As the competition in the online ride-hailing market continues to intensify, car companies as vehicle suppliers want to grab more orders, after all, this is more time-saving and labor-saving than selling cars to ordinary consumers and the number is enough. In order to reduce operating costs, today's online ride-hailing cars are basically pure electric vehicles, and there are basically no private cars running on the road. Personally, I still like the previous ride-hailing market, after all, every time I call a car, there will be surprises, sometimes it will be a car, sometimes it will be an SUV, and even a luxury brand, but that era should not appear again.
On March 28, Dongfeng Motor officially launched a new model, the Dongfeng Fukang ES600, which is aimed at the online ride-hailing market, with a guidance price of 153,800 yuan. At the same time, after the car was listed, the scene signed on-site contracts with a number of companies, and a total of 30,000 new car orders have been accepted, and I believe that it will not be long before we can see this car running on the road.
Because it is oriented to the travel market, so the appearance of this aspect is not the focus of consideration, but Dongfeng Motor is also very convenient, this Fukang ES600 directly applies the shell of peugeot 408, so whether it is the overall outline or design language, it looks extremely familiar. However, the Beverly Wilshire ES600 still made a little modification, such as the use of a closed air intake grille, the surface is also covered with blue star decorative parts, after opening you can see the corresponding charging port.
In addition to the appearance, the interior of the car is also a basic replica of the 408, in addition to adding a large screen, replacing the LOGO and replacing a knob-type electronic gear shift mechanism, the rest of the places are basically consistent with the 408. Although it is a car for the travel market, the design of such a shell-changing nesting doll is still somewhat difficult to accept.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the car are 4750*1820*1518mm, and the wheelbase is 2730mm. There are not too many problems with the space inside the car, after all, the original Peugeot 408 is a family car with excellent comfort. It is also very suitable to use it to become a ride-hailing car.
In terms of power, Dongfeng Fukang ES600 uses a drive motor with a maximum power of 110 kilowatts, equipped with a ternary lithium battery of 53.59 kWh and a cruising range of 430 kilometers. To tell the truth, I originally thought that the "600" in the name of the car represented the mileage, but I did not expect that the real endurance was only 430km.
In addition, the motor power and mileage in the online car market is only the middle and lower reaches of the level, can not be called excellent, after all, for this kind of operating vehicle, 430km to the end of the head is only about 300km of real mileage, it is just enough to meet the needs of a day. In terms of charging, due to the fact that charging at night will be cheaper, so many online car drivers will choose to charge at night, Dongfeng Fukang ES600 supports DC fast charging, 30%-80% of the time is about 36 minutes.
In the online car market, the platform is first to consider reducing operating costs, although the price of 153,800 yuan in our view is very outrageous, but it is quite acceptable for the travel platform, and Dongfeng Motor also provides 8 years and 600,000 kilometers of three electric warranties, which means that the most expensive things do not need to worry, at least before returning to the cost.
For passengers, riding comfort is very important, will directly affect the next time consumers call for a car will continue to choose the same platform, thanks to the set of Peugeot 408 shell, so there will not be too many problems in riding. As for the driver, this does not matter much, after all, as a party to the service, the car must continue to drive if it does not work.
