Two days ago, we took stock of several micro/small pure electric new cars that have been listed since 2022. On the one hand, these cars are likely to become passive choices among people in the "price increase tide", and on the other hand, because there are indeed many new products of two types during this period, we need to help you sort out their respective characteristics.
By the end of March and the beginning of April, with the delivery of Weilai ET7, the official listing of Zhiji L7 and the brand-new BYD Han series, medium and large pure electric cars have become a new focus in the market. I think apart from the exposure brought by the centralized listing of new cars, the Chinese people’s own preference for cars also determines that medium and large cars will be a brand, especially the flagship and benchmark of China brands, so extra attention will be paid.
Next, through this article, we will take stock of the large and medium-sized pure electric vehicles that are recently listed/delivered, already listed and planned to be listed in the future.
■ New delivery/listing group
Weilai ET7, starting price: 448-526,000 yuan.
Weilai ET7 made its debut at NIO Day in 2020. As Weilai’s first car product, this car has high hopes from enterprises, hoping that it can become a new growth point of performance, while Weilai’s users and fans are full of expectations for it, hoping that it can be a high-quality pure electric flagship car.
In terms of appearance design, Weilai ET7 not only adopts X-bar family design language, but also uses many settings that are more in line with cars. For example, the streamlined body makes Weilai ET7′ s drag coefficient only 0.208; A lower posture with a hatchback design can make it sharper and more sporty. Therefore, I always think that Weilai’s family-style design language is more effective in cars than in SUVs, and it is the same for ET7 and ET5.
Of course, Weilai ET7 also shows us the most recognizable features of the NT2.0 platform model, that is, the three "watchtowers" on the roof, which are equipped with ultra-long-range high-precision lidar and high-definition camera. The advantage of placing the sensor here is that it can monitor the situation around the vehicle more accurately from the driver’s perspective, and it can also make the monitoring range wider from a commanding position.
In the interior, the interior of Weilai ET7 looks very simple. From the front center console to the door, it is equipped with three layers of "sandwich" decorative boards, of which the top layer is made of Microfiber microfiber, the middle is karuun® renewable rattan wood, and the bottom layer is Nappa leather. Listening to the friends who have tested the Weilai ET7, they said that the three decorative boards are delicate and soft in touch, and they look fresh and elegant, and there is no smell.
Of course, Weilai’s classic borderless instrument panel, vertical central control panel and round NOMI will not be absent. As for the seat part, the small partner said that compared with SUV models such as ES8 and ES6, the front and rear seats of ET7 are more comfortable, especially the rear seats, which are friendly in both posture and cushion hardness.
In the configuration part, Weilai ET7 comes standard with 360 HD panoramic images, front and rear parking assistance radar, transparent chassis, dynamic wheel torque control system, curve assistance system and other functions in terms of safety.
In terms of comfort and convenience, ET7 is equipped with panoramic sunroof, intelligent frameless electric suction door, electric tailgate with induction opening function, double-layer silent glass in front and rear windows, steering wheel heating, 1 7.5W USB Type A interface, 3 60W USB Type C interfaces, heat pump air conditioning system, 14-way electric adjustment of front seats, heating/ventilation/massage function of two rows of seats, memory and easy access function of front seats, enhanced head-up display system, and central wireless charging.
In terms of intelligence, Weilai ET7 has two very interesting functions besides the relatively basic functions such as remote interconnection control, intelligent car search assistant, and NOMI vehicle-mounted artificial intelligence system. First of all, this car has an AR/VR panoramic immersion experience interface. On NIO Day in 2021, Li Bin announced that Weilai has jointly developed AR/VR glasses with its partners. In the future, passengers can enjoy the audio-visual entertainment function by wearing glasses in the car, and the effect is even better than a single passenger display screen.
In addition, thanks to the blessing of 33 high-performance sensing hardware and Weilai supercomputing platform, ET7 has a higher-level intelligent driving assistance capability, which makes it easy, safe and efficient for us to drive long-distance or park. However, it should be noted that the NAD automatic driving assistance system equipped with Weilai ET7 requires a monthly subscription to unlock the full function.
