A few days ago, the highly anticipated official picture of the Jietu Shanhai T1 has been officially announced, and the popularity of this new car can be said to be quite high.
This little guy is positioned as a compact SUV with a super unique "square box" styling design, and it is said that it will be officially launched in the fourth quarter of this year. Let's come together in advance to "taste a product" and what is the charm of it.
Let's talk about the appearance first. The design of this Jietu Shanhai T1 and Jietu Shanhai T2 is very similar, both of which are hard-core off-road shapes in the style of "square box".
This line is very angular, although it may not have any advantage in wind resistance, but it can't stand the consumer likes it! Just like some people like round and cute shapes, some people prefer this hard-core style.
The front face is equipped with four-point daytime running lights and segmented through-light clusters, which are instantly recognizable! Walking on the road, it is instantly recognizable.
Imagine driving this car out at night, and the four-point lights are on, how cool it is! Hachi just wants to ask everyone, do you prefer a rounded shape, or this kind of hard-core "square box"?
Let's look at the rear of the car. The taillights are also a four-point design, echoing the front of the car, and the brand's personality is immediately highlighted. I feel that the designers of Jietu are quite attentive in this regard, and the unified design style before and after makes the whole vehicle look more coordinated.
Let's talk about the size. The length, width and height of this car are 4706mm/1967mm/1845mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2810mm. That's a lot of size for a compact SUV, right?
And it's also trailer-qualified, which is perfect for those who love outdoor life. Imagine driving this car, and then towing a small RV or small trailer behind, going camping, fishing, etc., how comfortable it is!
Finally, let's talk about the motivation part. The Shanhai T1 uses a plug-in hybrid system. Here Xiaohachi will explain to you what a plug-in hybrid system is.
To put it simply, it can be driven by both electric and fuel drives, so that you can enjoy the quiet and environmental protection of electric vehicles without worrying about battery life.
It is powered by Chery's 1.5-liter engine with a maximum output of 115 kW. This power is decent in the same class of models. Coupled with the 26.7kWh lithium iron phosphate battery provided by China Innovation Airlines, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has a pure electric range of 117km.
This cruising range is quite enough for daily commuting and commuting, if there are charging conditions. But if you want to travel long distances, you have to rely on fuel engines.
So what are the advantages and disadvantages of this shortcut Shanhai T1? The advantages, first of all, are the appearance of hard, very individual, and the return rate must be high. Secondly, the plug-in hybrid system is more practical, which can meet environmental requirements without worrying about range anxiety. In addition, it is large in size, spacious in space, and has the qualification to trailer, which is suitable for outdoor enthusiasts.
The disadvantage is that the "square box" shape may have a relatively large wind resistance, which will affect a certain amount of fuel consumption and battery life. Moreover, the plug-in hybrid system may be relatively more complex than the structure of pure fuel vehicles or pure electric vehicles, and the maintenance cost may be higher.
In general, the Jietu Shanhai T1 is still a very interesting car. Hachi is looking forward to its performance after it goes public. I don't know what you guys think?
