Recently, SAIC-GM-made Chevrolet’s first pure electric car – officially listed Chang patrol, new cars were introduced 4 models, general subsidies after the price range of 15.99-17.99 yuan.
Looking at the current Chevrolet models in the sale, the whole system basically using small turbocharged engines. Of course, this is also the result of the environment caused.
and in the field of new energy, a joint venture brand in the country’s development speed is not fast, but fortunately did not fall too much. Chang patrol as Chevrolet in the country’s first domestic pure electric vehicle, has officially launched a contest with rivals.
So, in the end how its product strength?
concept car full of elements
First of all, from the appearance, the smooth patrol vehicle design can be said that very sense of hierarchy. The entire design is actually a continuation of a number of Chevrolet FNR-X concept car design elements.
ratio presented widening front, down form, creating a flat visual experience. The front face of the grille with a closed design, together with the intermediate Chevrolet brand LOGO and fast charge with a hidden port. At the same time, a chrome trim sides LED headlamps linked group.
It is compared to the upper portion of the grille, the more complicated it is designed. With a short upper trapezoidal intake port, through the center is a black tile, and the formation of a blade type with the inlet port sides of the bumper, while the lower part is hollow with a silver shield.
side of the body, the proportion is relatively smooth patrol slender. Let me talk about it in the body of data, its length and breadth were 4665/1813 / 1538mm, wheelbase 2660mm, together with the five-color 17-inch wheels.
In fact, from the side, a bit like a smooth cross-border patrol car, such as a black surround, black wheel arch and silver roof luggage rack.
using a round smooth suspension roof design, more interesting is that using the black bright design A-pillar, the entire integrated with the window, and an upper portion of the car vehicle window molding also extends to D-pillar.
It is worth mentioning that, the D pillar trim also has a plurality of parallel projections, the main role is to reduce wind resistance.
Chang patrol tail design is also very rich sense of design, are connected to both sides of the tail group thick black trim, the trim piece is actually D-pillar and side of the body is connected, from the side to see its shape is like a bolt of lightning.
Chang patrol English identity “MENLO” are embedded in the bottom left group of lamps, the next blue “EV” logo also shows its identity.
In fact, the whole appearance, the smooth patrol brought a sense of design is very attractive indeed, perhaps it is also a way to attract young consumers, after all Chevrolet models in most of the country appearance of a dual design.
hydrogen Blue Interior delightful
From the interior, the center console and patrol smooth appearance, as are its highlights layering.
The most eye-catching is that it should be called “hydrogen blue” Larry interior color, light blue color that looks fresh, and also with a blue interior ambience lights, highlighting its new energy vehicles flavor.
It is a standard 8-inch center console LCD meter, and general support, economic and switching three different modes of motion. Size in the control panel is low with 8 inches high with 10 inches.
internal equipped with Chevrolet MyLink + system to support on-board APP, personalized account, OTA-line upgrade, micro-letter team as well as voice control. Of course, CarPlay and CarLife also not absent.
Further, in the smart security configuration, with models and also equipped with an auxiliary line, in order to deviate from the laneAnd automatic parking function.
In fact, Chang patrol the interior there is a place left me a deeper impression, it is the front cup holder. We can see that by a motion picture, with both sides of the cup holder slot, a user may be fixed according to the size of the object placed themselves, practicability is still relatively strong.
life to meet the most usage scenarios
When it comes to the power system, this is the biggest highlight of the tour smooth. Which is equipped with a maximum power of 110kW, peak torque of 350Nm permanent magnet synchronous motor, and a capacity of ternary lithium batteries 52.5kWh.
the official NEDC mileage to 410km.
in charging, fast charge DC patrol smooth words, from 0 to 80 percent charge for 40 minutes, slow charging time is 8 hours.
In the driving mode, will provide general patrol Chang, economic and sports three modes, as well as strong, the light three kinds of energy recovery mode.
competing products
When it comes to smooth patrol of competing products, first thing to say is that it’s siblings – Buick bluish. In fact, from the design to the power system, you will find that there are many similarities between the two, but the main difference between two points.
The first is the brand, at this point you really want to Buick a slight advantage, after all, the product’s model is quite popular.
The second point is the price range of the price, light blue 2020 models three models of subsidies for the 17.78-19.98 million, while the price range of the patrol smooth full-line of four models subsidy 15.99-17.99 million, at this point the difference between the two is the most obvious. After all, you can use light blue with the lowest price to buy Chang patrol of top models.
As for other competing products Chang patrol, in fact, from the location, the price there is indeed a lot of life in three areas, such as BYD Qin Pro EV, Guangzhou Automobile New Energy Aion S and geometric models such as A. But from the body design, you are difficult to divide them into aclass.
If you really want to compare it, I think the consumer is that you must first determine exactly what kind of design like, followed in considering the configuration, battery life and price and other factors, and finally determine the candidate models.
summary
If you really want to buy a 15-20 ten thousand yuan joint venture brands of compact electric car, but it is still smooth patrol can be considered. The main price in the same situation, Cheong patrol and own-brand models compares favorably in life. As to how the sales, really makes us look forward. [END]