Finally, talking about power, Weilai ET7 is equipped with a dual-motor intelligent four-wheel drive system, with a comprehensive maximum output power of 480kW, a comprehensive peak torque of 850Nm, and an acceleration time of only 3.8s seconds per 100 kilometers. In the battery part, Weilai ET7 can adapt to three specifications. Under CLTC comprehensive working conditions, the cruising range of 75kWh battery pack can reach 480 to 550km；. 100kWh battery pack can reach 615 to 705km；; The battery pack of 150kWh can reach 1000km. At present, the battery pack delivered by Weilai ET7 can be assembled with the first two specifications, and the battery pack of 150kWh will be applied to ET7 in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Summary:On the whole, the face value of Weilai ET7 is not bad, the interior materials are sufficient, the intelligent and comfortable configuration is also rich, and the dynamic performance is fierce. I believe that if you have the opportunity to test drive, you will find it very good. However, its starting price of 448,000 yuan is not low compared with that of most competitors of the same level, but fortunately, Weilai has a car purchase plan of renting batteries separately, which can at least make 70,000 yuan into a long-term flow, and the mature system of replacing electricity and replenishing energy is also more efficient.
Zhiji L7 Pro, starting price: 408,800 yuan.
On March 29th, Zhiji Automobile announced that the official name of the first edition of Zhiji L7 mass production was Zhiji L7 Pro, and the price was 408,800 yuan. At the same time, the official also locked orders for the A-round orders and the Angel-round orders, and announced the complete rights and interests of these two orders. At this point, this large and medium-sized pure electric car, which began to accept reservations nearly a year ago, is finally officially listed.
What impressed me most about this car was the design of its front face, especially the two symmetrical "Sigma" daytime running lights with unique styles, which were very recognizable after lighting. In addition, the black area near the headlights is equipped with 2.6 million pixels of DLP light projection headlights, which can project rich images on the ground in front, while the taillights are composed of ISC streamer overlapping interactive lights with 5000 LED light sources. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhiji L7 is a "light player".
On the side of the car body, Zhiji L7 has a three-dimensional waistline extending from below the A-pillar to the taillights, but otherwise the overall shape is relatively round and smooth. In addition, although the tail of Zhiji L7 has some slight slip-back design, the rear suspension is relatively long and the slope of the roof is not obvious, so it looks like a more orthodox car.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of Zhiji L7 are 5098/1960/1485mm and the wheelbase is 3100 mm. Although it is slightly smaller than Weilai ET7, the wheelbase is 40mm more.
In the interior design, although Zhiji L7 doesn’t use complicated graphics like appearance, this super-long triple screen and the touch screen below not only have a full sense of science and technology, but also make the sense of ceremony burst. With their foil, even this flat-bottomed double-frame steering wheel is less dynamic and more sci-fi.
In addition, Zhiji L7 is also sincere in the materials used for work. For example, the decorative board is made of Como Lake solid wood certified by FSC, the seat is covered with semi-aniline leather from Bavaria, and the screen is made of AMOLED material. The resolution is as high as 2K, the PPI is 220, the number of speakers is 22, the power amplifier is 1120W, and the whole car is equipped with double-layer sound insulation glass.
In terms of configuration, in addition to the various "sound and light" and in-car configurations we just introduced, Zhiji L7 is also equipped with Carlog intelligent car camera system, which supports 180 ultra-wide angle 4K HD shooting; IM OS intelligent interactive system is built in the central control and passenger display screen; In terms of driving assistance, Zhiji L7 is equipped with IM AD intelligent driving system. Thanks to the support of as many as 30 high-performance hardware and high-computing chips, the vehicle has high-level assistance capabilities such as city navigation, high-speed navigation, vehicle call and parking service.
In the power part, Zhiji L7 adopts a dual-motor four-wheel drive power system, with a comprehensive maximum power of 425kW, a maximum peak torque of 725Nm, and an acceleration time of 3.87s per 100 kilometers. At the same time, it is matched with a 93kWh battery pack, and the maximum cruising range under CLTC conditions is 615km. At the same time, in terms of chassis, Zhiji L7 has been professionally adjusted by WAE Williams team, and the rear wheel has the ability of active steering, so that this large and medium-sized pure electric car can also have rich control fun.
