In the matter of creating new energy models, joint venture car companies do not seem to have "talent", not only started late, but also have no new ideas, and are deeply bound by the traditional concept of car manufacturing. Even after a long period of time, it is difficult to launch a new product, but it has no sense of existence, and the sales results are even more unsightly. However, at present, new energy models are so popular, even if the joint venture car companies have been repeatedly frustrated, how can they bear to give up. Therefore, after a period of precipitation, many joint venture car companies will still give up on launching new models, hoping to be a blockbuster. Just like Cadillac, Ruige's setback did not discourage, and now a new pure electric SUV has been launched: IQ Aoge, a total of two configurations, the official guide price is 239,700 and 269,700 respectively, hoping that its listing can sweep away the haze and inject new development vitality into the brand.
Judging from the pricing of IQ Aoge, it is not difficult to find that Cadillac is still very cautious in pricing this time. To be honest, for a pure electric SUV with luxury attributes, the price of more than 200,000 yuan is not expensive, but the current competitive market environment makes the majority of consumers have more and more requirements for car purchases. The moment I saw IQ Aoge, I had a sense of déjà vu, which was both similar and somewhat different from Ruige. Even if it is a new energy model, you can still feel the flavor of traditional American cars, and compared with other pure electric models on the market, the sense of muscle power is more prominent. The picture shows the Fashion Edition, but the official Sport Edition will also be launched, which distinguishes it from the Fashion Edition in terms of detail design and adds more blackened kits to enhance the sporty atmosphere.
The first thing that catches the eye is the black and gold front grille, which is 1.14m long, but fortunately it is not very wide, so it is not too conspicuous. The inside of the grille adopts a closed design, and 74 LED lamp beads are integrated into the edges, which have a rich light language, plus the illuminated car logo logo, which is still very recognizable after being lit up at night. When the user approaches the car with the key, there will be a welcome light, giving the user a full sense of ritual. The headlight clusters on both sides are designed in the style of the number 7, and a number of lamp beads are neatly arranged inside, which has a very good lighting effect. The trapezoidal blackened lower surround is designed to be relatively wide, extending to the middle of the front face, as mentioned earlier, the IQ still has a strong atmosphere of a fuel car, highlighting the unique charm of an American car.
The side of the car has a bit of crossover SUV charm, the body length is more than 4.8m, the wheelbase is 2954mm, and the whole body posture is slender and smooth. The A-pillar has a large angle of inclination, the C-pillar and the D-pillar are designed to be incorporated, and the concealed door handles are integrated into the body, making the upper part of the body lighter. The second half is heavier, the lightweight hidden door handle is integrated with the body, how to say that the overall design is calm and fashionable, there are surprises but not much.
The tail lights are divided into two sections, which are like energy light bars when lit, echoing the headlights and also showing the charging status. The rear of the car continues to add a lot of strong lines, which looks like a bulging muscle mass, and when you press the car logo, the electric trunk will open, and after opening, you will find that the internal volume of the trunk is still very regular. When the rear seats are folded down, they can be almost flat with the trunk, improving the practicality of everyday cars.
The interior design layout of IQ is very close to that of Ruige, with a 33-inch 9K curved screen that is still conspicuous, with the latest car machine system and 8195 chip built-in, integrating rich scientific and technological functions. The three-spoke steering wheel is equipped with a number of function buttons, and the floating gear shift saves more storage space in the front row. The interior materials have eliminated a lot of chrome materials, and the blue and white color scheme makes it look more stylish and simple.
IQ provides two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive two power versions, that is to say, the standard version and the four-wheel drive version, the pure electric range under CLTC working conditions is 536km and 600km respectively, and the official acceleration per 100 kilometers is the fastest 5.97s, which still has not ushered in any breakthrough in terms of endurance and acceleration. How to say it, after understanding it, everyone found that the product power of IQ Aoge is not that bad, but it just feels like everything is almost meaningful. The muscular strength and advantages of American cars seem to have fallen out of favor in the new energy market, and in the face of it, most consumers are in a wait-and-see state, and it is difficult to make up their minds to pay for it. In particular, the current independent models are so involuted, which highlights its advantages, so the future situation is still not optimistic.
