Speaking of smart, it is believed that people who like it are powerless to resist, and people who don't like it will be indifferent. And when smart plus pure electric label, can more people like it? I believe the answer is close, smart genie #1 as a pure electric small SUV, tonight (April 25) will be available soon.
The difference between the previous smart models is that in addition to the identity of pure electric vehicles, smart genie #1 also has the identity of "hybrid", that is, this car is built from the Geely Haohan SEA architecture (pure electric exclusive architecture). Simply put, the design of Mercedes-Benz coupled with Geely's technology, this is smart genie #1. The new question is, how many people will pay for such a smart?
Can the vast SEA architecture hold up the banner of technology?
In fact, in my opinion, it is reasonable for a model like smart to launch a pure electric version, after all, new energy has become an outlet. Again, pure electric cars will be the big trend, so the pure electric version of smart is a product that conforms to the times.
Pure electric is not a problem, the question is, with Mercedes-Benz noble "bloodline" smart, plus Geely technology, how many people will recognize? In other words, will this "mash-up" affect the market performance of Smart Genie #1?
First, let's take a brief look at the vast SEA architecture. As early as the eve of last year's Beijing Auto Show, Geely officially released the Haohan SEA architecture, and the Krypton 001, which we are familiar with, is the first model under the exclusive platform of pure electricity. Today, Smart Genie #1 will also be built on that architecture. Speaking of the vast SEA architecture, it has a three-layer architecture of hardware layer, system layer and ecological layer, that is to say, from hardware to software to peripheral derivation, it is all covered in the whole region. For example, models based on this architecture have wheelbases from 1800mm to 3300mm, and the entire architecture is only for pure electric vehicles, which is the so-called exclusive platform. According to the official, the Haohan SEA architecture is the world's largest bandwidth intelligent pure electric architecture, but also has the world's most efficient intelligent electric vehicle solutions.
From the perspective of "pattern", the vast SEA architecture is large enough, and the degree of technical hard core is bound to be not low, that is, the support is enough. To say "short board", it may be the recognition and acceptance of most consumers. But then again, in the field of new energy, many things are starting from "zero", it is not like the era of fuel vehicles, there is a difference between coming and going, precipitation. Therefore, I personally believe that Geely's deep cultivation in this regard is not technical, but the support of heavy models. For now, smart genie #1 is a good place to start.
Highlights about smart genie #1
Well, back to the model itself, regarding the highlights of smart genie #1, I think it is mainly focused on both design and pure electricity. The first is the design, Mercedes-Benz, and combined with the smart consistent tonality, I believe that the value will not "drop". Again, on the issue of aesthetics, everyone's standards are different. Personally, the smart genie #1 looks decent, frameless doors plus hidden door handles, and is a five-door, five-seat design, combining personality and practicality well.
In terms of interior, thanks to the blessing of the large screen, the physical buttons are greatly simplified, and the sense of technology is in place. What's more, in the smart genie #1 car, we saw a lot of Mercedes design elements, such as the texture of the seats, the layout of the center console, the effect of the mood light, and so on. We mentioned practicality earlier, so there's one detail I'd like to talk about. Smart Genie #1 adopts the design of the front and rear double luggage, the front volume is 15L, the rear conventional volume is 323L, because the rear seats can slide forward and backward, so the conventional trunk volume can be extended to 411L, and in the state of the rear seats are down, the space performance of 986L can be achieved. For a small SUV with a length of 4 meters and a wheelbase of 2750mm, the carrying space is not small. And the actual rear space, wait until we see the real car, and then draw conclusions.
Looking at the "pure electricity" part, smart genie #1 really surprised me, this 4 meter 2 small car, "stuffed" 66 kWh battery pack (ternary lithium battery), and the maximum power of 200kW motor (rear single motor). According to official data, the smart genie #1 has a zero-hundred-hundred acceleration time of 6.7 seconds and a CLTC range of 560km. It is worth mentioning that in the slow charge mode, the power from 10% to 80% takes 7.5 hours, while in the fast charge mode (150kW), the time will be shortened to 30 minutes.
Ah Chuan commented on the car
Based on geely technology to create a pure electric version of smart, will you pay? In my opinion, the people who choose smart must be the brand, the design, and as for the hardcore technology, there may not be too many people to deliberately care. From smart genie #1 itself, I understand it as an innovative smart. Its innovations are mainly reflected in the positioning, focusing on practical seat layouts, and the product positioning of small SUVs, which give the smart genie #1 the label of "Gorgeous and Real". In addition, the pure electric attribute is added, making smart genie #1 more in line with the trend. Smart Genie #1 is coming soon, how much do you think is appropriate to start at?