Summary:Different from other new brands, Zhiji Automobile is unique in user rights and adopts the concept of similar investment and entrepreneurship. Therefore, Zhiji L7 has angel wheel rights in the pre-sale stage, and after the Pro version is launched, it will have A wheel rights. Although this setting is very interesting, it is easy to attract more people to pay attention to this car, but in the actual car selection process, we found it difficult to find other configurations beyond these rights, such as more supporting functions of seats, voice interaction ability, car applications, air conditioning system, etc. I hope that when the regular version of Zhiji L7 goes on the market on April 17th, a relatively complete configuration list can be published on online platforms such as official website.
Brand-new BYD Han EV series, starting price: 26.98-32.98 million yuan.
On April 11th, the brand-new BYD Han EV Creation Edition and Qian Shan Cui Limited Edition were officially launched, and the subsidized price range was 269,800 to 329,800 yuan. Compared with the previous generation of Han EV, the obvious change of the new car is the improvement of power output parameters and endurance, and there are also some changes in exterior interior design, body size and configuration.
In the power part, the new Han EV Genesis Edition strengthens the output performance of the front motor, with the maximum power of 180kW and the peak torque of 350Nm. Therefore, both the single-motor version and the dual-motor version could have been more powerful in performance, but interestingly, we found that the 100-kilometer acceleration time of the new Han EV Genesis Edition is exactly the same as that of the previous generation Han EV.
So where did this "energy" go? Perhaps it is used to improve the endurance, because the new Han EV can achieve the endurance (CLTC) of 610km to 715km only with the blade battery of 85.4kWh, even at the lowest level, it runs farther than the super-long endurance version of the previous generation Han EV, and the same type of products in the market often need to be equipped with 90 to 100kWh batteries to reach a similar level.
In addition, in terms of size, the new BYD Han EV is 15mm longer than the previous version, while the width, height and wheelbase remain the same. So although the new Han EV has become bigger, it is not obvious from the car body. However, on the other hand, the captain of 4995mm allows the brand-new Han EV to enter the market track with a captain of 5 meters, which narrows the gap with many flagship cars of new forces and enhances the competitiveness of the brand-new Han EV in the same market.
In the intelligent part, the new Han EV is mainly upgraded on DiPilot intelligent driver assistance system. The new car will be equipped with 22 sensing components, and at the same time, it will add functions such as highway driving assistance and emergency avoidance assistance, which can better provide accurate and efficient help for drivers.
In terms of intelligent cockpit, the new Han EV will come standard with DiLink 4.0 intelligent network connection system, as well as high-end configurations and functions such as 5G quick connection, dual-frequency positioning, four-tone voice interaction, HiFi-level customized Tanner audio, W-HUD head-up display, DMS fatigue driving warning system, etc., and at the same time support remote upgrade of OTA of the whole vehicle.
In the exterior part, my favorite design of the new Han EV is the tail, which is not only an elegant slip-back line, but also a set of taillights like Chinese knots. It is reported that it has a dynamic lighting effect, and the "Chinese knot" will have a shuttle texture when the vehicle starts, which is both sci-fi and full of ritual.
In the new Han EV series, there is also a limited edition of Qian Shan Cui, which not only has an exclusive green color scheme, but also has exclusive configurations and interior and exterior decoration kits such as high-grade suede seats, sports interior kits, UWB digital keys and high-performance stone green four-piston pliers. In terms of power, the power system of this model is the same as the "610KM four-wheel drive exclusive type" of the conventional Genesis version.
Summary:I understand that the newly listed Genesis Edition and Qian Shan Cui Limited Edition of Han EV are not the updated models of Han EV, but more like the advanced and customized versions of Han EV. In addition, in terms of price, although the overall price of the new car is more expensive than the conventional Han EV, it still has some advantages compared with competitors of the same level, so if you only want to spend less than 270,000 yuan to buy a medium-sized and large-sized pure electric car, the creation version of Han EV is worth considering.

