As a very young new energy brand under Great Wall Motors, Euler's models are all cute and cute design routes, focusing more on the female car market, which sounds like a relatively niche market, but in fact, Euler has achieved quite good results. First of all, I can often see a lot of little sisters who open Euler on the road, and secondly, from the perspective of sales, Euler has broken through the 10,000-unit mark in June this year. It seems that the cute design is indeed attractive, so what about adding a little performance element?
Yes, the Euler Good Cat GT to be test-driven today is a model that adds a sporty design in addition to cuteness, and there are also highlights in performance.
First of all, it follows the overall design of Euler Good Cat, but adds "GT" elements in many details, and more importantly, the Good Cat GT uses a more powerful drive motor, from 105kW of Good Cat to 126kW, an increase of 20%, and the torque is also increased by 40N·m, which is still very impressive in data. Moreover, in terms of technology, the Euler Good Cat GT adopts an integrated electric drive module and an integrated power module, which significantly reduces the volume of the power system and improves some efficiency. According to official data, the Euler Good Cat GT's 100 km acceleration performance is 6.9s, a rather attractive number, according to the official results, this is basically the fastest model of 150,000 kilometers or less, and can easily hang the 1.5T Honda Civic on the road.
Euler good cat GT body improvement quality of 1510kg, relative to 126kW (143Ps) of power, the thrust-to-weight ratio is not outstanding, replaced by a fuel vehicle I think it is difficult to run this performance, so in addition to power, but also thanks to the output advantages of the motor, fast response, torque to come directly, and there is no transmission mechanism to waste time. However, here we also draw a small question mark for the time being, and wait for the professor to have the opportunity to take the instrument to measure it in the future.
From the experience point of view, the moment when the Euler good cat GT started, the feeling of pushing back was not obvious, and the strength of the entire acceleration process was also very average, so you would feel less fast in the body, but a little attention to the speedometer found that it would soon be 100km/h upward. Compared with the ordinary version of the good cat, the power experience of the good cat GT has changed significantly, and it is indeed much stronger, and it is not only reflected in the acceleration of 100 kilometers. There are more high-speed sections of this test drive activity, and in the experience, the power reserve of the middle and back section of the good cat GT has also exceeded my expectations, and 100km/h acceleration can also have a certain strength, so it is not just a small pure electric vehicle model that can only travel in the city.
120km/h after that is indeed tired, after all, the power is here, but to meet the demand is definitely enough. After all, the users of good cats and MINI users have a certain overlap, compared to the 1.5T three-cylinder low-power MINI ONE that breaks 100 seconds away, the good cat GT is at least two blocks higher. In addition, Euler good cat GT has a variety of driving modes to choose from, namely economic, standard, sport and automatic, it is said that the later through the FOTA upgrade will also join the ECO+ mode, from the experience point of view, the difference between the different modes is in the calibration of the accelerator pedal, the actual output power has not changed.
Chassis, Euler good cat GT or the use of the combination of the front McPherson rear torque beam, tuning on the bias to comfortable, or pay attention to the filtration of bumps, and did not have a motiony feeling like its power at a glance, although it is a torque beam, but the texture is really good, only when encountering large bumps, the left and right wheel interference may be slightly more, but now the road conditions are good, this is not a problem. The steering wheel feels good, relatively calm, the damping is also very delicate, and the texture transmitted to people is quite ok. The steering ratio is not large, with a small body, the daily driving is still relatively flexible, and the handling is not set too aggressively, or the pursuit of good driving, comfort and texture.
Finally, let's talk about endurance, this pure electric vehicle can't get around the topic. Equipped with a ternary lithium battery pack, the capacity of 59.1kWh, and equipped with intelligent constant temperature thermal management technology, the mileage given by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 480km, which is about 20km less than the ordinary good cat long endurance version, in exchange for a stronger power output, I think it is very cost-effective, 480km is certainly enough, fast charge 0.5 hours can charge 80% of the power, slow charge time is 8 hours.
The professor has done a static analysis of the good cat GT before, and this time we will briefly review it. The first is that it is consistent with the overall design of the ordinary version of the good cat, but with many details added.
Once independent brands are relying on the "bowl big affordable" to go to the world, rarely rely on design, personality to attract consumers, and now Euler good cat can definitely "eat by the face". The whole car is all curved, round and rolling, round lines, round headlights, very cute, and Fiat 500, Porsche 911 in the design style has in common. The good cat is not without their roots, and its exterior design was written by the former Porsche designer Eamon Delta, who had previously participated in the design of famous models such as the non-Fiat 500, Porsche 911, and later the Taycan.
Compared with the normal version, the Good Cat GT has added red elements in the front, middle and rear places, and there are red trim strips under the front encirclement.
The rim design is also a little red, and the brake calipers are very intimately painted red for you.
There is also a small spoiler at the rear with the word "GT" engraved on the side.
The whole tail shape is very rounded, and the design of the split headlights is also very distinctive, all are placed up and down, there is nothing in the middle, resulting in the good cat's "ass" look super large, and the visual center of gravity is also very low. The rear enclosure is also a new design, using a carbon-like texture, and there is also a diffuser shape, adding a red element in the middle, a bit like a "cat's paw", which must not add a 10 -- "visual horsepower"?
The interior is also consistent with the good cat as a whole, mainly adding red decorative elements, highlighting the sports atmosphere. The design of the interior of the good cat's carriage is still very simple, with electronic barriers, joint screens, and many through-line designs, making the interior look very stretched and wide.
The steering wheel adopts a two-spoke design, the upper part is made of red material, which feels good in the hand, and the fit of three or nine points is very good.
The gear shift mechanism is a knob type electronic gear, and cancels the P gear, it takes a little time to use, in some scenarios, this design is actually the possibility of misoperation, because the knob is circular, there is no fixed position corresponding to the forward gear or reverse gear, the design is of course an improvement, but the use experience is not as good as the traditional gear, many of this knob type electronic file are this kind of problem.
When I first experienced the good cat GT, I was shocked by its configuration performance, combined with the price of 135,000 yuan, it was indeed a cross-level existence, and it was even lower than the price of the highest cat in the ordinary version. After carefully reading the configuration information, it is found that in fact, many high configurations need to be optional.
For example, the assisted driving system is standard in the ordinary version of the good cat top model, but the good cat GT needs to be optional, as well as the reversing side image system, adaptive cruise, seat heating/massage, facial recognition, etc. These good cat GT are not standard, so the price is 8390 yuan cheaper than the top cat, but the motor power is larger, the exterior is more handsome, so it is also reasonable.
In addition, the upper limit of the good cat GT is higher than the ordinary version, and the configuration that the ordinary version does not have can be selected, such as front seat ventilation, seat memory, and the electric trunk, the induction trunk with position memory, the above optional configurations are divided into two "BUFF", namely ORA-Cabin Comfort Cockpit Gain BUFF, which contains a series of comfort configurations, the price is 8000 yuan; there is ORA-Pilot 3.0 intelligent auxiliary driving gain BUFF, the price is 10000 yuan, I think it's great value for money.
If the ordinary version of the good cat is a cute, classic style, then the good cat GT is to play the trend fashion to the extreme, the same price point is indeed no similar style competitors, ORA can be said to open a blue ocean. Many young people do not pursue space, configuration (of course, Euler good cat space, configuration, practicality are excellent), only like personality fashion, once they may only be able to choose MINI, Beetle and other these personality models, now have a lower price, better power, higher configuration of Euler good cat GT.
