Every year, the May Day holiday is the peak season for travel, but this year's trend is different from previous years. Some data show that during the May Day holiday this year, consumer travel preferences show the characteristics of "three short", that is, the decision-making cycle is short, the travel radius is short, the number of travel days is short, and in terms of geographical distribution, Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Chongqing, Chengdu and other first- and second-tier cities carry a more significant enthusiasm for local and surrounding tourists. There is no doubt that the holiday is still lively, self-driving in the face of traffic jams, queues, grab parking spaces will be a fierce PK, want to stand out to be surprisingly successful, so the preferred means of transportation is small pure electric vehicles, the more blocked the more environmentally friendly, parking is also convenient, this is the high-end play of short-distance travel. This article recommends five cost-effective pure electric vehicles with a range of more than 300km, with a minimum starting price of less than 50,000 yuan.
Dongfeng EX1 2022 PRO five-door 4-seater
Guidance price: 4.97-56,700 yuan
CLTC endurance: 321km
Battery capacity: 26.8kWh ternary lithium battery
Highlights: Lowest starting price, SUV
Although the Dongfeng EX1 is not famous, it is a very bright model, not only in the 300km endurance model with the lowest starting price, but also its hard strength is also good. It comes from Renault Nissan's mature pure electric platform (the same platform as Renault eNo), built with a car chassis, 300km endurance, 49,700 starts, fast charging, and two airbags as standard, such a pure electric vehicle is only The Dongfeng EX1 PRO in the world, it can be said that it is the "Hongguang MINI EV" in the 300km endurance.
The appearance design of Dongfeng EX1 PRO is also a favorite SUV style of the Chinese people, and the front grille adopts the unique closed design of pure electric vehicles, and the overall visual effect has a strong sporty atmosphere. And in terms of positioning, Dongfeng EX1 is a small SUV, the body size is 3732mm× 1579mm×1515mm, the wheelbase is 2423mm, which is a standard small family car body, and the miniature scooter is completely two looks and feels in the grade. However, the minimum ground clearance has reached 150mm, and the road teeth are easily crossed, and you can comfortably navigate a variety of suburban farm routes.
The interior does not have much in line with the characteristic design of electric vehicles, and even slightly backward, only the contrast design is used in the color matching to add some young and fashionable colors. For interior design, do not expect too much, it is mainly practical, such as high-end models with reversing images, LED daytime running lights, leather cloth splicing seats, manual anti-glare inner mirrors, Type-C interface and other configurations, as well as 8-inch central control screen, can support Bluetooth / car phone, mobile phone Interconnection / mapping, etc., are very practical.
In terms of space, although the Dongfeng EX1 PRO has a larger body size than the micro scooter, it only provides a 4-seat layout, and the seats support front and rear adjustment, and the advantage is that the front and rear seats are more spacious and comfortable. In fact, you can also sit 3 people in the back squeeze, of course, the regulations do not allow it, so it may be more practical if it can be designed as 5 seats.
Moreover, the conventional volume of the trunk has reached 300L, and the maximum volume of the rear seat backrest can reach 1107L, which can easily fit the travel materials of a small family of 4 people.
In terms of power, Dongfeng EX1 PRO is equipped with a front-drive permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power of 33kW, a peak torque of 125N·m, and a design maximum speed of 100km/h. In terms of battery life, equipped with a 26.8kWh ternary lithium battery, clTC cruising range of 321km, calculated to consume about 8.3kWh/100km, quite energy-saving. And the power 30%-80% fast charge only takes half an hour, 0-100% slow charge also takes only 4 hours, that is to say, fast charge can run about 150km in half an hour, which is enough to meet the needs of short-distance travel quick energy replenishment.
Geometry EX3 Kung Fu Cow 2021 Five doors 5 seats
Guidance price: 6.88-7.88 million yuan
NEDC endurance: 322km
Battery capacity: 37.23kWh ternary lithium battery
Highlights: strong power, reliable battery life
The Geometric EX3 can be seen as an advanced version of the Dongfeng EX1 PRO, although it is also positioned as a small SUV, but its space and power are more like a real family car, of course, the price is more expensive.