Krypton ZEEKR 001, starting price: 299,000-368,000 yuan.
ZEEKR 001, as the first model of Krypton, has three versions, and the price range is 299,000 yuan to 368,000 yuan. In terms of design, as a hunting car, ZEEKR 001 is difficult to tell whether it is a car or an SUV, because it has obvious cross-border elements, such as a slender front and a thick hatchback. We can only know that it is a medium-sized and large-sized pure electric car through the official definition of "luxury hunting coupe". However, it is because of this appearance that it becomes the most "fierce" one in its class.
In terms of dimensions, the WE version of this model has a length, width and height of 4970/1999/1560mm and a wheelbase of 3005 mm.. In addition, the length, width and wheelbase of the YOU version are the same as those of the WE version, but the height of the body will be lower, and the parameter is 1548 mm.
In terms of power, ZEEKR 001 has two kinds of power options: double motor and single motor, in which the combined maximum power of double motor is 400kW, the peak torque is 768Nm, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 3.8 s; The single motor version has a maximum output power of 200kW, a peak torque of 384Nm and an acceleration time of 6.9s per 100 km. In terms of battery configuration, ZEEKR 001 has 100kWh and 86kWh battery packs to choose from, in which the cruising range of the single-motor version of NEDC can reach 712km, and the cruising range of the dual-motor version is 526km and 606km respectively.
The new car is equipped with ZEEKR AD intelligent driving assistance system, two high-performance 7nm intelligent driving chips, including seven 8-megapixel long-distance high-definition cameras, a 250m-m super-long sensing millimeter-wave radar, 12 short-range ultrasonic radars, four short-range high-definition cameras, two in-vehicle monitoring cameras, one outside-vehicle monitoring camera and one rear streaming media camera, which can better assist drivers to cope with various complicated road sections.
On March 23rd, Krypton officially pushed the official version of ZEEKR OS 2.0 to all users. The new version upgrade involves 33 ECU units, adding 5 functions, and upgrading and optimizing 59 functions according to the user feedback of Zeekr OS version 1.1.1.
The biggest highlight of this update is the first batch of open ZAD Krypton intelligent driving assistance system functions, including ACCQA adaptive cruise with queuing function, AEB forward collision mitigation, LDW lane departure warning, and FCTA front intersection warning function, which brings new intelligent security for users’ high-frequency application scenarios in daily driving.
In terms of configuration, ZEEKR 001 is equipped with frameless doors, electric tailgate with high memory, front seat heating, Microfiber microfiber ceiling, one-button reclining of rear seat, 360 HD panoramic image, transparent chassis, 14.7-inch WHUD head-up display system, AI Mate intelligent assistant, wireless charging of 15W mobile phone, face ID recognition, external discharge and other functions. The top is also equipped with high-performance air suspension set, intelligent induction automatic door, privacy glass, intelligent seat massage, YAMAHA surround sound advanced audio, intelligent constant temperature air conditioning and other functions as standard.
Summary:At the beginning, when Weilai ET7, Zhiji L7 and brand-new Han EV were not "born", the fastest medium and large car on the surface was ZEEKR 001 except Tesla’s Model S. When it comes to face value, ZEEKR 001 is highly recognizable by its maverick design. In addition, in terms of intelligence and configuration functions, ZEEKR 001 is full of sincerity, and even the top price of 368,000 yuan is actually quite high.
Extreme Fox Alpha S, starting price: 25.19-344,900 yuan.
Alfa S is a pure electric medium-sized and large-sized car officially launched by Extreme Fox in April 2021. At present, there are four versions officially listed, and the price range is 251,900 to 344,900 yuan. In addition, there is an Alfa S HI version, and the pre-sale prices of the two configurations are 388,900 yuan and 429,900 yuan respectively. The Alfa S is not only the second model of Extreme Fox, but also the first car product.
