The new Z03 has been adjusted for configuration, price and car system, the price has risen, but the functions are further enriched, in today's 3 configurations we mainly analyze, belongs to the 2022 Chaozhi Edition 620KM has a relatively large functional improvement, a higher level of intelligence, and a slightly higher overall cost performance. As a compact pure electric SUV product, Hechuang Z03 faces many competitors in the market, among which BYD Yuan PLUS, Geometry C and AION Y are all within the same price range as it and have a direct competitive relationship.
From the sales point of view, the sales data of the car in January and February this year are 629 units and 491 units, the monthly sales volume is only three-digit level, while the sales data of the brother model Aion Y in January and February is 6413 units and 2986 units, the gap between the two is very obvious, it seems that "son" still can not do "Lao Tzu". In addition, Uncle Che has previously made an in-depth introduction to Aion AION Y, the model formaldehyde and TVOC harmful substances seriously exceed the standard, poor product quality, so the final opinion given by Uncle Che to Z03 is: Do not buy!
