A few years ago, suffering from parking difficulties, Lao Wang moved the idea of buying a generation of miniature scooters. At that time, there was no Wuling Hongguang MINI EV on the market, and in addition to the old man Le, the only A00-class cars that could be legally put on the road were Smart. Tens of thousands of dollars budget, buy an old Smart, face, convenient everything, it sounds really fragrant. But the reality is that Smart's driving texture like industrial garbage directly dissuaded Lao Wang, and after a few years of thinking back, it was a disaster to drive this car on the road.
Today, however, the compact Smart has transformed from a fuel mini-car into a fashionable electric SUV. Geely gave Smart a platform architecture in today's electrification trend, while Mercedes-Benz continued its old line of design and interior and exterior. To be honest, such a combination is rare in the industry, and the Denza made by BYD and Daimler before is a good example, but deforestation got up early and rushed to a late set. But a few years later, Smart Genie #1 seems to want to prove itself in a whole new way.
And it's not unreasonable to say that Smart Genie #1 isn't expensive. If you look at it as a luxury brand, Smart Genie #1 seems to be worthy of its "value". For example, compared with the Audi Q2L e-tron, The Smart Genie #1 is not oil to electricity, the battery life is also much higher, and even the performance performance is much stronger. In addition, compared to the Mercedes-Benz EQA, the latter's starting price of 320,000 yuan seems to not want to be compared with Smart Genie #1. But the reality is that if you really take 200,000-300,000 traditional luxury brand electric vehicles to compare, at this stage of the product in front of Smart Genie #1 seems to be a little insufficient to play.
So, tangled smart genie #1 is not expensive, it is better to understand who the competitors of this car are? Judging from the current mainstream trend of domestic electric vehicle development, electric vehicles are mainly divided into 50,000-level micro-mobility tools of the people-friendly faction; 150,000-level commercial factions in the online ride-hailing market; and high-end factions of more than 250,000 yuan.
Stuck in the 150,000-250,000 level, at first glance really can't see through what the Smart Genie #1 positioning is! Because the same size is cheaper than the price, Euler Good Cat, BYD Dolphin and even Volkswagen ID.3 are cheaper than it. And if you have a budget of 200,000, most of the domestic electric vehicles you can buy will not lose the Smart Genie #1, and the space will be much larger than it. Obviously, although the driving form has changed, Smart Genie #1 doesn't seem to want to lose the petty bourgeois tone of the Smart brand at the beginning.
This is similar to the group that bought Smart before, and you talk about practicality, configuration, and space with them. Choose the owner of the Smart brand, they are more interested in the design, which is also the most pinched place for Mercedes-Benz, Smart Genie #1 is naturally done well. With the help of the Geely Vast Architecture, it must be admitted that the product power of Smart Genie #1 is very capable. Here Lao Wang makes a hypothesis, if the Smart Genie #1 can be sold in the Mercedes-Benz 4S store, then its sales will definitely be much higher than that sold elsewhere...
