In the past, smart looked like this ~ In order to facilitate the passage through the narrow streets and alleys of Europe, the commuter car was born, and the iconic small body also achieved the reputation of smart in China.
But! Since the global micro-fuel vehicle market has shrunk, Mercedes-Benz has also begun to abandon the operation of smart, announcing the suspension of production in China in 2019. Later, Geely and Mercedes-Benz began to "marry", and the smart was resurrected, and under the trend of electrification, smart also bid farewell to the identity of fuel vehicles.
So with the blessing of electrification, the smart created by Geely and Mercedes-Benz has now become like this! The bulky small SUV body also subverts the iconic impression of being small.
On April 25, this new smart genie #1 also opened pre-sale, and a total of 2 models are currently launched, with a pre-price of 190,000-23.00 million, and it has the blood of Geely flowing on it, and it is built with the Geely SEA vast platform.
However, in terms of appearance, the new smart genie #1 is actually inseparable from Mercedes-Benz, and the entire appearance is from Mercedes-Benz. In the front face style, the use of the popular closed design, through the light bar and the triangular headlight group, is also a more homogeneous design concept today, and even the professor at first glance feels that this is not somewhat similar to the Denza X of that year?
I have to say that the silhouette of the side looks a bit witty and beautiful with THE MINI COUNTRYMAN, but smart genie #1 also has its own unique style, and the visual creation is still a bit futuristic. In addition, in terms of personalized choice, smart genie #1 body color has 11 colors to choose from, and it can also be freely matched with 3 different roof colors, which is also catering to young consumers.
As for the size of the biggest change, the new car has a three-dimensional size of 4270/1822/1636mm, a wheelbase of 2750mm, and the overall wheelbase size has reached the level of a compact SUV, and it is believed that the space is slightly larger than that of the Audi Q2L and Honda e:NS1 of the same level of traditional fuel.
For the details, it also played a good role in Mercedes-Benz, the nameplate of the B-pillar "STYLED BY", the logo of the C-pillar "smart", and the sealed disc style wheels, which were just right for the exquisite embellishment of Mercedes-Benz. Targeting female consumers is also a major trend, and the MINI exquisite route can be said to be the darling of thousands of female users.
In fact, there is nothing to say about the smart genie #1 in the car, and the entire cockpit follows the simplified layout, and the center console extends directly to the saddle with an integrated panel.
The highlight of the technology atmosphere is also difficult to defeat it, the embedded 9.2-inch full LCD dashboard, the large-area HUD head-up display, and the 12.8-inch floating central control screen show a full sense of future technology.
In terms of intelligence, the new car is a built-in "smart universe" intelligent human-computer interaction system, the core of which deepens the digital ecological experience, and can seamlessly experience the smart digital world through exclusive smart ID. At the same time, it is also equipped with a voice wizard assistant, which integrates AI artificial intelligence technology and can continuously learn the user's voice habits.
And it is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 intelligent cockpit chip, which is believed to enhance the reaction speed of the car and the machine, so that users have a smooth operation experience.
In terms of seat layout, it can be seen that the rear seats are of a relatively wide type, and the angle of the seat cushion should be more suitable for the support of the thighs. The comfort of the ride can also be added.
One of the biggest highlights of smart genie #1 is that it is based on the vast SEA architecture, driven by a rear-mounted motor, with a maximum horsepower of 272 horses, a maximum torque of 343 Nm, and an acceleration of only 6.7 seconds per 100 kilometers.
The battery pack is equipped with a 66kWh ternary lithium battery, the maximum cruising range of 560km under CLTC conditions, and the DC overcharge can be charged from 10% to 80% of the power in 30 minutes. In addition, it is interesting that when the new car is developed, the vehicle is pulled to the Inner Mongolia Yakeshi winter test where the temperature is close to minus 40 degrees, and at low temperatures, the system can preheat the battery to ensure the best cold resistance.
So which of the two models currently pre-sold is the most recommended?
The introductory Pro+ version is actually more basic and equipped with 6 airbags, pedestrian reminders, 360-degree panoramic images, smart Pilot intelligent driver assistance system (14 high-precision sensing hardware), etc., which are enough to meet daily use in terms of safety. However, in order to obtain high-level safety assistance and high endurance performance (endurance of 535km), it does not appear in the entry version.
On the Premium version, the Smart Pilot intelligent assisted driving system (23 high-precision perception hardware), 10-inch head-up display, mobile phone wireless charging, Beats audio, intelligent fragrance system, etc. The Premium version is most obviously to increase to 23 high-precision perception hardware, which can achieve a series of high-precision safety functions such as intelligent parking assistance, pilot assistance, and rear collision mitigation, and 560km endurance is quite attractive for consumers who pursue.
On the whole, if it is only a daily urban commuting, it is obvious that the entry Pro+ version is enough to travel, and the basic configuration of all aspects can also bring intelligent experience. The Premium version that costs 40,000 yuan more will directly pull the high-end hardcore configuration, and the intelligent experience will naturally not be within a level, so the budget is sufficient to directly choose the Premium version and will not regret it.
So this time smart genie #1 is also considered to inherit the mantle, the exquisite shape has a more MINI feeling, and the 560km endurance is not bad at the same level, and then it depends on the young users and the little sister's love for it
