In its Volvo, XC40 considered the highest color value of the cars.
Although the use of family design ideas, but perhaps because there is no “former” bondage, XC40 designers who use more abstract ideas, thus rendering the more fashion sense.
Therefore, when selecting the first electric vehicle, the first electric determined Volvo of the XC40 seems to be more sensible, not to mention to the BBA as the representative of the majority of luxury brands have opted for a medium or large SUV as the first pure electric car, Volvo seems to be a move to avoid “a positive exchange of fire.”
However, the recent announcement of the price of a pure electric XC40 overseas but people scared out of his chin.
It is reported that the price of a pure electric XC40 in the UK up to 53,155 pounds ( about 450,000 yuan ), also in the UK, Fuel version XC40 the starting price was 27,905 pounds ( about 235,000 yuan ).
This means that a pure electric vehicles XC40≈2 beggar edition fuel XC40, even if pure electric version is more expensive than fuel version is the current trend, but the price is more than double some really something unimaginable.
In particular on the domestic fuel version of the XC40’s starting price is already below 200,000. Could it be that pure electric version of the XC40 has “unfathomable” strength, only to Volvo in pricing so confident?
a, CMA platform “oil to electricity”, 4.9s Pobai is the biggest bright spot
It is understood that, pure electric version of the XC40 shared CMA platform and fuel version, althoughThe platform was developed with consideration to the follow-up of plug-in hybrid and pure electric vehicles, but the end is not designed for electric vehicles to create a new platform, “oil power” excuse seems behind.
▲ Benz EQC
But, also belong to the ” oil to electricity “EQC Mercedes-Benz and BMW iX3 ( EQC can be seen as GLC level of pure electric version, iX3 was pure electric version of the X3 ), both for the exterior has been redesigned, mostly showing up more than fuel version of the model with the “futuristic”, EQC even spend the through dual interior Benz is most proud of.
Volvo seems some do not take heart, you can see pure electric version of the XC40 just closed the grille, and the original engine compartment into a pre-prepared box, basically copied the remaining fuel version of the XC40.
As for the interior, with the toes can think of are used to Volvo the Nordic “frigid wind”, this design was first presented at the time seem to have some new ideas on the XC90, but all models have to spend money with the interior, it has gradually begun to attract fatigued.
Well, let’s generate confidence and the Volvo XC40 pure electric version sold for $ 450,000 What factor is it? It is understood, XC40 purely electrical version of the front and rear axles each mounted on a motor, the system maximum power of 300kW, can be completed within 4.9s 0-100km / h acceleration.
Further, the car equipped with the battery pack 78kWh, wltp mileage up to 400km. See, XC40 pure electric powered version seems pretty good, 4.9s Pobai strength ahead of the Audi e-tron of 5.7s and Mercedes-Benz EQC of 5.1s, BMW iX3 not yet on the market, but said they have to in order to break 5s hundred.
The Audi e-tron starting price of up to 692,800 yuan, even if EQC should realize the localization of 579,800 yuan, if the future of pure electric version of the XC40 really set in with similar overseas edition of 450,000 yuan, it seems cost-effective high rhythm?
However, this is just standing traditional luxury brand angle conclusion.
Second, the traditional luxury brand was actually the cheapest electric car?
the breakdown of traditional luxury brand is relatively popular mass-produced electric car, basically only the Audi e-tron, Mercedes-Benz EQC , I-PACE Jaguar and Porsche Taycan.
just Taycan the price is relatively high, it seems that the first three can be compared to it.
see, XC40 purely electrical version of the four dimensions, although at a distinct disadvantage status, after all, is to locate the lowest compact SUV, but its performance Pobai 4.9s behind Jaguar I-PACE, 400km endurance although low, but also the most competitive products in the order of 400km.
From the price point of view, Overseas XC40 pure electric version of the play than the current minimum price of 130,000 yuan cheaper Benz EQC seems really cost-effective choice .
Just do not forget, in addition to traditional luxury brand, as well as take the unusual way of Tesla, not to mention there Polestar Volvo heritage descent pole star.
▲ Tesla Model 3
While the Model 3 and locating Polestar 2 are cars, but also have aGiven reference resistance. In the face of both, XC40 pure electric version of “seemingly” no cost, and performance is not Polestar 2, life is also not a small gap.
▲ Polar Star Polestar 2
and in addition to these two, there are not too popular, but the price is as low as 226,800 yuan Audi Q2L e-tron, although the performance and battery life are “bad,” but after all, a lot cheaper.
It is clear that the reality is that if the future of pure electric version of the XC40 really sold for 450,000 yuan with similar overseas, then in addition to special affluent Volvo loyal pink children the basic will not have much consumers are willing to contribute new Volvo sales.
car poly Summary
Indeed, the car poly monarch personally think that Audi e- tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC some high priced, but these two larger models also seems to highlight the significance of brand strength, while open brand of motorized course, take the amount of task is not heavy.
but the situation is different with Volvo has, after all, XC40 already is the entry-level SUV, should the pure electric version of the entry-level model on the set of “high”, and that the follow-up of high-end pure electric version of the model of how to do?
may be a guess is that the 45 million price Overseas is a top or starting with limited edition price, while the future listing XC40 pure electric version of the starting price or greatly reduced.
If so, XC40 pure electric version and perhaps a chance.
