Not long ago, smart's new model Genie #1 was officially launched, and then announced that it will be officially launched on April 25, and as its old rival MINI, it naturally does not want to be at a disadvantage. Recently, we obtained a set of road test photos about the domestic pure electric MINI, which will be produced by the beam car jointly invested by Great Wall Motors and BMW, and it is reported that it will be officially launched within this year.
In terms of appearance, it can be seen that the new car still retains the round headlights and oval front grille, but the new car has a closed design to show its different identity, but the whole still has a high degree of recognition. In addition, the turn signals of the new car will be located in the middle of the headlight group, which is different from the design of the current MINI.
On the side, the new car is still a classic two-door design, and it does not directly cancel the two-door version of the model like smart. In terms of body size, it is reported that the length of the new car will be slightly shorter than the current MINI, but it will increase in the wheelbase, which means that its interior space will be improved.
In terms of the rear, the new car will be equipped with a new style of taillight design, which is more technological than the current model, but its interior still seems to use British rice flag elements, and its tail trim will be printed with words such as "COOPER" or "COOPER S". In terms of power, at present, the official has no relevant information to disclose, referring to the overseas version of the model its mileage is 300-400km, it is not excluded that the domestic version of the model will be improved in terms of endurance.
The editor said: All along, the price of MINI models due to the import status can be described as "high", and more is the existence of some user toys. Now with the domestic smart listing is imminent, this MINI jointly produced by the Great Wall and BMW is also coming, these two old rivals can be regarded as a collision, one side is an innovative four doors, the other side is the traditional double door, both are launched with pure electric power, in the end who will be more favored by users? At the same time, MINI is based on a new beam car, can the brand be recognized in the market?
