A few years ago, when Wei Xiaoli could still "sit in rows", many other car companies learned their logic push products, 15-550,000 yuan of products are many, but there are few pure electric vehicles that can catch fire. It was not until the emergence of Hongguang MINIEV that the pure electric vehicle market began to grow.
Hongguang MINIEV's harvest of "Old Man's Music" and the convenience of its own models in urban commuting have indeed attracted many consumers. At the same time, its monthly sales data has also accelerated the pace of other car companies to engage in electric cars.
Today, the popularity of "old man music" replacement models such as Hongguang MINIEV is not as high as before, but electric cars with higher grades and experience than TA will have a lot of potential, which is also a market segment that many car companies want to seize. Several electric cars will be launched this year, and they may even become explosive models.
BYD Seagull
Time to market: Q2 (estimated)
Seagull is the current entry model of BYD's marine net series, it has dolphins and seals in front, and the sales and reputation of these two models are good, laying a certain foundation for Seagulls.
In terms of design, the Seagull continues the style route of the ocean net, but the difference between the overall shape and the existing model is still more obvious, and the Seagull is sharper, whether it is the front face line, headlamp, or side line, giving people the feeling of being angular.
At the same time, judging from the fluorescent yellow and pink paint exposed by the Seagull some time ago, the Seagull will be more aggressive than the previous two models in terms of youth and personalization. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the seagull are 3780/1715/1540mm, and the wheelbase is 2500mm, compared with dolphin data, the seagull is basically smaller, but compared with cars such as Hongguang MINIEV, its volume advantage will be obvious, and the practicality is better.
In terms of interior, according to spy photos, Seagull adopts the familiar BYD interior style, with a floating central control screen and full LCD instrument, which is also the familiar shape of the ocean net. In addition, it can be seen in the declaration map of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the seagull that there are two tail marks of seagull Q and MINI on the tail of the car, so there is a high probability that the seagull will have different styles.
In terms of power, according to the declaration information, the Seagull will be equipped with a single motor model TZ180XSH, with a maximum power of 55kW and a maximum speed of 130km/h, which is stronger than the Wuling Clear Sky. In terms of cruising range, the new car will remain around 300-400km.
BYD Seagull will most likely be listed in the second quarter of this year. As for the price, referring to the dolphin's price of 11.68-136,800, the lower-positioned seagull is expected to drop to less than 100,000 yuan, and if the price can be pressed to less than 70,000 yuan, then its competitiveness will be strong.
Bao Jun Yue also
Time to market: No problem this year
In September last year, Baojun announced a new SUV, because it looks like a Jimny, so it is nicknamed "Baojun version of Jimny". Now that this car has its own name, Wuling named this pure electric SUV: Baojun Yueye. And judging from the name, this car may give some surprises in the off-road experience.
In terms of design, Yue also adopts a new design language, the overall shape is square, retro and fashionable, among which, the four-point LED daytime running lights are very recognizable.
In terms of size, Yueya is 3381/1685/1721mm in length, width and height respectively, and the wheelbase is 2110mm.
In terms of interior, according to spy photos, Yue will also use a dual-screen design composed of a floating central control screen + LCD instrument cluster, with a three-piece steering wheel, which is put into the "hard" SUV type that belongs to the more fashionable one.
In terms of power, Yue also adopts the rear-mounted rear-drive drive form, equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power of 50kW and a peak torque of 140Nm; Using lithium iron phosphate batteries, it has a range of 303km, which can cope with urban commuting or outdoor travel in the suburbs.
However, there is a more practical point: although Yue Ye has a hard-core SUV appearance, it actually adopts a load-bearing body structure, maybe it is Hongguang MINIEV's rear integral axle is not alone, whether it can really off-road depends on the actual car performance.
Pentaz bino
Time to market: Q1 (March 10?) ）
Of course, the most vocal in the manufacture of electric cars is of course Wuling Motors, after Hongguang MINIEV became popular, everyone came to "imitate", but the whole market is so large, the more players, the less pie is distributed. Therefore, Wuling this time focused on female consumers who hope that the grade of the mobility model is higher than that of Hongguang MINIEV.
Women, transportation needs, electric vehicles, this market segment is actually not small, which can be seen from the previous Ora cat series, and as a player of "what the people need, Wuling will build", Wuling Binguo will definitely beat the price, so that the market audience will be more.
In terms of appearance design, the appearance silhouette of Wuling Binguo takes a rounded route, which is in line with the fashion and cute product points. In terms of size, Wuling Binguo is positioned above the Hongguang MINIEV, so it is larger, with a length, width and height of 3950/1708/1580mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2560mm. This is larger than the 2500mm wheelbase of the Seagull, so from the parameter level, the seating space of Wuling Binguo should be more advantageous, more suitable for buying vegetables and picking up babies.
Interior, Wuling Binguo and Wuling Clear Sky have the same wonder, high-end models are equipped with LCD instruments and a dual screen composed of central control screen, and knob air conditioning adjustment is also available on Wuling Clear Sky.
In terms of power and endurance, Wuling Binguo will probably provide two power specifications: the maximum power of the motor is 30 kilowatts and 50 kilowatts. Correspondingly, the CLTC pure electric cruising range is also divided into 203 km and 333 km.
In terms of price, Wuling Binguo is likely to be in the range of 70,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan, which will definitely be higher than Hongguang MINIEV, but compared to models such as Ora Good Cat, Binguo has a certain price advantage.
