When you think of "GT" and "Magnolia", what comes to mind first? Accelerated Thief? Hardcore women? Yes, this is the main theme of today's test drive of this car. First of all, as a pure electric car, it accelerates from 0-100 km in only 6.9 seconds, leading similar models; secondly, it is not willing to be mediocre in positioning family cars, with a classic retro and personalized sports appearance, attracting strong onlookers from all over the network. Well ~ it is euler good cat GT Mulan version, a very cute car!
Haval's "dog", Euler's "cat", in recent years, Great Wall Motors began to take the road of innovation, the new car naming and animal combination, which invisibly pulled into the intimacy with consumers, Euler good cat GT Mulan edition (hereinafter referred to as the good cat GT) was born in this context. As a blockbuster model of Euler, euler good cat has always attracted consumer attention from its debut to its listing, and colleagues have also experienced it statically before, so this time we will focus on its dynamic performance.
Old rules, we still summarize the five major knowledge points, 1 minute to preempt the next:
1. With a retro sports cool appearance, and high-energy sports contrast imitation fur interior, bringing a different visual experience;
2. Not living up to the name of "GT", with a catapult mode, the official claim is only 6.9 seconds for 100 km/h acceleration, and it breaks 7 seconds for the first time in the same class;
3. Positioning small SUV, wheelbase reached 2650mm, excellent rear space, can easily sit 3 people;
4. Lemon platform + coffee intelligent ecology, to meet the strict global standard inspection system, bringing a safer driving experience;

Static review:
What is the first thing to consider when buying a car? Needless to say, of course, it is the appearance value, often a good-looking car invisibly increases the desire to buy, and at this point the good cat GT is still in place. Compared with the previous Euler Good Cat, the GT version adds more sporty kits, such as several red details and imitation carbon fiber materials, as well as the addition of spoilers and diffusers, indicating that it is the most powerful cat in the Euler cat family.
The design of the front face is still based on simplicity, the engine compartment coordination line is perfectly combined with the body, plus circular LED headlights, and a circle of chrome decorations is also designed around, how is it cute? It also has a bit of a vintage flavor. Of course, the good cat GT, like many pure electric models, uses a grilleless design on the front face, with L-shaped fangs decorative parts on both sides, making the structural layer of the body shape more abundant, and it is easy to make people fall in love with it at a glance.
Coming to the side, the rounded lines create a swooping posture, further highlighting the sportiness of the new car. Although the new car is positioned as a small car, in fact, the space in the car is not small at all, its length/width/height are 4254/1848/1596mm, the wheelbase is 2650mm, the minimum ground clearance is 120mm, which is comparable to the urban SUV in terms of data, and the actual riding experience is also very comfortable.
The rear of the car also looks very simple, the overall styling style and the front design are very uniform, the LED tail light group is designed inside the rear windshield, and the diffuser at the bottom also uses red decorative lines to set off the sports atmosphere more in place. And what impressed me the most was the spoiler above the rear of the car, the triangle resembles the ears of a kitten, to be honest, this design is still relatively rare, and it is very recognizable to drive out.
Entering the car, Euler good cat GT Mulan version is eye-catching, the interior is lively but textured, the red and black two-color combination brings a bright carriage atmosphere, not to mention the little sister, even my little brother also likes this design. In addition, the through-type central control screen, suede with stitching, and the wrapping of soft materials can be described as sports, retro, and luxury. The most surprising thing is that the buttons in the car use rounded and textured retro levers, which are very stylish.
The 7-inch full LCD instrument panel and 10.25-inch central control screen are moderately sized, of which the two sides of the dashboard are fuel gauges and motor inputs, and the middle part can view driving data, audio media, Bluetooth telephones, map navigation, alarm prompts and setting functions. The central control large screen has built-in ORA Smart-café OS coffee intelligent car control system and is equipped with Qualcomm Qualcomm professional vehicle platform. In the actual experience, the logic of this system is clear, and the use is smooth and easy to get started.
