Under the trend of the collective transformation of the automotive industry in the field of new energy, more and more car companies have begun the development of new energy vehicles, and the competition for household pure electric SUVs, pure electric coupes and other models is particularly fierce, and the micro-areas dedicated to passenger transportation/ logistics, although the competition is small, have also begun the transformation of new energy, and more new energy models have been continuously introduced.
Recently, Dongfeng Xiaokang's 2022 Xiaokang EC36 officially listed, the new model launched this time has two versions of the choice, their main difference is the battery brand, the new car can choose Ningde era battery and Guoxuan hi-tech battery, in addition, the two models have no other difference, the price of both versions of the model is 129,800 yuan. In addition, the new car is also available in 6-seater and 7-seat models. Let's talk about how this car is.
As an annual facelift, the new car is highly consistent with the old model in terms of appearance and other aspects. Although the car belongs to the pure electric version, the front grille part of the car is still the same as the traditional micro-surface model with a hollow grille design, with some slots and the brand logo in the middle. The front face of this car is more square, the front grille is more atmospheric, and it looks very tough.
The design of the side is also very simple, in order to improve the utilization of the space inside the car, its design is very square, mainly using some through-style lines, showing some hard feeling, but also the use of sliding doors, while through the black window and other details, to create a floating roof feeling, slightly increased a little sense of fashion.
From the rear, it is still a square formal design, and the through-style lines and vertical headlights on both sides increase the visual width of the entire tail. As a model that focuses on practicality, the shape design of Dongfeng Xiaokang EC36 as a whole highlights a simple and unpretentious one.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the vehicle are 4500x1680x2000mm, and the wheelbase is 3050mm. In addition to providing a 2+2+3 seven-seat layout, the new car also adds a 6-seat version for consumers to choose.
In terms of interior, this car does not have a particular sense of technology and fashion. The central control part is relatively simple, the car uses a lot of knobs and button design, the convenience of use of various functions can be well guaranteed, the seat uses fabric material, the steering wheel grip is good, there is basically no problem with the operation, overall, the interior design is decent.
In terms of configuration, the 2022 Xiaokang EC36 provides two models, the configuration level and price of the two models are the same, and the difference is only the battery supplier. As standard equipment, both models can provide front door power windows, reversing radar, remote control central control lock, main driver airbags and other equipment. Of course, for the sake of driving safety, consumers can choose to install equipment such as driving recorders after purchasing a car to improve safety.
In terms of power, the 2022 Xiaokang EC36 is equipped with a rear-mounted single motor, with a maximum power of 60 kilowatts and a peak torque of 200 Nm. No matter which battery brand is chosen, the comprehensive operating condition pure electric mileage of the new car is 300 kilometers. This value may be very short compared to other electric vehicles, but as a city or short-distance passenger transport/logistics, it is enough, if it is to carry out long-distance transportation, it will certainly not choose such a space capacity, after all, running once can not bring much stuff.
summary:
Pure electric micro-surface compared to the traditional fuel micro-surface does not have many advantages, first of all, the endurance, although basically enough, but if you encounter holidays and other situations, it is likely to have endurance anxiety during transportation. The second is the price problem, compared to the fuel micro-surface model, the price of the pure electric version has increased a lot, originally to save oil money, and now the purchase cost is enough to add oil many times, which may be difficult for individual users to accept for the purpose of delivery. It is hoped that its subsequent optimization of price and design can be optimized to better meet market demand.
