Due to a variety of reasons, the recent oil price surge, more consumers will turn their attention to pure electric vehicles. However, the rise in the price of battery raw materials has also led to the price increase of many pure electric vehicles, BYD, GAC Aian, Xiaopeng, Weima and Zero Run and many other car companies' models have risen in less than 2-3,000 yuan, and the models with more prices have exceeded 10,000 yuan, and zero run C11 has even risen by 30,000 yuan, equivalent to 15% of the original price.
This situation makes many people feel confused, if you buy pure electric vehicles now, the price of battery raw materials and vehicles will decline in the future, will you do "leeks"? If you're not in a hurry to use a car, 2022 has several pure electric sedans worth waiting for. They are all eye-catching new cars in the same class, and if you can wait, there may be a more affordable price.
BMW i3
Among the pure electric models worth waiting for in 2022, the BMW i3 is the one that must not be missed. This model is a pure electric version of the BMW 3 Series, which is likely to be unveiled at the launch of BMW's new X5 tonight, and is expected to start scheduling and delivery in May.
The new car adopts the current G28 generation 3 series styling design, and some of the core features of the BMW i brand have also been fully integrated. The new car has a length, width and height of 4872/1846/1481mm, and a wheelbase of 2966mm, which is very close to the data of the current 3 series long axis version, which can provide better rear space.
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. The endurance reached 526 kilometers, and the electricity consumption for 100 kilometers under NEDC conditions was 14.3kWh.
Why is the i3 worth looking forward to? First of all, it is the first pure electric option among the three major medium-sized cars of BBA luxury brands (A4L, Mercedes-Benz C, BMW 3 Series), and compared with BMW's own imported i4 models, the price of i3 must be more attractive. At the same time, the i3 will also become the entry-level pure electric vehicle model in BMW's current market, which is a product worth waiting for for consumers who value brand and luxury experience.
NIO ET5
The second model is the ET5 model from our own high-end brand Niolai in China, which has announced a price of 328,000 yuan for all models and is expected to be delivered in September this year. At present, many electric vehicles are increasing in price, but ET5 still maintains the price announced when it was launched.
The NIO ET5 is a mid-size pure electric sedan that is a competitor to the Tesla Model 3 and BMW's upcoming i3. Previously, when the price of Model 3 did not rise, the competition between the two in price was not obvious, and as the price of Model 3 rose, the two also became direct opponents.
The exterior design of ET5 continues the style of WEILAI ET7, and the family-style X-Bar design language gives the whole car an excellent appearance. The new car is a medium-sized pure electric sedan with a length of 4790/1960/1499mm and a wheelbase of 2888mm.
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.
The reason why WEILAI ET5 is worth looking forward to, on the one hand, is because compared to Model 3 and BMW i3, Weilai's service is more attractive, and the starting configuration of the whole vehicle is higher, and there are also power replacement schemes to choose from, which is more convenient to use and the battery can be upgraded.
The NIO brand has a place in the hearts of many users who favor high-end brands, ET5 reduces the entry price of the NIO brand, which is far more than a new car, and will also expand the consumer group, thereby expanding the overall sales scale of NIO.
BYD seals
AS A new energy manufacturer, BYD has been constantly new cars in recent years, and if it is said that which model is the most popular among many products, then it is Han. This year, BYD will also launch a medium-sized pure electric vehicle - seal, and the market expects it to be as hot as Han. It is expected to be available by June this year.
BYD Seal's design language is a new marine aesthetic, which is very different from the Dragon Face dragon face of the Dynasty series, as well as the current Dolphin, Destroyer 05 and other models. 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 are available in a variety of power versions. 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 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 of all because it is a brand new product under BYD e Platform 3.0, and the overall performance is expected to surpass the Dynasty series. In addition, seal is a wheelbase leapfrog intermediate car, the current market on the market pure electric intermediate car is not much, and the price is around 300,000 yuan, seal cost performance is expected to be higher.
Regarding the price of seals, we judge that its positioning is lower than that of Han EV, which may fill the gap between Qin PLUS EV and Han EV in the intermediate pure electric car, and the expected entry price is not more than 200,000 yuan, if your budget is in this range, then BYD Seal is still a product worth waiting.
Changan New Energy C385
As one of the early car companies to develop new energy vehicles, the performance of Changan New Energy has been tepid, and the only thing that consumers can remember and pay attention to may be the low-cost pure electric scooter of BenBEN EV. With low-cost cars to break into the market, whether it is for the profitability of the company or the brand upwards, Changan has always wanted to come up with a powerful model to reverse the situation, so Changan New Energy C385 (internal code) came into being.
The C385 is designed in a cutting-edge technology style, and the 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, the new car shoulders the heavy responsibility of reversing the situation, which can be said to be a strategic product that achieves a breakthrough in new energy sales, and there should be no weakness.
At present, this model has no price range, power and endurance of any news, if it is not the use of a new brand to high-end products to position, we roughly infer that the new car will become a direct competitor with BYD's seals, 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 of a product is a very worth waiting for.
