C385 (internal code) came into being.
The new C385 is designed in a cutting-edge technology style, and the whole vehicle uses a large number of sharp lines, which is very aggressive. Judging from the details revealed in the picture, the front face of the new car adopts a grilleless design, split headlights, and the front cover has a large bulge to create a sense of strength. Concealed door handles, two-tone low-wind resistance wheels, and blackened window trims have been added to the sides. The body size has not yet been officially revealed, but it is certain that the new car positioning will be a B-class sports car.
The reason why this model is worth looking forward to is very simple, first of all, Changan New Energy started earlier and has a certain accumulation in technology. In addition, because Changan New Energy's previous products have almost no heat in the market, new cars may shoulder the heavy responsibility of reversing the situation, which can be said to be a strategic product to achieve a breakthrough in new energy sales, and there should be no weakness.
Because at present, this model has no price range, power and any news in terms of endurance, if it is not the use of a new brand to position high-end products, we roughly infer that the new car will become a direct competitor with BYD's seal, two products two styles, if you have the intention of buying a medium-sized pure electric vehicle, then Changan New Energy C385 is only from the appearance point of view is a very worthy of waiting for the product.