In terms of appearance, the geometric EX3 Kung Fu Cow maintains the auspicious family design style, and the semi-enclosed grille adopts a straight waterfall design, which is very recognizable. The body design also adds a sense of youthfulness through fluorescent yellow trim embellishments, combined with black surrounds and standard 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, bringing a stylish and sporty style to the whole vehicle.
The interior style tends to be young fashion and the creation of a sense of technology, the center console adopts a three-color design, the entire interior looks full of youth and vitality, and the grade is beyond the scope of the scooter, comparable to a family car of more than 100,000 yuan. The three-panel multi-function steering wheel adopts a flat-bottom design, with a 7.0-inch full LCD instrument and an 8.0-inch LCD central control screen in the front, showing a sense of sport and technology that is excellent in this price segment.
Space on the geometric EX3 kung fu cattle body length and width of 4005mm× 1760mm× 1575 mm, wheelbase reached 2480mm, compared to the same price segment of the small micro pure electric vehicle, the positioning of the body size so that the geometric EX3 kung fu cattle occupy a great advantage in space, the front and rear seating space has reached the level of normal family cars, riding does not need to be OK.
Although the trunk is generally deep, the bottom is deeper, and the volume of the trunk under normal conditions still reaches 400L, which can fully meet the daily storage use. If you need to put some larger luggage or other large-sized items, the rear seats can also be proportionally reclined, and the trunk can be expanded up to 900 liters. In addition, its ground clearance has reached 148mm, and the passability of the high chassis is more suitable for going to the countryside to spread joy.
In terms of power, the GEOMETRIC EX3 Kung Fu Cow is equipped with a front permanent magnet synchronous motor, the maximum power is 70kW, the maximum torque is 180N·m, the power level is comparable to the 1.5L engine of the traditional oil car, which is completely enough for home use in such a small car, but the design maximum speed is only 100km/h, which is a little regrettable.
In terms of battery life, the geometric EX3 kung fu cow is equipped with a 37.23kWh ternary lithium battery, the NEDC comprehensive cruising range of 322km, and the average power consumption is about 11.6kWh/100km, and the results seem to be average. But from my previous test drive, the endurance of geometric models is generally more real, and the shrinkage is very small, so its 300km endurance will actually run farther than others with the same 300km endurance. In terms of energy replenishment, 30%-80% fast charging takes only 0.5 hours, and 0-100% slow charging takes only 7 hours.
On the whole, although the price is a little more expensive, it is a pure electric vehicle of the real family car level, with space and performance ahead of the same level, and the design grade is also higher, so it is worth considering.
Chery Little Ant 2022 Sweet Powder Model Three Doors 4 Seats
Guidance price: 7.39-9.4 million yuan
NEDC endurance: 301km (high-end 408km this article does not discuss)
Battery capacity: 30.6kWh ternary lithium / 30.7kWh lithium iron phosphate battery
Highlights: back-end, elder status, quality assurance
In the field of micro pure electric scooters, Chery Little Ant is definitely the elder status, and since its launch in 2017, it has quickly seized the market with the precise positioning of family scooters. And Chery has developed new energy for so many years, in the field of BMS, motors, electronic control technology is quite mature, product quality is trustworthy, from the owner feedback to see the small ant reputation is also good.
In terms of design, the 2022 small ant sweet powder car is as its name suggests, the appearance is very Q, especially the front face of the smile expression is very recognizable, and the overall body is also very small, in line with the positioning of female users. In the material configuration, the small ants are also very willing, such as the rare all-aluminum body structure of the same level, which has more advantages in lightweight and safety, and is generally only used by high-end cars.
The interior also adopts a cute design that echoes the appearance, and there are various playful and lively colors in the color matching, which adds a lot of vitality to the interior of the car. The 10-inch central control screen equipped with the standard in the car also supports CarLife, remote control and other functions, and the high-end model also supports online navigation, voice control, wireless charging and other functions, and the intelligent and technological configurations are moving closer to the young people's examination, and the experience is not bad.
