■ Bang reviews
For the Changan LUMIN car, it is not only a new car developed using the new pure electric platform of Changan EPA0, but also a new product brand under the Changan Automobile system, so in addition to its own quality and market competitiveness, we also need to see what empowerment it can provide for Changan Automobile at the brand level.
If you look at the product itself, Changan LUMIN is a delicate car with high-quality appearance, configuration and function, and many configurations are even rare at the same level. Therefore, we are still more optimistic about it in the mini car market, competing with Hongguang MINIEV, QQ Ice Cream, Zero Run T03 and other models.
From the brand level, because Changan Automobile is currently accelerating its transformation to "new car + new ecology", its passenger car business needs to develop in the direction of innovation, diversification and differentiation. Changan LUMIN not only adopts a new pure electric technology platform, but also the first new marketing model landing product, so I think Changan LUMIN will become an important test and key cornerstone for the transformation of Changan Automobile's brand.
