On April 25, Smart opened the pre-sale of the first member of the new generation of pure electric vehicle family in Hangzhou - the new smart genie #1, with a pre-sale price of 190,000-230,000 yuan after subsidies, and launched a total of Pro+ and Premium models.
In fact, as an A-class car, its price is not cheap, so where is the value of the new Smart Genie #1?
First of all, this is a product created by the Mercedes-Benz global design team, using a "sensual and sharp" design, two-color body, hidden door handles, aerodynamic wheels and multiple blackened trims to make it have a bit of crossover atmosphere, relatively small and delicate body looks cute but high-end, is the girl paper will like.
Of course, although smart and Mercedes-Benz origins are the same, the styling styles of the two brands maintain their own independence, and the new smart genie #1 is not the same as the smart in the past impression.
Unlike in the past, the new Smart Sprite #1 has a higher "height". Its length, width and height are 4270mm, 1822mm, 1636mm, and the wheelbase is 2750mm, which is the "longest smart" in history.
In addition, the wheelbase is usually the most influential on the performance of a car's cabin space, and the new smart genie #1 can make a wheelbase of 2750mm with a length of 4270mm, which is very efficient in the use of space, and the wide-body body of 1822mm is much larger than the conventional compact car.
Even the trunk space can be extended up to 986L, so whether it is the use of space or the driving space, I believe the new smart genie #1 will not disappoint.
It can be said that the cooperation with Geely has allowed Smart to develop in a new direction, and this car will be sold overseas in the future.
Although from the perspective of body shape, smart and Mercedes-Benz conventional products are still different, but in the matter of "comfort", they are the same.
For example, the new smart genie #1 front seat has 6-way electric adjustment and 4-way electric waist support adjustment, unlocking the most suitable travel posture for yourself at any time. In terms of somatosensory, there are heat pump air conditioners, dual-zone automatic constant temperature air conditioners and seat ventilation /heating, etc., and under the blessing of AQS air quality system, PM2.5 sensor and N95 air filter, breathing is more smooth and free, with the intelligent fragrance system, it is a word "absolute".
At the audio-visual level, there is also a 1.3㎡ oversized immersive canopy and Beats sound system. In addition, mobile phone wireless charging, kick-type electric tailgate, 3.3kW reverse charging and other functions are very practical functions for young people.
The new smart genie #1 is also designed with a bit of style, a bit of a Mercedes-Benz EQ series feel.
First of all, the center console uses a large area of metallic paint to make the interior look like a certain texture, and the three-panel flat-bottom steering wheel looks very easy to control. A 12.8-inch suspension shape large screen is the most eye-catching existence in the entire cockpit, and the built-in smart-inspired planet intelligent human-computer interaction system can customize the exclusive APP, which is very humane.
There is also a "hello, smart" intelligent virtual elf assistant, more convenient to use the car, Snapdragon 8155 intelligent cockpit chip can ensure that users get a smooth interactive experience. Functions such as mobile APP remote control, Bluetooth key, vehicle OTA remote upgrade and other functions are not absent.
The 9.2-inch LCD instrument and 10-inch HUD head-up display are displayed under the background of the multi-colored atmosphere lights in the car, which looks full of technology.
In terms of driver assistance, the Pro+ version is equipped with 14 high-precision perception hardware, and the Premium version is equipped with 23 high-precision perception hardware, including 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter wave radars, 4 surround view cameras and a forward-looking camera, 1 cockpit camera, which can bring L2+ level intelligent driving assistance functions.
For example, ACC adaptive cruise, LDW lane departure warning, LKA lane keeping assist, etc., premium version also has ELKA Plus lane emergency holding assistance, ALCA automatic lane change assist, FCTA front crossing emergency alarm and other functions.
Passive safety do not have to worry, the new smart genie #1 adopts a cage safety body, the proportion of body high-strength steel is 74%, the proportion of thermoformed steel is 19%, beyond the industry's conventional level, its battery has also undergone more than 30 safety tests, and equipped with a battery intelligent temperature control management system, so that the battery is in the best working temperature environment.
In terms of power, as a product based on the Geely Haohan SEA architecture, smart genie #1 will be equipped with a rear-drive motor with a maximum power of 200kW and a peak torque of 343N·m, and the speed will only take 6.7S from zero to 100, and the performance is still relatively strong.
In terms of battery life, the new smart genie #1 is equipped with a 66kW/h ternary lithium battery, the Pro+ version of CLTC has a battery life of 535km, the Premium version of CLTC has a battery life of 560km, and it also supports 150kW DC overcharge, which can increase the battery power from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes.
It is reported that the new car is expected to start the official delivery in the fourth quarter of this year. In fact, smart this brand is more special positioning in China's new energy market, at this stage it does not have too direct competitors, after all, in our impression it is "car representative brand", but the current domestic car is basically concentrated in the low-end market, this kind of back to Mercedes-Benz, take the high-end route is relatively rare, but the MINI brand may also release a pure electric SUV during the year, when smart will officially usher in the real opponent.
At the same time, the new smart genie #1 is obviously adjusted according to consumer preferences, the spatial expression has been qualitatively improved, and the intelligence and power performance are also good, such a smart product with a new look may have set the tone for the future development direction of the brand.
