On March 11th, Wuling Yangguang was launched, on March 15th, Xinyuan E3L product test drive will be held, on March 20th, Ruichi EC75 long-range version was launched, and on March 25th, Karry Finless Porpoise E7 rolled off the assembly line......
So, what are the characteristics of these new energy VAN vehicles, and what are the advantages of each? In this regard, the commercial vehicle news media reporter has sorted it out, and users who have the need to buy a car can refer to it.
Lowest price: Wuling Yangguang
"Whatever the people need, Wuling will build. "Cost performance has long become the core of Wuling's car manufacturing, and because of this, whether in the field of commercial vehicles or passenger cars, almost no company can roll over Wuling.
Among the popular new energy VAN cars in March, Wuling Yangguang has no rival at the price level of 80,000 yuan. The maximum battery power of Wuling Red No. 1 is 41.9kWh, and it only takes half an hour to charge 30%~80% of the power at room temperature, and the maximum cruising range of the vehicle is 300km. The 60kW, 220N.m rear motor can basically meet all kinds of working conditions faced by urban distribution logistics.
In terms of driving experience, the Wuling Yangguang car is equipped with fabric seats, supports four adjustments, and has basic passenger functions such as a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, knob shifting, power windows, and an 8-inch central control LCD screen. The passenger instrument panel is personalized with a concave design, which supports storage and office at the same time, and has a high degree of practicality.
Compared with several other models, Wuling Yangguang is slightly inferior in cargo compartment and range, however, the price of about 80,000 should make up for this disadvantage.
The highest space utilization: Xinyuan E3L
Xinyuan E3L is the latest model of Xinyuan Automobile to be launched in 2024, compared with traditional VAN products, the model is very recognizable, and the vehicle style is quite sci-fi.

It can be seen from the above table that the body size of Xinyuan E3L is similar to that of Wuling Yangguang, and the length of Wuling Yangguang vehicle is even longer than that of Xinyuan E3L, but the length of the cargo box and the overall volume are not as good as Xinyuan E3L. In addition, compared with the larger size of the vehicle Karry Finless Porpoise E7, Xinyuan E3L volume is only 0.1 cubic meters smaller. This also further reflects the space advantages brought by the car's square body and flat head design.
In terms of other configurations, Xinyuan E3L is equipped with CATL lithium iron phosphate batteries, with a maximum power of 41.86kWh and an official cruising range of 263km. The cab features a through-type seat, a knob shift and a lever-mounted handbrake on the center console to save space inside the cab. There is no LCD screen in the central control, and functions such as reversing image and multimedia are integrated into the LCD instrument panel.
Overall, the price of Xinyuan E3L is basically the same as the mainstream pricing of products of the same level, and the biggest advantage of this car is to achieve the maximum loading space with the smallest body.
