As a representative of the micro-electric vehicle sales have been high, just released in the March sales list of electric vehicles, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is still at the top of the list, Chery QQ ice cream, Changan Ben EV and other micro-electric vehicles have also climbed to the top 15 positions of the list. This market potential has attracted many manufacturers to join it, Changan in order to enhance the competitiveness of its brand at this level, launched a new car with a more pleasing appearance - Changan LUMIN (glutinous corn), the day before yesterday, Changan announced the official map of the new car and some parameters on the Internet.
Unlike the boxy appearance of the MINI EV, the overall waxy corn is biased towards a rounded and cute simple design style, without using too many line decorations, just through a simple curved surface is enough to create a cute and cute feeling. The new car is 3270/1700/1545mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 1980mm, and the body width has obvious advantages over the MINI EV, but the wheelbase is shorter than the MINI EV. At the same time, the new car will be available in 7 different colors, and most of them are the current popular Morandi colors.
The front design of the glutinous corn is different from the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, and does not use blackened trim panels to create the feeling of the front grille of the fuel car, but adopts a more integrated design, but retains the air intake of the air conditioner below, the round headlights add the design of the eyelid cover, and the middle of the two headlights is the logo of the new car, making the front face cute and playful.
The side of the new car is similar to the Japanese K-CAR square shape as a whole, and the A and C pillars have been blackened to create a feeling of suspension on the roof, and the front and rear wheel arches are slightly raised to enhance the three-dimensional sense of the side. The new car also features the first hidden door handle of its class, which makes the side design more integrated while optimizing the wind resistance coefficient of the whole vehicle. The waxy corn is equipped with 14-inch wheels, but also has a closed shape of the hub cover, maintaining the same design style while adding some highlights to the monotonous side design.
At present, Chang'an officials have only released the appearance pictures of glutinous corn, and the interior has not yet been officially announced, but we can still find out from the previous online streaming interior spy photos.
It can be seen from the spy photos that the waxy corn not only uses an LCD instrument, but also is equipped with the only central control screen at the same level, considering the positioning of the new car, I don't know whether the car machine can run smoothly and have some intelligent functions. The interior assembly color is estimated to use the colors of the models that are close to each other to echo each other, and it is hoped that the number of interior colors of the new car can be consistent with the body. The steering wheel adopts a three-frame design, the central control retains the air conditioning, audio and other physical knob buttons, there is a USB interface below, it is estimated that the front row will use the same connected design as the MINI EV.
In terms of power, the new car will provide single motor and dual motor versions, the maximum power of the motor is 30kW, the battery is provided by the lithium iron phosphate battery pack for the Ningde era, and the endurance has two versions of 155 km and 210 km, compared with other brands of micro-electric vehicles with a battery life of 200 to 300 now, this endurance is a bit insufficient.
Although the sales volume of Changan Benben EV is good, but after all, it is oil to electricity, and can not play the biggest advantage of electric vehicles, Changan in order to compete with MINI EV, need a new micro electric vehicle, so glutinous corn came into being. Changan has worked the naming and design of the model of glutinous corn, and there are many bright places in the configuration, and the cute appearance is believed to attract the attention of many young sisters. At present, the information released by the new car is less, and whether Changan glutinous corn can compete with the Wuling Hongguang MINI EV still depends on the specific configuration and price of the new car.
