Today, let's talk about the upcoming Nezha S hunting loading vehicle. This is a new move of Nezha Automobile, it seems that it wants to fight another bloody road in the medium and large car market!
First of all, let's talk about what this "hunting car" is. To put it simply, the trunk of the sedan has been changed to a larger and more practical hatchback design. This design not only looks sportier, but more importantly has more trunk space and more loading capacity. It is a good choice for friends who like outdoor activities or often need to pull goods.
Judging from the exposed real car pictures, Nezha S hunting car is really handsome. In addition to the changes in the second half, red brake calipers have been added, which makes it look sporty. The official also deliberately showed the scene of adding a top box and carrying a bicycle, which is a hint that this car is very versatile.
Let's take a look at the dimensions. The length, width and height are 4980/1980/1480 mm, and the wheelbase is 2980 mm. Compared to the sedan version, it is 30 mm taller. Although this 30mm may not seem like much, it has improved the headroom and trunk volume of rear passengers, which is a real improvement.
The interior basically continues the style of Nezha S, with a large-size suspended central control screen, upper and lower flat-bottom steering wheel, and co-pilot screen, which are all configurations that young people like now. However, the hunting car has made some adjustments in details, such as the addition of carbon fiber trim parts in the center console area, and the use of suede material for the center armrest. These small changes make the interior look sportier and more classy.
The powertrain is interesting. Like the Nezha S, the hunting vehicle also offers two options: pure electric and extended range. The extended-range version is equipped with a 1.5-liter range extender with a maximum output of 70 kW and a motor with a maximum output of 200 kW. The battery capacity is 31.71 kWh and 43.88 kWh, and the all-electric range is 125 km, 130 km and 185 km respectively. This endurance is decent in a range-extender car, as long as it is enough.
The all-electric version is available in 2WD and 4WD. The two-wheel drive version has a maximum output of 200 kW, and the four-wheel drive version has a maximum power of 170 kW and 200 kW for the front and rear motors. The specific range has not yet been announced, but according to the level of the Nezha S pure electric version, it is estimated that it can reach at least 600km or more.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the current sales of Nezha S. In June, 584 units were sold, ranking 14th in the new energy medium and large vehicle market. There is indeed a gap compared with the Internet celebrity cars such as Extreme Krypton 001 and Xiaomi SU7, but the starting price is much higher than that of Nezha S. The starting price of Nezha S154,800 is still very competitive.
So, how should the price of this hunting vehicle be determined? Hachi thinks it must be more expensive than the sedan version, after all, the space is larger and the practicality is stronger. But it can't be too expensive, otherwise you will lose the price advantage. Personally, I predict that the starting price may be around 165,000 yuan, and the top-of-the-line version may be around 235,000 yuan. This price point not only maintains a comparative advantage, but also reflects the value of the hunting vehicle.
Overall, Nezha S hunting car is a very interesting product. It not only retains the advantages of Nezha S, but also improves its practicality. This can be a good option for those who feel that a sedan is not enough, but do not want to buy an SUV.
However, it's not enough to have a good product. If Nezha Automobile wants to rely on this car to increase sales, it has to work marketing and service. After all, the competition in the new energy vehicle market is fierce, and products alone are not enough.
Well, that's all for today's car review. Do you think Nezha S hunting will be successful? Welcome to discuss with Hachi in the comment area! By the way, if you think this price prediction is reasonable, you can also talk about it. Let's look forward to the official debut in August!
