In the past few days, the news of Extreme Krypton X has been brushed all over the car circle, presumably you open various car APP, and its experience video is on your face. Now is still the construction vehicle stage is such a big battle, when the real car can be on the road, isn't it necessary to sound gongs and drums and firecrackers? Countless media teachers have called this car very fragrant, but I want to pour a basin of cold water, because Extreme Krypton X is not as beautiful as I imagined!
The first is the problem of positioning, it is difficult for me to understand what is the significance of launching a compact SUV at this stage of Zeekrypton? Extreme Krypton 001 has just gained a foothold in the high-end, the effect of Extreme Krypton 009 has not yet come out, and the slogan of the luxury brand is shouted very loudly. But when the foundation has not been consolidated, Extreme Krypton X was born, and it is difficult to say that brand power is not consumed. And it highly overlaps with "own" smart-smart genie #1, in order to give users a differentiated choice?
Then there is the problem of appearance, it is not as round and cute as the elves, and the overall design is neutral, in order to please both male and female user groups. It is commendable to break the stereotype that this class is a "female car", but in order to highlight luxury, the design is a bit overdone.
From the front, it looks like a variety of atmospheric majesty, but as soon as it comes to the side, the momentum stops abruptly, like a tiger's head without a body. This appearance may be more harmonious and natural if it appears on a mid-size or higher-level SUV, which is also my strangeness, obviously consumers are willing to pay, isn't it better to come out with a larger SUV.
There is also a button-type unlock praised by many people, although it is convenient and beautiful, but there is a question mark on security. It's not once or twice that the door can't be opened after a tram accident, but they pay for it with their lives. I don't know what the logic of Extreme Krypton is, but if there is a problem, the whole car is cut off and the door cannot be opened automatically, and others want to save you, and there is not even a place to make a force.
Then there is the interior of the car, there is no problem with the workmanship materials of the interior, and the appearance is very attractive. But the design of the "big color TV" and the removable refrigerator is very puzzling to me, in order to take care of the driver and co-pilot, an electric slide rail is installed behind the central control screen, which can make it slide left and right. I think it's really redundant, not to mention the cost and post-maintenance issues, does the co-pilot really need a screen like this? The refrigerator is just following the trend, and the positioning of the extreme Krypton X is not an ideal family SUV like L9.
Then there is the price, the extreme Krypton X is positioned as a compact SUV, but the price is not compact at all. Self-proclaimed luxury brand, and then with some "refrigerators", "color TVs" and so-called zero-gravity seats to bring up the price with peace of mind? I'm not against refrigerator color TVs, which can make consumers have a better enjoyment, which I very much appreciate, but I have always believed that they are not enough to support the "high" price.
And there are too many models to choose from at this price point, in addition to its own smart-smart Genie #1, and the upcoming Navy S7, the price of this mid-size SUV may fall around 180,000. Also on the market is the Zerorun C11, which is also a pure electric mid-size SUV with a higher level than the Extreme Krypton X, priced from 155,800 and cheaper in the extended range version.
The size of the Xpeng G3 is similar to that of the Extreme Krypton X, and the top-equipped model is only 176,900, and even the entry-level version of the latter cannot be bought. And this price of the extreme krypton X battery is only 66 degrees, really a little small, the theoretical endurance is only 500km, and the more is only 560km. Although the acceleration is fast, who will take this as a core requirement, and it is important to be able to run farther, right?
Write at the end
There is also a more realistic problem, now Tesla has opened another round of price cuts in Europe, the United States and Hong Kong, and the domestic probability is to keep up. Everyone knows that as soon as Tesla reduces the price, the most injured in addition to the owner is a friend, what to do with the extreme Krypton X that lacks core competitiveness? I want to ask everyone, who will you choose between Extreme Krypton and Tesla?
