As we all know, Xiaomi is an extremely cost-effective mobile phone brand, its mobile phone is often cheaper than other mobile phones, and the configuration is higher while being cheaper, while declaring that the profit is always controlled below 5%. Therefore, Xiaomi has a certain well-known name in the mobile phone industry - "price butcher". In the automobile industry, there is also such a "price butcher", which is Changan Automobile.
Taking the recently very popular Changan UNI-V as an example, the price range of the car is only 108,900-13.19 million yuan, far lower than people's psychological price, and more importantly, the entry is both high-ended, such as driver assistance systems, 360-degree panoramic images, electric sunroofs, keyless entry, remote start, full LCD dashboard, driving recorder, sports-style seats, electric seats, near and far LED headlights, automatic air conditioners and rear air conditioning outlets, etc. are standard, refreshing the standard of 100,000-level compact cars.
With the listing of Changan UNI-V, many netizens are also looking forward to Changan's next new car - Changan C385 (internal code name, not informally named). This car was released at the Changan Automobile Science and Technology Ecology Conference in August last year, and is the first strategic model of Changan's new "dedicated electric vehicle platform".
Once the car was released, it relied on the avant-garde design style of the ultimate technology, which attracted the attention and discussion of many netizens. A few days ago, Changan New Energy released a number of official maps of its model codenamed C385, and announced the body size of the car, its length, width and height were 4820/1890/1480mm, the wheelbase was 2900mm, and the proper mid-size car level was not the compact car previously speculated.
Through the official picture released this time, there is no difference in shape from the previous official picture, but the body color is white, and the visual effect is more generous than gray.
In terms of appearance, the front face of Changan C385 adopts the consistent closed design of electric vehicles, with a narrow and sharp LED daily running light group on both sides, which has a strong visual impact. In addition, the internal design of the headlight group is also very chic, like petals, and it is reported that it can also form an interactive lamp language to interact with the owner.
On the side of the body, it adopts the sneak-back style that young users prefer, and is equipped with a low wind resistance wheel and hidden door handle design unique to new energy vehicles. The waistline of the new car is slightly raised, showing a more sporty coupe style, while the A-pillar and C-pillar window positions are also added to the rather ingenious design, providing the recognition of the new car.
The rear of the body, the overall shape is very exaggerated, do not rule out the suspicion of excessive force, equipped with the popular through-type taillights, the internal structure is very exquisite, like dragon scales, the two side light groups are also petal-shaped, echoing with the headlights. At the same time, the raised brake lights on the trunk cover look very personal, forming a two-stage fixed spoiler to add a sense of sport.
Overall, Changan C385 is still relatively conservative in design, and has not suddenly transitioned to an unacceptable style, and there are many similarities with Changan UNI-V models, which are still relatively good in this regard, at least many consumers can accept it.
Regarding the interior, the official has not revealed more information, and because Changan Automobile does not have other electric vehicles under the platform as a reference, the professor cannot guess what the interior layout design will be, but it is very likely that it will be adjusted based on the interior of Changan UNI-V.
In terms of power, the new car will provide pure electric and range extended hybrid versions, according to the latest exposure information, Changan C385 pure electric model will be equipped with a 58.1 degree (kWh) battery pack, battery energy density of 171 Watt Hours / kg, pure electric mileage of 515 kilometers, the maximum speed of 170 kilometers / h. The maximum power of the motor is 258 horsepower, the peak torque is 320 Nm, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is expected to be within 7 seconds.
The range extender hybrid version has an equivalent all-electric driving range of 160 km, a maximum power of 218 electric drives, a peak torque of 320 Nm, a maximum speed of 170 km / h, and a comprehensive fuel consumption of 5 l / 100 km.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that Changan C385 will also be equipped with a new generation of super collector electric drive with high-frequency pulse heating technology, which can also achieve 5 minutes of heating 20 °C in the extremely cold environment of -30 °C, effectively improving the low-temperature driving performance of the tram, and with waste heat recovery technology, improving the cruising range by 40-70 kilometers. To a certain extent, it reduces the mileage anxiety of winter travel, makes the geographical applicability of electric vehicles more suitable, and solves the problem of using cars at low temperatures.
The beginning of the article mentioned that Changan is a "price butcher", I believe many people are more concerned about the price of this car, there are not many new energy models on sale under Changan at present, and they are basically built for the oil to electricity platform, taking Changan Yidong EV and Changan CS55 pure electric version as an example, of which changan Yidong EV price range is 12.99-14.99 million yuan, compared to Yidong PLUS as a whole about 40,000 yuan.
The price range of Changan CS55 pure electric version is 159,900-20.09 million yuan, which is also more than 50,000 yuan more expensive than Changan CS55 PLUS, which shows that the threshold of new energy vehicles is much higher than that of fuel vehicles. If you take the analogy, the price range of Changan UNI-V is 108,900-13.19 million yuan, then the starting price of Changan C385 or more than 150,000 yuan, this price range corresponds to GAC AION S, Geometry A, BYD Qin PLUS EV and other models, what do you think?
It is true that if it is sold from more than 150,000 yuan, then Changan is not called a "price butcher", so considering Changan's strategic needs in the new energy market and the expectations of consumers, the actual price may be as low as Changan UNI-V, so it is unimaginable to set a new standard again. Of course, all this is only the professor's personal speculation, and in fact, it has to wait for the official announcement.
At present, the domestic oil price has reached a record high, many car owners are shouting that they can't afford to get up the oil, and the new energy car owners can be schadenfreude, have said: Charging life is really a beautiful thing, even if the oil price rises again, I do not panic. Confirm that sentence: The heavens are good for reincarnation, and the heavens have spared no one. And it is also the rise in oil prices, many consumers who hold coins to be purchased, already have the idea of buying new energy vehicles, if at this time, Changan can seize the opportunity to quickly launch the Changan C385 car, there may be a good response.