In terms of space, the length, width and height of the body are 3200mm×1670mm×1550mm (1590mm), the wheelbase is 2150mm, and the three-door and four-seat layout is respectively. After all, the positioning mini car, before or the main two seats, so the ride of 4 people is more crowded, full load is only suitable for short-distance emergency.
If it is a two-person outing, the rear row can also get a trunk with a lot of space, then it can definitely meet the needs of material loading.
In terms of power, the 301km endurance Chery Ant is equipped with a single motor with a total power of 30kW and a total torque of 120N·m, with a maximum speed of 100km/h. However, due to the rear-drive arrangement, in addition, the front and rear of the chassis are using McPherson independent suspension, so the actual driving experience will be more fun than the front-drive motor model, low-speed driving, acceleration is more obvious, if you switch to sport mode, deep on the accelerator can feel a good sense of acceleration.
In terms of battery life, the 301km version can choose 30.6kWh ternary lithium or 30.7kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, with energy consumption of about 10kWh/100km, which is relatively provincial. In fact, for the battery pack within 50kwh, I recommend that you choose lithium iron phosphate batteries for southern cars, because the weight will not increase too much, but the safety is higher.
In terms of replenishment, the small ant 30%-80% fast charge only takes 0.5 hours, 0-100% slow charge takes 9 hours, relatively speaking, the slow charge time is slightly longer, but there is a highlight that the first owner can enjoy the warranty of unlimited years and unlimited mileage of the battery pack (responsible for exemption clauses).
Zero-run T03 2022 five-door 4-seater
Guidance price: 7.39-8.99 million yuan
NEDC Battery Life: 403km (301km not discussed in this article)
Battery capacity: 41kWh lithium iron phosphate battery
Highlights: long endurance, new car-making forces, new fashion
As the work of the new car-making forces, the zero-run T03 can jump out of the thinking mode of traditional fuel vehicles in design, so you can see its identity as an electric vehicle at a glance. In addition, there are more advantages in terms of technological interconnection, such as having OTA functions that are not supported by the previous three models.
The overall body design of the zero-run T03 is small and round, full of exquisiteness, and the straight body contour also contributes to the improvement of the driving space, and the front face, especially the circular headlight design, is a bit smart, and also adds a "big eye cute" temperament to the whole car, which is very popular with female car owners.
The interior design is mainly simple, the center console is flat in shape, with a standard 10-inch central control screen, a high-end 8-inch dashboard and an electronic handbrake, etc., which appears to be technologically fashionable, and the contrast style does not look monotonous. In addition, it also has a front-row integrated seat, and the overall workmanship and material look very high-grade, especially in line with the exquisite petty bourgeois lifestyle that young people, especially female car owners, want.
Space zero-run T03 body length, width and height are 3620mm× 1652mm× 1592mm, wheelbase 2400mm, although positioning mini car, but also very close to the standard of small SUVs, can easily sit four people. In addition, the minimum ground clearance has reached 140mm, so even female car owners who do not have a strong sense of boundary do not have to worry about the bottom of the car bumping into the road teeth.
In terms of power, the 403km version is equipped with an 80kW front motor, the maximum torque is 158N·m, which is more powerful than the Dongfeng EX1 and Chery Ants, but the top speed is still only 100km/h, which may support 120km/h in performance, but it is limited by narrow tires and energy consumption, and out of the protection of the battery and motor, so the output is limited, after all, safety is the first. In terms of endurance, the 401km version is equipped with a 41kWh lithium iron phosphate battery, which calculates the average power consumption of about 10.2kWh/100km, and the performance also belongs to the mainstream average. In terms of energy replenishment, 30%-80% fast charge takes only 0.6 hours, and slow charge only takes 3.5 hours.
