A few days ago, foreign media exposed a set of smart genie #1's latest road test spy photos, spy photos showed more details. It is reported that the smart genie #1 mass production car will debut in China on April 7, and the first models will be delivered as early as December.
Smart Genie #1 is a new pure electric vehicle created by Daimler in collaboration with Geely, mainly for the Chinese and European markets.
The overall shape of the road test car is basically consistent with the concept car, and the founder is thick. The front and rear headlights are in a through-line design, in the shape of a Y; the difference is that the road test cancels the design of the two-way door in the concept car. In terms of size, the new car has a length of 4290mm and a wheelbase of 2750mm.
The smart genie #1 exterior design revolves around the "sensuality and sharpness" design philosophy, using pure body lines and elegant streamlined appearance, perfectly blending aesthetics and aerodynamics. Concealed door handles, an efficient aerodynamic kit and an active air intake grille (AGS) as standard throughout the series further optimize the vehicle's aerodynamics.
Smart Genie #1 has passed the rigorous test of China Automobile Research Institute engineering experts, and its wind resistance coefficient is as low as 0.29, and the reduction of wind resistance and wind noise not only improves the energy efficiency and comfort of the vehicle, but also extends the cruising range.
In terms of interior, the smart genie #1 road test car is basically consistent with the concept car, and the three-frame steering wheel is matched with a large-sized center console, and the overall shape is more rounded.
In terms of power, the new car is expected to be equipped with a rear-mounted motor with a maximum power of 200 kW, and it is also possible to launch a dual-motor four-wheel drive version.
Last September, the new Smart Pure Electric SUV concept car will make its world debut at the Munich International Motor Show; last year, from 11.19 to 11.22, the smart genie #1 concept car domestic tour began, ushering in the domestic debut.
In February, smart genie #1 was tested in Yakeshi, Inner Mongolia, where temperatures were nearly -40°C.
With the outstanding battery temperature control system, the system can preheat the battery at low temperatures; through the smart car APP or the car system, the driver and occupants can preset the travel time, the new smart genie #1 can intelligently start the battery heating; in addition, the new smart genie #1 hidden door handle is equipped with an ice-breaking function, even if covered with thin ice can be properly ejected.
Relying on Bosch's Body Electronic Stability System (ESP) and powerful all-electric drive system, smart Genie #1 delivers superior driving smoothness, handling stability, acceleration and braking on snow and ice roads, combining safety and driving pleasure.
