I still remember that in May, Trumpchi E9 held a listing conference in the Great Hall of the People.
At that time, there was such a thing, "Trumpchi E9 was awarded by the China Polar Research Center as the designated model of China's Antarctic and Arctic Expedition, contributing Chinese strength to the national scientific research cause".
This sentence, a bit long, is also very weighty. The story of Trumpchi E9 and the Arctic is not just telling, on June 14, Trumpchi E9 set off with the Snow Dragon polar research ship and really went straight to the North Pole.
On July 26, Trumpchi E9 arrived in the Arctic, which is also the first time that a new energy MPV has landed in the Arctic.
On July 29, the "Ten Thousand Miles Long Test" began, and the Trumpchi E9 set off from Norway, went all the way east, crossed Europe and Asia, and finally returned to China, which took a total of 17 days, which is also a feat.
To the North Pole, and back thousands of miles. This way, there is a low temperature test, as well as a long-distance bumpy durability test, Trumpchi E9 "did not drop the chain" and successfully cleared the customs.
As far as products are concerned, Trumpchi E9 focuses on four words, "Ning, Vigor, Wisdom, Yuan".
Ning, it means "peace of mind and tranquility". Trumpchi E9 is equipped with a "magazine battery", which has undergone a special thermal runaway test, and the biggest feature is that even if it encounters the limit of thermal runaway, it can ensure no open flame, which has advantages in terms of safety.
In addition, the standard airbags of the Trumpchi E9 are relatively high, including rear windwindow airbags (rare), front and rear integrated side air curtains, and one or two exhaust bags; At the same time, NVH is also doing well, mainly to further optimize the electromagnetic noise of the motor, which can reduce 10 decibels.
It's about motivation.
The Trumpchi E9 is a plug-in hybrid vehicle. The engine is 2.0T, with a maximum output of 140kW and a maximum torque of 330Nm, which is more powerful in direct drive.
The hybrid structure is "two-motor parallel shaft series and parallel 2-speed DHT", the combination mode is more abundant, the engine and electric motor are combined, the comprehensive power can reach 274 kW, and the comprehensive torque is 630 Nm.
Intelligence is the function of smart travel.
When it really falls into the use scenario of MPV, some functions need to be paid attention to. 1. Trumpchi E9 has external discharge function, this hot spot configuration, gradually become a rigid need for camping, can be discharged, camping experience upgraded more than half;
2. Trumpchi E9 uses 8155 chip, the car machine operation is smoother, the passenger screen, the second row of ceiling screen, are not absent; 3. Trumpchi E9 also has vital signs monitoring to avoid family members being locked in the car by mistake.
Far, it emphasizes the battery life performance of the Trumpchi E9.
In the official data, the pure electric range of the Trumpchi E9 is 136km, the comprehensive range of WLTC working conditions is 1032km, and the fuel consumption of WLTC feed is 6.05L/100km.
MPVs have not been a mainstream market. In recent years, its market share has been shrinking, so there are many voices that are singing down.
But this market has to be peeled back carefully, it is actually "differentiating", low-end commercial MPVs have been greatly reduced, but high-end household/commercial MPVs are "rising".
Due to the small market, there are not many competitors participating in the competition, but it is very necessary to "survive". Only by persevering can we cross the wind and rain and see the rainbow.
Looking back, the brand of Trumpchi, in the MPV market, has indeed adhered to it all the way.
Since 2017, they began to enter the high-end MPV market, at that time, their two cars were called GM8 and GM6. Later, Trumpchi continued to cultivate, and the two cars were continuously upgraded to the M8 series and M6 series, and they have always remained famous on the sales list.
This year, they launched the Trumpchi E9. This is the first car in their E series, which is not pure electric for the time being, but there is hybrid, hoping to cut into the thriving track of new energy.
The reasons are simple: 1. New energy has an increment; 2. Trumpchi MPV users have potential energy. As an MPV old mage, what kind of market results Trumpchi E9 can achieve, it will take some time to observe.
But there is still confidence in Trumpchi.
Returning from extreme cold, the Trumpchi E9 proved itself.
The new energy MPV market is in the ascendant, and the opportunity is still there, depending on how Trumpchi carefully operates, and then splits a piece of the world.