In general, zero-run T03 is a rare product with a range of more than 400km in the same class, and it is also the lowest starting price in the 400km endurance model, only 79,900 yuan, while chery Ant 408km endurance version has a starting price of 88,900 yuan, so if you want to have a high endurance, zero-run T03 is a good choice.
Baojun KiWi EV 2022 three-door 4-seater
Guidance price: 7.88-8.68 million yuan
NEDC endurance: 305km
Battery capacity: 31.9kWh ternary lithium / lithium iron phosphate
Highlights: design advantages, back-drive, futuristic sense of technology
KiWi EV is from Wuling's GSEV global small pure electric vehicle architecture, strictly speaking, KiWi EV is also a miniature new energy vehicle. However, from the perspective of the exterior design and interior materials of KiWi EV, KiWi EV is obviously a delicate style, and the environmental protection materials used in the car are also not available in most micro new energy vehicles, so the actual positioning of KiWi EV is higher than that of micro new energy vehicles in the transportation class, which is more responsible for improving the quality of family cars, so the price is understandable.
In terms of appearance, the design of Baojun KiWi EV is also very memorable, bringing a bright color to today's highly homogeneous car design, which can be distinguished at a glance among all sentient beings. This design is also very futuristic sci-fi, so its targeting crowd is not limited to female users, many male users will also like this cool futuristic design style.
The interior of Baojun KiWi EV is also quite a sense of technology, the center console of the suspension design echoes with the appearance of the suspension body, the design is simple and layered, only a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, but the integrated navigation entertainment and other information display, with the geometric texture of the door panels on both sides, is not cheap, but has a good visual perception.
In terms of body size, Baojun KiWi EV is 2894mm× 1655mm×1595mm, wheelbase is 2020mm, and the curb weight is about 1050kg. Due to the use of a van-like design, there is almost no front cabin, so the body length is shorter than that of the same class model, less than 3 meters of the body can still be arranged with three doors and 4 seats, and the space performance is acceptable, especially the large glass covering the body half of the body makes the interior more open, further enhancing the sense of space.
In terms of power, Baojun KiWi EV adopts the rear-drive drive mode, which can directly improve the space utilization and transmission efficiency in the car, and the maximum power of the motor is 40kW, the maximum torque is 150N·m, due to the characteristics of the motor drive, the power output of KiWi EV is naturally more direct, which can bring a more pleasant starting feeling.
In terms of battery life, Baojun KiWi EV provides 31.9kWh of ternary lithium and lithium iron phosphate batteries to choose from, NEDC endurance of 305km, average power consumption of about 10.5kWh/100km, support 7kW fast charging, 30%-80% power fast charging time of about 1h, 0-100% slow charging time of 5h, fast charging compared to the same level of opponents have little advantage.
However, it supports mobile phone APP reservation charging, such as charging in the early morning, you can avoid the peak of electricity consumption, the cost will be more economical, but also with the vehicle 220V power function, in the wild it can discharge electrical appliances, in extreme cases can also charge other new energy vehicles, which is a rare function in micro new energy vehicles. On the whole, Baojun KiWi EV is still relatively capable of comprehensive product strength in its own market segment.
Comments: In fact, in addition to the five models recommended above, there are many small and micro pure electric vehicles with a range of more than 300km, but they are too niche to even buy, so they are not recommended. For most people, the car area only covers the surrounding area of their own city, the real need to drive across provinces is still relatively small, so that the 300km endurance is enough, the urban transportation is basically charged once a week, and the cross-city driving charge can also run back and forth, just enough. The owner does not need to pay for the extra reserve capacity, after all, the battery cost is high, the endurance is doubled, the price of the car is basically doubled, the money you buy 300km endurance must be spent on the blade, and the money for more than 300km endurance is likely to be spent on the back of the knife, do you think so?
Finally, according to the E-car App ranking list, among the 5 models in this article, The Little Ant leads the sales ranking in March, followed by the Zero Run T03; but the popularity ranking is leading the Dongfeng EX1, followed by the Little Ant, if you want more information, you can go to the Easy Car App to view.
