On April 21, Changan Automobile's new digital pure electric brand, Changan Deep Blue, made its debut, and also brought its first mass-produced model, the Changan Deep Blue C385.
As the first model under the Changan Deep Blue All-Electric Digital Platform, the C385 provides a variety of power systems, among which the pure electric version has a comprehensive cruising range of more than 700km, a maximum power of more than 190 kilowatts, and a maximum acceleration time of 5.9s per 100 km; a comprehensive endurance of more than 1200km, a pure electric endurance of more than 200km, and a feed fuel consumption of less than 4.5L/100km; a hydrogen fuel cell version with a comprehensive endurance of more than 700km and a hydrogen feed consumption as low as 0.65kg/100km. 3 minutes quick refill.
In terms of body size, the C385 has a figure of 4820/1890/1480mm, a wheelbase of 2900mm, an aspect ratio of 0.78 and a shaft length ratio of 0.6. The body data is larger than the Model 3, and the wheelbase has exceeded the standard of B-class cars, almost reaching the level of C-class cars.
Through the overall optimization of the overall aerodynamics of the body, the C385 has a drag coefficient as low as 0.23Cd, which is comparable to the Model 3 level with the support of the sneakback body, sports kit, hidden door handle, closed aerodynamic wheels and other configurations.
The interior part, according to the picture, the new car is equipped with a full LCD instrument and a semi-suspended central touch screen, which looks like the size of the screen is not small. Infrared face recognition is also integrated on the two-frame steering wheel to prevent fatigue driving. It is worth noting that the new car does not seem to have a traditional gear handle, and it is estimated that it will adopt a pocket gear design.
It is worth mentioning that the Changan Deep Blue C385 will also be equipped with an intelligent vehicle domain controller (Changan smart core) and a smart cockpit domain controller (Qualcomm 8155 chip), and support the vehicle OTA upgrade, the size of the central control screen will reach 14.6 inches; at the same time, the intelligent driving controller of the new car has 27 sensing components, and the highest level of L4 automatic driving can be achieved.
It is understood that the reason why C385 can have such excellent performance is inseparable from its birth platform EPA1. EPA1 all-electric digital platform is a special platform for electric drives in the form of multi-energy supplementation that has been honed over five years, with multiple attributes: including the electrical efficiency of the extreme power system drive; the high performance of the four-wheel drive in the future; the high intelligence based on the domain-controlled electronic and electrical architecture; and the high security of the three-layer protection of the core car cloud.
At the same time, the EPA1 platform also launched for the first time to improve the experience of low-temperature car micro-core high-frequency pulse heating, through random frequency conversion IGBT opening and closing control and high-frequency pulse and NVH balance algorithm, in the -30 °C environment, the vehicle's low temperature dynamics increased by 50%, low temperature charging time shortened by 15%, greatly alleviating the experience of electric vehicles in extremely cold weather.
We also learned that Changan New Energy will become the operating platform of the Changan Deep Blue brand, the Deep Blue brand is mainly for young new energy users, there are currently five planned models, in addition to the launch of the first model C385 this year, C673 will also be released in 2022.
Final summary: With the continuous deepening of the entire new energy vehicle market, the newly launched products have been significantly improved in technology and intelligence, etc., it can be said that it is more than enough to meet daily needs. However, for new energy vehicles, such as Changan Deep Blue C385 and Changan Deep Blue All-Electric Digital Platform, they are pursuing vehicle performance in the extreme environment, in addition to pursuing stronger and more efficient energy consumption performance, while the pure electricity, range extender, and hydrogen fuel arranged by it are all developing in an all-round way, and the future can be expected.
