According to the news on the online platform, Baojunyue also wants to launch an "extended range" model, which can not only increase battery life, but also have an external discharge function.
In fact, from the information displayed by the network platform, the so-called "range extension" power is not a regular range extender power system, but directly in the engine compartment to add a small generator, this generator can charge the battery, electrical energy can also be discharged, the simplest understanding is like adding a charging treasure, and the cost of this range extender assembly is about 2000 yuan, 4L oil can run 80KM of endurance. Moreover, this range extender can also be retrofitted later.
The Baojunyue is also a model launched on May 25, 2023, and it is available in two configurations. It is a small SUV with a length, width and height of 3381/1685/1721mm and a wheelbase of 2110mm.
Externally, this car adopts a boxy design, and the overall appearance has a certain similarity to Suzuki's hardcore off-road model Jimny, but the size is much smaller. The front features an all-black closed center grille, transverse LED light clusters for the headlights, and a stiff front bumper under the nose. The sides are single-door layout. The whole looks like a delicate little box. The rear adopts a tailgate that opens laterally, and the bottom is still equipped with a thick bumper, in order to enhance a certain degree of recognition, the manufacturer also provides a Car-watch display at the rear for optional, but this is not a high-level configuration, just a simple decoration.
In terms of interior, this car adopts a simple round multi-function steering wheel, which runs through the integrated screen, and the LCD instrument screen and center control screen are 10.25 inches in size. On the center console, some physical buttons are also set up, and a knob-type gear shift lever is adopted. In terms of color matching, there are two options, black is more stable, but it is also slightly monotonous and dull, and the monologue looks fresh and stylish. The seats are made of leather, and the top-equipped version of the main and passenger seats are equipped with electric adjustments.
In terms of power, it adopts the form of 68 horsepower single motor drive, the total power of the motor is 50KW, the total torque is 140N.m, the drive battery capacity is 28.1KW, and the official cruising range data is 303KM.
Although Baojunyue also has a very personal appearance, for such a small car, from the perspective of home, its functionality is still lacking, and to buy such a small car at a guidance price of 79,800 yuan to 89,800 yuan, many people must not be able to afford it. Moreover, don't think that adding a generator will sell well, even if the real extended range version is made, this car will not necessarily sell well.
