So far, The Hongguang MINIEV, which has been on the market for less than two years, has achieved cumulative sales of more than 680,000 vehicles, becoming a real "people's scooter". The hot sales of Hongguang MINIEV have also attracted the attention of many car companies, and there are also many models that imitate the pricing, design, or naming of Hongguang MINIEV, such as punk Duoduo, Reading Mango, Chery QQ ice cream, and Dongfeng Scenery MINIEV. From the current audience of the above models, I think QQ ice cream can be regarded as a success, you can see that this car has easily achieved four-digit monthly sales since entering the market, not only that, in January and March this year, this car has achieved more than 10,000 monthly sales, and the sales ranking in the market is second only to Hongguang MINIEV, it can be seen that QQ ice cream is indeed successful.
From another point of view, in the case of Hongguang MINIEV monthly sales of tens of thousands of vehicles, QQ ice cream can also achieve monthly sales of more than 10,000 vehicles, it can be seen that the corresponding audience group in this market is not many, and because of this, the new cars in the market are also endless, and the Chang'an glutinous corn we want to talk about today is one of them. It is understood that the glutinous corn belongs to the new LUMIN brand of Changan Automobile, based on the new pure electric platform of Changan EPA0, positioned as a "national boutique scooter", and is expected to be listed and delivered in June-July this year. However, I am still skeptical about whether it can become the strength of Hongguang MINIEV and QQ Ice Cream.
From the appearance point of view, the waxy corn jumped out of the shape of the hongguang MINIEV small box, like the front face part, the closed front face adopts a rounded design, the large size of the front bumper middle, through the line to create a separate area, and embedded in the flat shape of the black lower grille. Large size of circular headlights are embedded in both ends of the cover, the inner circular light source above, but also designed "small eyelids", I think Changan's original intention may be to make the waxy corn look more sharp, spirit, but now it seems that some eyelids shrugged the visual effect, but it reduces the spirit. In addition, although the shadow of the Macro MINIEV cannot be seen from the front part of the car, the shadow of euler black cat can be faintly seen.
The design of the body side is not complicated, the white roof and black load-bearing column design, and similar to the BMW MINI, the single-open door uses hidden door handles, and the bottom is also engraved with a straight low waist line. The taillight shape of the rear of the car is consistent with the headlights, and the artistic logo of the Changan LUMIN brand is inlaid in the middle, which will not be contrary to look. In addition, the layering of the rear of the car is quite rich, making the new car more stable.
The interior design is not complicated, in addition to the common black, waxy corn also uses blue, white, gray, to enhance the color richness of the car. The three-frame multi-function steering wheel periphery seems to have been refined, the colorful LCD instrument screen stands in front of the steering wheel, and the right side also provides a 10.25-inch LCD central control screen, and a built-in voice interaction system, many on-board functions can be controlled by speaking. Looking down, you can see the black air conditioner outlet of the through-style, and below is the air conditioning control panel that retains the physical control buttons, which in addition to being suitable for blind operation, also enhances the exquisite sense of the car.
From the perspective of size, waxy corn has 3270/1700/1545mm three circumference, 1980mm wheelbase, compared with 3200/1670/1550mm three-dimensional, 2150mm wheelbase Chery small ants, you can find that the three dimensions of waxy corn have certain advantages, although the wheelbase will be slightly inferior, but the gap with Hongguang MINIEV is not large, but it can also meet the daily scooter travel.
As for the power, the new car may be equipped with a single motor and a dual motor, equipped with lithium iron phosphate battery packs provided by the Ningde era, and bring two versions of 155km and 210km, and may also provide a high-endurance version of 301km in the future. To be honest, the advantages of such endurance in the mini car market are not small, but Hongguang MINIEV has now ushered in a model with a range of 300km, so I think the high-endurance version of glutinous corn has also played a key role in enhancing product competitiveness.
In summary, the waxy corn in the appearance, interior part of the design, or has its own characteristics, if the price of glutinous corn within 50,000 yuan, coupled with the size of this car, endurance, and intelligence, I think it is not difficult to reach the current audience height of QQ ice cream. But to be honest, in many product strengths, glutinous corn can compete with small ants that cost more than 50,000 yuan, so I think the top price of the new car may exceed 50,000 yuan.
