In the field of fuel vehicles, Changan Automobile ushered in its own highlight moment in March, the wholesale volume exceeded that of the north and south Volkswagen, becoming the new champion, not only proving its own strength, but also fighting for its own brand, breaking the myth of the undefeated joint venture brand.
However, in the field of new energy, the situation of Changan Automobile is extremely embarrassing, and the entire Changan New Energy relies only on the support of the E-Star car, and its cumulative sales in the whole of 2021 are only 763.81 million. The other three new energy models sold were converted from CS and Yidong series, all of which were mainly based on "oil to electricity", and the competitiveness of the products was simply insufficient. Chang'an has opened a huge gap with the Great Wall and Geely in the new energy sector.
However, some time ago, a new car that has not yet been released by Changan New Energy has triggered a hot discussion among consumers, that is, Changan New Energy's LUMIN "glutinous corn", and recently Changan Guanwei has also released more information about "glutinous corn", from the positioning of its "national travel boutique car" and Changan's recent publicity attitude to this, Changan has high hopes for "glutinous corn".
Judging from the name of glutinous corn, Chang'an New Energy is indeed ingenious enough, no weaker than Euler's good cat, black cat, and even just listening to the name gives people a fresh and soft feeling, which is very in line with the positioning of glutinous corn A00 mini car. And the name of waxy corn can be impressive only once heard, and the name of the cute attribute also has a certain appeal to the mainstream consumer group of A00, which is worthy of praise.
On the outside, the waxy corn looks as cute as a cute pet. The front face adopts a closed grille, the left and right sides use circular headlights, and there are even light eyebrows above the interior, which is indeed very similar to two large eyes. In the middle of the two headlights is the black "LUMIN" logo, and at the bottom is a black inverted trapezoidal front surround, like a slightly open mouth, with the left and right headlights together, very much like a face. The entire front face design of the waxy corn is indeed very creative and anthropomorphic, but the line treatment of the front face and the design of the concave underneath make the vehicle slightly lacking in aesthetics.
From the side of the waxy corn, you can see the structure of the two-door body and tailgate used by the vehicle. Because of the straight top design, the vehicle as a whole looks like a small box. Surprisingly, the door handle of the vehicle is hidden, which undoubtedly makes the waxy corn look more trendy.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the waxy corn are 3270/1700/1545mm, and the wheelbase is 1980mm, which has certain advantages in length and width compared with the A00-class veteran Players Hongguang MINI EV and Chery Ant, which also means that its internal space will be more sufficient, which is very important for an A00-class model.
Although Chang'an officials did not personally announce its interior, it has also been exposed before. As can be seen from the picture, the interior of the waxy corn has a suspension central control screen and a suspension LCD instrument, and the steering wheel is also a multi-functional steering wheel. Under the central control screen is a few physical buttons and knobs, in addition to the entire interior and no other collocation, although the overall simple, but in the two screens and steering wheel background, the sense of technology is still there.
In terms of power, it is reported that glutinous corn will provide single motor and dual motor versions, the maximum power of the motor is 30 kilowatts, the dual motor version is equipped with two motors with the same power, the maximum speed of the new car can reach 101 km / h, equipped with lithium iron phosphate battery pack in the Ningde era.
On the battery life, the waxy corn provides two versions with a range of 155 km and 210 km. This mileage is very similar to the Hongguang MINI EV, the 155 km model corresponds to the ordinary version of the Hongguang MINI EV, while the 210 km model corresponds to the Gameboy version of the Hongguang MINI EV 200 endurance, Changan Is to compete with the Hongguang MINI EV for the mini car market. From the hidden door handle and the interior of the two large screens, the waxy corn is likely to be from the technology configuration to crush the Hongguang MINI EV, and this will inevitably lead to an increase in price, so in terms of price, the starting price of the 155 km model of glutinous corn is likely to be around 40,000-50,000, and the 210 km model is likely to be priced at 60,000. If so, who do you think is more appealing to consumers?
