When it comes to entry-level electric vehicles, we have to mention Hongguang MINIEV, which has created a market segment called MINIEV, making the original extremely cheap "old man music" become street fashion.
But Hongguang MINIEV is like a beautiful lie, Hongguang MINIEV entry model is also 30,000-40,000, sounds very tempting, but it just castrates the most important safety components of the car, such as replacing a large number of vehicle-grade parts with household appliances, its basic model even the main and co-pilot airbags have been removed, as for the more cost-consuming high-strength steel body, you don't want to think, anyway, the naked eye can not see.
Come out of the mix, sooner or later are to be returned. Today, the entry-level electric vehicle market has ushered in a new member of the smart-looking, stylish interior, and the key to safety and quality hanging Hongguang MINIEV - Changan LUMIN Chinese called "glutinous corn".
Here, by the way, to tell you a knowledge point, LUMIN comes from Changan's latest EPA pure electric platform, this alone, LUMIN is higher than the "oil to electricity", no matter how to dress up is always or micro-noodle flavor of the Hongguang MINIEV is much higher. In addition, LUMIN is not only the product name of a car, but the brand name, and LUMIN will launch other model versions in the future.
Lumin body size 3200/1700/1545 (mm), wheelbase of 1980mm, 0.91 aspect ratio brings two major benefits: one is a more coordinated body posture, and the other is a low center of gravity design to provide a better driving experience.
Lumin is the mainstream of this type of car, LUMIN is no exception, but the obedience is also divided into two kinds, one is natural obedience, one is force obedience, LUMIN belongs to the natural obedience - small fresh body color, hidden door handles, double color suspension roof are all design elements that young hipsters like. Known as the "Kazilan Big Eyes", the laser-carved headlights and taillights are super "cute", and some models also have a welcome function - is there a sense of pleasure that can smell the curls when standing a meter away?
Lumin's interior is like a large gift box, the center control, steering wheel, seats have added a GIFT-like packaging belt, don't mothers want this sense of refinement and fashion. It is worth mentioning that LUMIN is equipped with a 7-inch LCD instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch HIGH-definition central control touch screen, which supports Bluetooth and mobile phone interconnection. In addition, lumin's steering wheel also has voice control keys, similar to navigation, I want to go home and other common functions can be achieved through this operation, the convenience of use has been improved by another notch.
Although the LUMIN is a micro-electric vehicle, its spatial performance exceeded my expectations. The concave design of the two sides of the car allows for more lateral space inside the car, and the wide doors and the design of the co-driver seat that can be quickly folded manually allow you to maintain a good posture when entering and leaving the second row. In addition, in the four-seat state, the LUMIN trunk volume is 104L, and it is completely fine to put a 20-inch cabin case, and if the second row of seats 5/5 is lowered, the trunk space is expanded to 580L, which is comparable to the trunk level of the current larger compact SUV.
Compared with visual pleasure and practicality, safety is the biggest highlight of LUMIN, don't look at it has a soft name, but it actually uses a high-strength steel energy-absorbing body, the left and right doors are also added to the 1 meter high-strength steel anti-collision beam, and the body, anti-collision beam These invisible parts happen to be the easiest place to save costs for tens of thousands of cars. Probably Changan has too much confidence in the quality of LUMIN, so it gives "a 3-year / 120,000-kilometer warranty for the whole vehicle and an 8-year/ 120,000-kilometer warranty commitment for the three-electric system".
LUMIN has 12.92kWh and 17.56kWh two sets of power battery versions, CLTC operating range of 155 km and 210 km respectively, such a level of endurance is fully satisfied with urban commuting, even if you drive it out to get a short drive there is no pressure.
To sum up, LUMIN has three highlights, one is the appearance is well-behaved, stylish, and the atmosphere in the car is completely free from the earthy and cheap taste of the current micro electric car; the second is the high configuration, the whole series is equipped with an EPS intelligent steering system to improve the performance of the operation and the NBooster kinetic energy recovery system that integrates HHC ramp auxiliary functions; third, the safety standards are high, which has been interpreted in detail above and will not be repeated.
As an entry-level scooter, the price is still the focus of everyone's attention, it is revealed that LUMIN will be listed in May, when a surprise price will be given. Of course, this is not a good thing for MacroMINTV, because its pink bubbles are probably punctured quickly with cheap, even at the expense of basic safety quality.
