The status of independent brand vans in everyone's mind is quite high, we always say that the various types of vans launched by independent brands have fed countless families, earned the first bucket of gold for many successful people, and are still the main tool for cargo transportation in the city.
But whether you are driving a small bread to make a busy delivery for your own business or making money by providing transportation services, I believe that many people will have such a question in their hearts: Why is it that in 2022, many small breads on the road are still outdated and old?
It is also the backward and outdated appearance that makes these small breads "not on the elegant hall", which is looked down upon by many people, and some people even label people who drive such models, which is really inappropriate.
Isn't the little bread that does the tiring work for us not worthy of serious design? Should they have a shabby look? Of course not!
The professor believes that these hard-working buns also deserve excellent designs that keep up with the times! Fortunately, with the advent of the new energy era, this seems to have become a reality.
BAIC EV5
Beiqi Changhe is a micro-noodle professional and has a very solid market foundation in China, and its EV5 is the most avant-garde product in styling design.
This pure electric micro-face adopts a closed front face design, the entire shape is very simple and flat, and the pullback standard headlights are integrated with the black narrow middle mesh to widen the visual width.
The light source on both sides of the front surround is fused with the polygonal imitation air intake and outlined with ice blue trim, combined with the honeycomb air intake opening to form a front face design that is very in line with the current electric vehicle trend.
On the side of the body, the side window lines rise diagonally to the rear, maintaining a similar angle to the A-pillar, and form a penetrating black trim strip at the rear of the roof, combined with similar raised lines on the side of the cargo compartment and light blue door handles, making this originally monotonous windowless cargo compartment more three-dimensional.
In the cockpit, the center console of the BAIC EV5 is also embellished with light blue trim stripes, and the fabric on the door trim panels also has a light blue grain, which gives this carriage made of cheap materials such as hard plastic a little more layered.
In terms of power parameters, the drive motor that can output 82Ps and 220N·m can provide a cruising range of 210-270km with the support of 32.3-43kWh battery pack, with a maximum load mass of 1180kg, which can meet the needs of transportation in the city.
Karry Dolphin EV
Also from the micro-face professional household is the Dolphin EV, not BYD's mini-car, but a pure electric micro-surface of Kerry Automobile.
The front face of the Dolphin EV also adopts a closed design with split headlights. However, unlike the DESIGN OF BAIC EV5, which surrounds the front with split headlights embedded in the front, the main light of the Dolphin EV is designed independently.
The daytime running lights, main headlights and front surround air intake panels are installed in a downward and gradually converging layout, making the front face look more three-dimensional.
Although this front face does not make the professor think of dolphins in any way, it is impressive enough for a micro-face.
In the cockpit of the Dolphin EV, the central control shape is much more monotonous than the appearance; the only feature worth mentioning may be the string-like trim that runs through the air conditioning outlet and runs through the entire center console.
However, the dolphin EV's pure electric cruising range of 270-350km and the power output of the drive motor up to 102Ps and 265N·m also make it in the upstream level of power performance in a number of new energy micro-surfaces.
Geely Remote StarShare V
In addition, there is a My Starbucks Rewards V from a remote car. Long-distance car is a young commercial vehicle brand owned by Geely, founded in 2016, so it is also the fresh meat of the micro-noodle world.
StarShare V, is a major car series under the remote, its front face shape has a little bit of Geely ICON shadow, all have slender rectangular daytime running lights connected with black trim, under the blue trim embellishment outline the outline of the lower edge of the front cover, and the two sides of the large main lighting headlights play a role in reducing the visual center of gravity, increasing the visual width of the effect.
In the white space of the front face, there are inconspicuous rectangular small grooves embellished, so that the front face is not too monotonous.
The side styling of the body is equally simple, and the waistline that extends with the lower part of the window to the upper rear of the rear is not conspicuous, but the boomerang wheel cover shape looks very delicate.
The interior design of the carriage is very practical, the front center console shape is very simple, it seems to be made of many rectangles, and a large number of storage compartments are set on it, and any documents and miscellaneous items with the car can find a safe place.
Overall, compared to the models mentioned above, the design of the remote StarShare V is more conservative.
But underneath the simple body is the cargo compartment officially called "the widest in its class", with a maximum load capacity of up to 1.5 tons. However, the 82Ps drive motor and the cruising range of 240-260km can only basically meet the needs of short-distance transportation in the city.
UFO Q2V
However, to say that the design is bold and avant-garde, all the above models are inferior to the flying saucer Q2V.
UFO Motors is a commercial vehicle and special vehicle manufacturing company founded in 1995, which was originally engaged in the production of various types of trucks, but after the launch of the Ditu series of small trucks, the flying saucer began to show different design features.
The cute "囧" character front face looks quite like the charm of a national treasure panda, and in the China Truck Championship, after lowering the suspension height, adding a wide-body kit and a big tail wing, the road completely broke the rough image of the domestic pickup truck.
Since the automotive industry entered the new energy era, flying saucers have also begun to exert efforts in the micro-surface market, and Q2V is its new product.
On this pure electric micro-surface, the design of the flying saucer is even bolder. The nose shape of the UFO Q2V is very complex, divided into two layers by a multitude of facets; the upper layer is the main body of the cockpit, while the lower layer is surrounded by black.
The UFO Q2V also uses split headlights like the models introduced above, but it does not divide the headlights into two parts like mainstream models, but three parts, embedded in the upper, middle and lower three layers of the front face, combined with the complex bracketing shape and prominent wheel arch design, making it look like a robot from the future.
On the side of the body, the flying saucer Q2V does not adopt a fully enclosed flat design like other micro-surfaces, but depicts the wheel arch shape with a strong sense of strength through the shape surface, and sets up an irregular pentagon of imitation side window decoration, echoing with the cab side window, adding more modeling elements, which looks quite like a European and American truck.
Even in the carriage, the flying saucer Q2V also adopts many angular shape designs, and the silver trim on the center console is matched with a strong sense of technology LCD instrument, and the visual perception is also very fresh.
However, the load-bearing capacity of the UFO Q2V cargo compartment 990kg is not outstanding, the maximum output power of 82Ps and the endurance of 290km do not have obvious advantages in front of its peer opponents, I am afraid that the value is the biggest killer.
Professor Summary
Nowadays, the small bread used to pull goods is no longer the old and worn representative; if you want to buy a van that can help you pull the goods running order, you may wish to consider these new energy micro-surfaces designed with care; if you are accompanied by some well-designed body coatings, driving them on the street can also gain the attention of many people!
