In recent years, the domestic new energy vehicle market has continued to be hot, with 3.31 million new energy passenger car sales in China in 2021, with a market penetration rate of 14.8%, an increase of 9 percentage points compared with 5.8% in 2020. However, from the sales structure, we will find that although the sales volume of the new energy vehicle market is considerable, it has not yet broken the dumbbell structure of the two hot sales, and the most competitive 150,000-250,000 level market segments still lack hot products.
However, this year, the 200,000-yuan pure electric vehicle segment will usher in several blockbuster models, including BYD Seals, Changan Deep Blue C385, Zero Run C01, and Nezha S. Different from the previous 200,000 yuan level of pure electric vehicle products, these models can be said to have completely got rid of the strong attributes of fuel vehicles, ushered in an important breakthrough in platformization, intelligence and other aspects, and the overall product competitiveness is quite interesting.
BYD seals
After the dolphin, BYD's marine animal series is about to usher in the second model - seal, the new car is based on BYD e platform 3.0, is expected to be officially released in May this year.
The bionic design derived from the ocean-X concept car makes the bydder seal feel the power of the SEAL emerge, and the overall shape resembles the Porsche Taycan pure electric coupe. The interior is also full of marine inspiration elements, and the central shelf area also reflects the curvy beauty with a "small waist" shape.
In terms of power, SEAL has declared three different power configurations, including a 150kW rear-drive version of the low-power version, a 230kW rear-drive high-power version, and a four-wheel drive version of the front 160kW/rear 230kW, of which the four-wheel drive version can achieve 3.8 seconds to break the hundred. There will be three types of battery life versions of 550km, 650km and 700km for battery life.
It is worth mentioning that the wheelbase of the seal is 2920mm, which is consistent with the Han EV, but the overall body size is smaller than a lap. The length of the car is only 4 meters 8, the height has also dropped by 3.5 centimeters, and the overall posture is more low and sports. The shorter front and rear overhangs, combined with the double wishbone front suspension, further enhance the handling and premium feel of the vehicle.
Changan Navy C385
Just recently, Changan officially renamed its new energy brand "Deep Blue" and launched the all-electric digital platform EPA1. The Deep Blue C385 is the first model under the platform.
The exterior styling of the new car continues the design elements of Changan Tomorrow Technology, with split headlights, slip-back shapes, and through-type taillights full of technology, and will also be equipped with frameless doors, and the overall look is full of elements of future technology. As for the interior, the use of the current popular minimalist design, large screen plus hidden air outlet looks clean and clean, and there is not much difference with the main intelligent electric vehicles on the market.
However, compared with the design of the exterior interior, the biggest highlight of Changan Deep Blue C385 is that it not only provides a pure electric version and a range extended version, but also launches a hydrogen fuel cell version, which is also the biggest feature of the EPA1 platform.
Among them, the C385 pure electric version of CLTC has an endurance of more than 700 kilometers, and a single motor version can achieve 5.9 seconds to break 100; while the extended range version can reach more than 1200 kilometers in full state, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers of power loss is only 4.5L; the hydrogen fuel cell version has an endurance of more than 700 kilometers, and the level of power loss hydrogen consumption is comparable to that of Toyota Mirai.
Zero run C01
As the fourth model launched by Zero Run, Zero Run C01 is a new flagship sedan based on the Zero Run C architecture. It is worth mentioning that the new car is also the first model of zero-run CTC battery chassis integration technology.
First of all, let's talk about zero-run intelligent power CTC technology, which is a new battery layout design scheme, which integrates the battery, chassis and car body, which is equivalent to using the body structure as the external structure of the battery pack, and canceling part of the structural design of the battery pack. This results in increased space, endurance, performance and safety.
Based on this, the Zero-Run C01 is equipped with a battery pack with a maximum capacity of 90 kW·h and a maximum cruising range of up to 700 km. The official two-motor four-wheel drive version of the zero-run C01 has a zero-hundred acceleration time of only 3 seconds.
In addition, the zero-run C01 is positioned as a medium-sized and large sedan with a body length of 5 meters, and combined with CTC technology, its interior space is expected to reach a rather exaggerated level.
Nezha S
Nezha S and zero-run C01 positioning is very close, are flagship pure electric cars, the shape is also quite aggressive, and it is worth mentioning that compared to the above models, the main highlight of Nezha S is high-end intelligent driving, which can be seen from the small bulge above the front windshield.
The new car will be applied to Huawei's MDC computing platform, which can achieve 200T high computing power. At the same time, in terms of perception units, it is equipped with 3 lidars, 5 millimeter wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 13 cameras, high-precision positioning units, and high-precision maps. It has the ability to achieve pilot assisted driving on high-speed and urban roads, as well as L4 level intelligent driving in some scenarios such as parking and remote summoning.
As for the power performance, Nezha S is expected to provide pure electric and extended range versions of the model optional, of which the pure electric model has a range of 710 kilometers, and the extended range version of the model can reach 1100 kilometers. Rear-drive and all-wheel drive models will also be available, with an all-wheel drive performance version of 100 km/h acceleration of just 3.9 seconds.
The above four new cars are basically based on the sports performance coupe as the main positioning, whether in the design, technology, or hardware, etc., are very competitive, especially compared with the Tesla Model 3, these four cars in the performance, endurance, intelligence and other hard indicators are not inferior. With the listing of these four new pure electric cars, it is believed that it is expected to break the current dumbbell-shaped sales structure of the new energy market and further enhance market penetration.
