As the world's largest new energy vehicle market, under the serious interference of the epidemic, the new energy market in 2020 still has good sales results, in the past year, new energy passenger car sales are still erupting growth, annual sales of nearly 3 million units, many car companies in the development of this trend, are also scrambling to launch their own pure electric models, want to make a profit in this fertile new energy passenger car market, after all, in the face of huge market share, which car company can not be moved?
Such a big "cake" in China, the veteran joint venture car company Chevrolet, naturally also wants to share a piece, so in February 2020, Shanghai General Motors Chevrolet brand first pure electric city coupe CHEVROLET MENLO patrol listed, as Chevrolet's first pure electric coupe, Chang Patrol perfectly reproduced the design highlights of THE CHEVROLET FNR-X concept car, in the new energy market competition at the moment, but also unveiled the curtain on the domestic new energy market. Then let's see how these two new models have been upgraded.
The success of the patrol is certainly a credit to the exterior design, the front face of the electroplated decorative strip and the sharp LED headlights are integrated, outlining the flying wing line, the closed double grille shape, all highlight the sense of technology, the black movement surrounds the components below, adding a sense of sport.
The two new models have the same design on the side of the body and other models, simple and clean, the rearview mirrors on both sides integrate LED turn signals, the suspension roof special effect design, the 17-inch two-color five-spoke sports hub, the roof luggage rack, both scientific and sporty, clean and sharp shape, creating a strong visual impact.
The coupe-style slipback design, the tail combination LED headlights and the obsidian decorative strip embedded with the Chevrolet logo form a running design, bringing a full sense of sport and technology.
The black enveloping kit runs from the front face through the rear of the car, and adopts an aerodynamic design, which enhances the appearance value and effectively reduces airflow interference and makes handling easier.
The interior design is based on the Chevrolet family-style two-element cockpit design, with a clear and regular layout, 8-inch LCD instrument and 8-inch touch display, geometric textured leather material decorative panels, adding a lot of beautiful and stylish attributes.
The length of 4665mm wide, 1813mm high and 1513mm, the wheelbase of 2650mm body size, brings a spacious interior, ample rear space and spacious rear seats for a better riding experience. The 433L's trunk space is easy to meet everyday needs, and when there is a greater load demand, the rear seats can be flattened in exchange for 1077L of carrying space.
Different from the traditional drive form, Chang patrol adopts an intelligent three-electric system, that is, a high-performance electric drive system, a 3×3 electronic control system, and a ternary lithium battery system, equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor, with a maximum power of 130kW and a maximum torque of 265N·m. The gearbox is a single-speed transmission for electric vehicles, with a maximum speed of 170km/h.
The battery is a ternary lithium battery of 61.1kWh, clTC pure electric driving range of up to 518km, no need to worry about travel endurance, fast charge 0.5h can charge the power to 80%.
The intelligent water temperature circulation temperature control system can dynamically adjust when the battery temperature is too low or too high, providing a suitable working temperature for the battery, effectively increasing the service life of the battery, and also protecting the safety of the battery temperature and preventing spontaneous combustion at too high a temperature.
3 driving modes and 3-stop energy recovery system, effectively reducing energy consumption and reducing energy consumption burden.
As a pure electric model, in terms of intelligent configuration, it is natural to be full of technology, installing Xiaoxue OS intelligent car connection system, Apple CarPlay vehicle interconnection system, a new generation of Onstar intelligent car connection system, mobile phone virtual key, automatic parking and other functions, to enhance a lot of convenience and sense of technology.
In terms of safety assistance, lightweight and high-strength body, comprehensive airbags, TPMS tire pressure monitoring, ESP9.3 electronic stability control system, etc., all-round protection of travel safety.
Chevrolet, as a veteran car company, its strength is naturally needless to say, and Chang Patrol is Chevrolet's first and only pure electric coupe, whether it is the appearance design or intelligent electric system, is a weapon that Chevrolet can fight in the new energy vehicle market.
