Now in the mainland automobile market, there are many new energy models, many people say that it is now the era of new energy vehicles, but we can clearly see through the data released by the passenger association, in fact, there are still many fuel models that are loved by consumers, and there are also many new energy models that are not loved by consumers. Today we are going to talk about the Maple Leaf 60s, which is a new energy vehicle, this model uses pure electric power and is positioned as a compact car. Compared with the competitors in the market, the models on sale of the Maple Leaf 60s include the 2022 model and the 2023 model, today we will take a look at why the Maple Leaf 60S has poor sales results, and is its latest version (2023 model) worth buying?
In terms of exterior design, the exterior design of the 2023 Maple Leaf 60S is no different from the previous model, with a closed front grille treatment, which is a typical feature of the 2023 Maple Leaf 60S. In the center of the front of the car, the maple leaf logo provides a certain degree of recognition. The slender lines of the headlight cluster, combined with the blackened treatment of the front surround, increase the refinement of the front face. However, the disadvantage is that the headlight source of the new car still uses a halogen light source, and it is standard for all models, which is relatively backward in the same class of models, and may not meet the expectations of some consumers for LED or more advanced light sources. In addition, although the closed grille is in line with the design concept of electric vehicles, the overall design of the front face may lack a certain degree of innovation, and compared with other models on the market, it may not be recognizable enough to attract consumers who are looking for personalized design.
At the same time, the interior design of the 2023 Maple Leaf 60S pursues a unique and personalized design style in terms of visual effects. Its steering wheel is made of plastic, and although the styling is flamboyant, it may not be comparable to a leather steering wheel in terms of feel and luxury. The center console is equipped with a touch-screen LCD screen, which enhances the layering of the interior, but users report that there may be problems in actual use that are complicated to operate or not responsive enough, which may affect the convenience and safety during driving. In terms of seats, although the imitation leather material is used and a wide and thick design is provided to improve the ride comfort, it may wear out after long-term use, requiring additional maintenance and maintenance by the owner. In addition, some users may have expectations for the materials and workmanship of the interior, hoping for more advanced materials and finer workmanship to enhance the overall sense of luxury and texture.
The 2023 Maple Leaf 60s offers some standard features in terms of configuration, such as tire pressure monitoring, ABS, and brake assist. However, this car is not only backward in the halogen light source that is standard in the whole series, but also in terms of technology configuration, the 2023 Maple Leaf 60S is still at a relatively backward level, which is inconsistent with the current mainstream high-tech and high-quality design trend of new energy vehicles. In addition, although the current models on sale in the Maple Leaf 60S have a pure electric range of 350/407/415km, in the current market, even its longest range version is difficult to meet the needs of consumers. The pure electric range of the 2023 Maple Leaf 60s is only 350km, which is really poor for consumers who pursue longer battery life.
Now that we have talked about the performance of this model in terms of range, let's talk about its performance in terms of power performance. Compared with its competitors, the 2023 Maple Leaf 60s uses a front-wheel drive motor with a power parameter of 100kW+230N·m, which is not too surging in the same class of models, and can only cope with daily urban commuting. In fact, the motor equipped with the 2023 Maple Leaf 60s is no different from the motor equipped with the 2022 Maple Leaf 60s.
To sum up, the 2023 Maple Leaf 60S has some deficiencies in terms of exterior design, interior texture, configuration level, and power performance. Although the current guide price of the 2023 Maple Leaf 60S is only 99,800 yuan, the price is relatively close to the people, but in the current highly competitive new energy vehicle market, the price of the 2023 Maple Leaf 60S does not have much advantage. Relatively speaking, the cost performance of this model is not excellent, and it is a model that is difficult for ordinary consumers to accept. Needless to say, the 2023 Maple Leaf 60s is not very worthy of everyone's choice compared to its competitors.
