With the increasing market demand for new energy vehicles in recent years, mainstream traditional car companies have clearly turned the track and invested in the research of electric vehicles, in the Japanese brand, in addition to the "big three" Toyota, Honda and Nissan, GAC Mitsubishi also brought the first pure electric SUV - Artuka.
On March 23, the new car was officially launched, priced at 199,800-229,800 yuan.
Artuka and Outlander, the main attack on the 200,000 yuan SUV market, but in the field of pure electric vehicles, in terms of product attributes, Artuka and Weilai and other new car-making forces are different, its competitors are more like Volkswagen iD.4 X and other traditional pure electric models.
Artuka before the listing, there have been a lot of media have carried out real car test drive, from the feedback of all parties, Artuka in the design and intelligent performance is remarkable, as to whether it can be as good as the original GAC Mitsubishi launched Outlander by the market affirmation, today we will explore its products and prices to explore ~
There is a difference between the exterior design and the mainstream electric vehicle
Purely from the styling point of view, Artuco's new energy vehicle attributes are not very obvious, most of the new energy vehicles on the market give people a very simple feeling, highlighting the avant-garde sense, and Atuka is more to highlight the sense of strength of the body line, full of hard temperament.
The front face of the new car still adopts the family-oriented shape of GAC Mitsubishi, the overall design is wide open and closed, and the split headlights with the angular angles on both sides are combined with the large-size grille with the "C" symmetry, showing a strong visual impact.
New energy vehicles do not need to consider heat dissipation for the engine, so Artuco's forward grille is designed as a closed type, which reduces the wind resistance from the perspective of practicality.
In addition, although Artuco is biased towards wildness in terms of styling, the designer's aesthetic of fashion is still online, such as the use of large chrome trims and the highlighting of the young suspended roof.
Overall, the comparison between Artuka's exterior design and mainstream electric vehicles, the biggest difference is in taking the hardcore route, which is currently rare in the same level.
The smart experience is also quite user-friendly
At present, the listed electric vehicles, in the interior central control design, reducing mechanical buttons is already a conventional setting, here, we do not mention those "big and unified" LCD screens, in short, in the creation of a scientific and technological atmosphere, Artuco has kept pace with the times, especially compared to the models currently on sale by GAC Mitsubishi, Atuka's interior design is relatively new and fashionable.
In my opinion, compared with the competitors of the same level, the special feature of intelligence is reflected in the details, such as the new generation of iFLYTEK XTTS voice, the system is not only convenient for the driver, it can be located according to the sound source, to achieve intelligent voice interaction in the whole scene, the benefits are obvious, other passengers can also control the display interface according to the needs, when the driver is driving, it can reduce the interference with the driver.
In addition, in the choice of car mode, Artuka is more detailed to be equipped with nap mode, rainstorm mode and other modes according to the user's different scene use needs; like the usual holidays to drive long distances, stop after starting the nap mode, the vehicle will automatically help you adjust the window, car temperature, seats, etc., quite humane.
More friendly to female users is that artuco equipped with AR enhanced real-life instrument navigation and 540 ° surround view system, which is also considered to take into account the actual driving situation of the user, but whether the introductory pioneer version is equipped or not is not known.
In my opinion, in a certain price range, the market environment in which the same category of models is gradually increasing, the competition between models is more refined, which is obvious.
And the product that can be chosen by more people must be able to impress users in some details, in short, whether the intelligent experience can be recognized, not that it is cool, but that it can experience its convenience and practicality in daily use, at this point, Atukao does do quite ok.
Competing with volkswagen iD.4 X, what are the selling points?
Atuka is the first model of GAC Mitsubishi, but unlike the domestic joint venture plant, which mainly relies on foreign companies, GAC Group has given technical support in the field of new energy.
In addition, in terms of the warranty of the battery pack, GAC Mitsubishi also gave an unlimited number of years of three-electric warranty commitment for the first car owner, which can dispel consumers' concerns about the reliability of the three electricity to a certain extent.
In terms of price, Artuco has clearly locked its opponents on traditional new energy vehicles such as the Volkswagen ID.4 X.
Volkswagen ID.4 X in the same level, is a comprehensive performance of a strong pure electric SUV, it uses the MEB electric vehicle platform, the endurance is not bad, but also maintain the Volkswagen car's consistent driving texture. And Artuka competes with the ID.4 X car, the more obvious advantage should be space.
Tuco's length, width, height and wheelbase are fully ahead of ID.4 X, its wheelbase reaches 2830mm, in addition, The Atuka trunk adopts a double-layer design and can be expanded to a maximum of 1102L, which is used as a family car, the car basically has no worries about loading items, and the flat platform provided by Atuka is also very friendly to users with more family members.
In terms of battery life, Atuka uses a 69.9kWh large-capacity ternary lithium battery pack, the CLTC working range reaches 520 kilometers, and urban travel can basically achieve a weekly charge.
In general, Artuka in the same level, space, intelligent experience are out of hand, biased to tough design is one of its special features, but Artuka after all as a brand new model into the market, the follow-up three electric quality and durability still need to be tested, only when the product quality is recognized at that time, can Let Artuka "price" play a greater "value".
