How popular are new energy medium and large SUVs? Roughly calculated, there are more than 50 new energy medium and large SUVs on sale in the market. However, this model is indeed a rigid demand model, and the market scale is also expanding, so major manufacturers are still queuing up to enter the market.
In June, Dongfeng Yipai eπ008 was officially launched, and the new car was launched in two models, both priced at 216,600 yuan, which is a relatively people-friendly type. So, is this car worth buying?
What are the highlights of eπ008?
Dongfeng Yipai, the popularity in the new energy market is not high, counting the eπ008 listed this time, there are only two models in total. Therefore, it needs to come up with some attractive enough selling points to be able to gain a foothold in the market.
First of all, eπ08The appearance has reached a relatively high level, using a closed front face and through-type headlights, and the inside of the light strip is equipped with a hidden starlight grille, which has a relatively high degree of recognition, and it is also easier to be recognized by young users, and the calm and atmospheric style can also attract many family users.
Secondly, the eπ08 has a length of 5002mm and a wheelbase of 3025mm, and adopts a 6-seat layout, which has a good performance in terms of space.
In addition, all models are equipped with functions such as lumbar support for the main and passenger seats, heating and ventilation of the front seats, leg rest adjustment of the second row of seats, rear seat air outlets, temperature zone control, and fragrance devices in the car are not absent, with strong comfort. For family users, only models with relatively high comfort are what they need.
In terms of intelligent cockpit, eπ008 is equipped with a 15.6-inch central control screen and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which supports gesture control, facial recognition, intelligent voice system, OTA upgrade, in-car biological monitoring system and other common functions, and also provides an app store, users can download a variety of commonly used APP, with strong entertainment functions.
In terms of intelligent driving, the eπ008 is equipped with L2 level driving assistance functions as standard, such as active braking, lane departure warning, fatigue driving reminder, transparent chassis, reversing side warning system, parallel assist, lane keeping assistance system, lane centering keeping, automatic parking and other functions are not absent, ensuring the safety of family users in an all-round way.
At the same time, the eπ008 also provides a variety of commonly used high-end configurations such as 50W fast charging for mobile phones in the front row, streaming media rearview mirrors, and 64-color ambient lighting, surpassing most joint venture models in the same price range. The price of this car is only 216,600 yuan, so such a configuration is still more sincere.
Which is more suitable, pure electric or extended range?
eπ008 launched a total of two new cars, the price is 216,600 yuan, the configuration is basically the same, the main difference between the two cars is the power system, one is a pure electric model, the other is an extended range electric model.
The all-electric version is equipped with a 200 kW rear single motor with a range of 636 km and a power consumption of only 14.7 kWh per 100 km in CLTC mode, while the range extender electric version is equipped with a 1.5-liter engine with a maximum power of 108 kW as a range extender and a rear single motor with a maximum power of 200 kW, with a pure electric range of 210 km in CLTC mode and 1,300 km in full fuel and full charge.
Both cars perform well in terms of power, but they are aimed at different user groups. The advantage of pure electric models is that the cost of using the car is lower, and the disadvantage is that it has a certain range anxiety, which is suitable for those family users who are more convenient to charge, more regular to use the car, do not often run long distances, and are more sensitive to the cost of using the car.
The advantage of the extended-range electric version is that it has no range anxiety, and it is more convenient to refuel, in the case of emergency car, it can be refueled for emergency, but this will inevitably bring higher car costs, suitable for those who use the car more frequently, and often run long distances.
Judging from the market feedback, extended-range electric is also more popular than pure electric models, and several medium and large SUVs with better performance in the market, such as Wenjie M9, Ideal L6, Wenjie M7, etc., are famous for their extended-range electric. If nothing else, the extended-range electric version will also be the main model of the eπ08.
Who are the competitors?
At present, there are a lot of new energy medium and large SUVs on the market, and the 200,000-level market where eπ008 is located is the focus of competition among major manufacturers, so what are the main competitive models of eπ08?
From the price point of view, Jiyue 01, Haobo HT, Zhiji LS6, Leap C16 and other models are direct competitors of eπ08. However, from the perspective of configuration, eπ008 has certain advantages, so it can also rely on its price advantage to grab some customers from hot-selling models such as Ideal L6 and Wenjie M7.
In terms of performance, eπ008 is ready to enter the mainstream market, it has done a good job of low price and high configuration to a certain extent, but brand building is not possible in a short period of time. This car has a strong attraction to family users, but also can attract some young consumers, if it can raise the brand influence to a higher level, then the prospects of this car are still good.
The competition in the new energy medium and large SUV market is indeed fierce, but the needs of consumers are also more diversified, and the entire market is also growing rapidly. If it were you, would you choose it?
