On April 21, Changan Automobile's new digital pure electric brand Changan Deep Blue held its first press conference since the establishment of the brand. At this press conference with the theme of in-depth technical interpretation, Changan Deep Blue All-Electric Digital Platform EPA1 was officially released. At the same time, more product information about the first model created on the platform, the Changan Deep Blue C385, was also exposed.
According to reports, the all-electric digital platform is a special platform for electric drives in the form of multi-energy supplementation built by Changan Automobile in five years, which can not only realize the three technical routes of pure electric, extended range and hydrogen fuel cell, but also have the four advantages of high efficiency, high performance, high intelligence and high safety. Thanks to this, Changan Deep Blue's first mass-produced model C385 will also launch a pure electric version, a range extended version and a hydrogen fuel cell version of a total of three power models.
Under CLTC conditions, the C385 pure electric is expected to launch two different versions, of which the battery life-oriented version can reach more than 700 km, while the performance-based version can reach a maximum power of more than 190 kW and the power consumption is as low as 12.3 kWh/100 km or less.
Under the state of full fuel and full power, the comprehensive endurance of CLTC can reach more than 1200km, the pure electric endurance can reach more than 200km, and the fuel consumption of 100 km feed is 4.5L. As China's first mass-produced hydrogen electric car, the C385 hydrogen fuel cell version of clTC can achieve a comprehensive endurance of more than 700km, and the hydrogen consumption per 100 kilometers under the feed state will be as low as 0.65 kg, which can achieve 3 minutes of ultra-fast energy replenishment.
In addition to the battery life information, at this press conference, Deng Chenghao, CEO of Changan New Energy, also announced the body size information and part of the configuration information of the C385. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the C385 are 4820/1890/1480mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. From this size point of view, the C385 will be positioned as a mid-size car, compared to the Tesla Model 3, has a clear body size advantage.
In addition, in terms of wind resistance performance, the wind resistance coefficient of C385 is as low as 0.23Cd, which is equivalent to the level of Tesla Model 3, and it is basically in the leading position in the industry. You know, the Drag Coefficient of the Porsche Taycan is 0.22Cd. In the configuration section, the official C385 will be equipped with the largest 19-inch wheels of the same class, equipped with an electric hatchback door, and the central control screen size of the car is 14.6 inches.
From this series of data and configurations, it is speculated that the competitive market after the listing of the C385 may also be mainly based on the 200,000 level as the main battlefield. Although the current exposure of product information is not very much, but from the four major advantages of the all-electric digital platform in terms of efficiency, performance, intelligence and safety dimensions, the product competitiveness of the new car can not be underestimated.
According to reports, in order to create the ultimate power system drive electrical efficiency, the all-electric digital platform integrates a number of leading technologies such as Chang'an's new generation of super collector electric drive and micro-core high-frequency pulse heating. Among them, under the micro-core pulse heating technology, even in the environment of minus 30 °C, the whole vehicle can achieve a battery temperature increase of 4 °C / min, and the low temperature dynamics can be increased by 50%, further solving the pain points of fast energy consumption and low efficiency of users in winter.
In addition, through the rear-wheel drive + four-wheel drive expansion, the platform is also relatively good in performance. According to reports, the 190kW single motor equipped with the C385 accelerates from 100 kilometers to 5.9 seconds. With the latest generation of dual brake redundancy system and H-arm multi-link independent suspension system, users can also balance the robustness of handling with the comfort of driving.
In addition, the high intelligence that can realize the global speed OTA and high-end intelligent driving ability, as well as the advantages of high safety in batteries, batteries, vehicle data, and body structure, are also expected to be reflected in the C385.
Red Dot Comments: On the whole, it can be expected that under the four advantages of high efficiency, high performance, high intelligence and high safety, as the first model of Changan Deep Blue brand, C385 is likely to continue the "explosive" physique of Changan Automobile in the 200,000-level new energy market and become a popular model in this level of market. Because, as Deng Chenghao said, the all-electric digital platform not only solves the pain points, but also amplifies the cool points.