As a good cat GT version of the model, the manufacturer is very sincere in the configuration, the test drive model added a facial recognition device on the A pillar for driving fatigue monitoring; in addition, the electric tailgate, mobile phone wireless charging, front seat ventilation / heating / massage functions are also readily available, and the comfort is fully guaranteed. In addition, there is a surprise to the author is its trunk space, under normal conditions, the trunk volume is 228 liters, and the volume after the rear seats are reclined can reach 858 liters, which is really a big space for small cars!
Test Drive Experience:
In terms of static experience, Euler Good Cat GT Mulan Edition has been unexpected, so what will it feel like to drive? Let's first talk about the power part, since it is the GT version, it is definitely stronger than the ordinary version, which adopts the permanent magnet synchronous motor with a front-facing drive layout, with a maximum power of 126kW and a maximum torque of 250N·m. Compared with Euler Good Cat, the two parameters of the new car have been increased by 21kW and 40N·m respectively, which is the difference between the high-power version and the standard version on the fuel car.
According to official data, the 100-kilometer acceleration of the good cat GT is only 6.9 seconds, which can be described as the first in the same level, belonging to the Civic and Shadow Leopard in the A-class fuel vehicles. As for the range that consumers are most concerned about, because the "GT" is more powerful, the energy consumption is slightly improved, and the neDC comprehensive mileage is 480km, but this is more than enough for urban traffic, and it is not a problem to occasionally travel out of the city.
As we all know, electric vehicles benefit from the direct, rapid response characteristics of the motor, so they are very sensitive when starting to accelerate, and the good cat GT is naturally no exception, although the car is full of 4 adults, but its start is still very "energetic", the instantaneous power output under the electric door is immediately coming, the overall driving experience is much lighter than the ordinary version of the good cat, which can be said to live up to the name of "GT".
With the continuous increase in speed, the acceleration performance of the new car is still very strong, as long as you step on the electric door when changing lanes to overtake, the output of the mid-section power can also be continuous, and the overall response is linear and continuous, so that your acceleration is effortless, and it feels more sensitive than the small steel cannon of the gasoline car. Similarly, Euler Good Cat GT Mulan Edition provides five driving modes of standard, economic, sport, AI adaptive and super power saving, which are slightly different from each other, and I personally feel that the daily use standard is enough.
It is worth mentioning that the new car also has a catapult start function, the maximum torque can reach 250N·m in an instant, and if you want to let loose, it is a matter of electric doors! Energy recovery as a symbol of electric vehicles, good cat GT provides strong, medium and weak three basic recovery modes, and in order to ensure driving comfort, it is recommended to put in the middle or weak mode, after all, there is a little sense of drag in the strong mode, which can also be understood, but it is still within the acceptable range.
In the adjustment of the steering system, I personally feel that there is not much difference between the GT and the ordinary version, and the overall style is more inclined to be home-oriented, perhaps this also takes into account the female driver! But fortunately, there is basically no virtual turning accuracy is relatively high, coupled with the layout of the battery makes its center of gravity lower, the tilt of the steering process is also smaller, so even in the high-speed cornering can give people a lot of confidence.
Chassis tuning is also very in line with my driving needs, although the good cat GT uses the front McPherson rear torque beam suspension combination, but its tuning can be just right, giving people a very comfortable feeling, but because the GT version is more sporty, so it will be more obvious when passing through the potholed road, the feedback of the suspension on the road surface will be more obvious, but it is not unacceptable, after all, at this price point, it is still a little difficult to want fish and bear paws.
As a sports model, sound insulation and noise reduction is certainly not its strength, but in general, it can also reach the middle and upper levels, when driving at low and medium speeds, the environment in the car can be described as quiet, but the tire noise will be slightly obvious on the high speed, but the whole will not cause too much trouble, in addition, the motor will also emit a little noise when it is operating under high load, in fact, I feel that the tram can also be accepted with a little sound, which can reflect the feeling that the car has a sense of movement.
Full text summary:
How about asking me Euler Good Cat GT Mulan Edition? As the flagship product of the good cat family, it is qualified enough, whether it is the appearance, interior, acceleration or endurance, it is the best in its class, and it also has the strength to make you switch from a fuel car to an electric car.