In terms of appearance, in fact, compared with the earlier SUV model Alfa T, the design of this Alfa S will give me a more traditional feeling, and it will not be too sharp in many details, whether it is the headlight with a drop-shaped front face, or the opening below, or the tail with a small slip back and the arc-shaped through taillights, there is a low-key and calm texture.
In terms of size, the body length, width and height of the polar fox Alpha S are 4930/1940/1599mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2915mm；; The Alfa S HI version has a length, width and height of 4980/1960/1599mm, and the wheelbase is also 2915 mm. Judging from this wheelbase parameter and the relatively short front and rear suspension, the interior space performance of Alfa S is still good, which is definitely enough.
In terms of configuration, let’s first look at the regular version of Alpha S, which comes standard with α-Pilot assisted driving system, including ACC adaptive cruise, TJA traffic congestion assistance, ICA integrated cruise, CBC intelligent corner cruise, ASL intelligent speed limit cruise, RDP lane departure correction, LDW lane departure warning, remote driving and other functions. In addition, it also has a 20.3-inch 4K touch widescreen, wireless charging of 15W mobile phone with forgetting reminder, voiceprint recognition, α intelligent voice assistant with sound source localization and continuous dialogue, active air intake grille, electric tailgate, front seat heating and electric adjustment, and a wealth of in-vehicle applications.
On the HI version of Alpha S, we can see that the whole system is equipped with a very powerful intelligent driver assistance system. Not only is the chip computing power up to 400TOPS, but it is also equipped with 3 laser radars, 6 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 9 ADS cameras and 4 panoramic cameras. Therefore, this model can realize the functions of intelligent driving assistance on expressways, intelligent driving assistance on urban roads, AVP parking service and vehicle summoning.
In addition, the HI version of Alpha S is also equipped with intelligent auxiliary functions such as 21.7-inch 4K ultra-clear central control panel, 8-inch HUD head-up display, human-computer interaction system capable of continuous dialogue, smart home control, smart gesture recognition, and intelligent driver behavior detection.
In the power part, the maximum output power of the conventional Alpha S single-motor precursor power system is 160kW and the peak torque is 360Nm；. The maximum output power of the dual-motor four-wheel drive power system is 320kW and the peak torque is 720Nm. The batteries matched with all models have two specifications, 67.3kWh and 93.6kWh, and the cruising range of different versions of NEDC under comprehensive working conditions is 525km, 708km and 603km respectively.
The Alfa S HI version is a four-wheel drive power system, with a comprehensive maximum output power of 473kW, a comprehensive peak torque of 655Nm and an acceleration time of 3.5s seconds per 100 kilometers. However, at present, the official has not announced the battery capacity and cruising range of this model, only that it is equipped with 750V fast charging technology, and it can get a maximum battery life of 197km after charging for 10 minutes.
Summary:Perhaps from the appearance and shape, the Alfa S series is a relatively "compact" model in the medium and large-sized pure electric car market, but after all, it has a length of more than 4.9m and a wheelbase of more than 2.9 m, so it is completely enough in space. In addition, the configuration of Alpha S series is also very rich, especially the standard configuration of the whole system is very kind, and the starting price is low, which is a good choice for friends with limited budget.

Zero run C01
On February 25th this year, Zero Run Automobile released a lot of information and a set of official renderings of its brand-new pure electric car Zero Run C01 for the first time. It is reported that the new car will be the first C-platform electric medium-sized and large-sized car with zero running, and the body length can reach 5 meters. At the same time, it is also the first mass production model equipped with CTC battery technology, with 3s-class 100-kilometer acceleration performance and 700km endurance. According to the official, the zero run C01 plan will be released in the second quarter of this year.
In terms of design, we can find many zero-run family-style design languages from the official map of the new car, such as the penetrating light strip on the front face, polygonal headlights and body lines. According to the official introduction, the zero-run C01 takes the natural aesthetics of science and technology as its design concept, and does subtraction in modeling and addition in experience. Taking "purity, intellectual interest and nature" as the key words, it abandons redundant modeling features and reduces the visual load, which is simply translated as "simplicity but not simplicity".
In terms of technology, the zero-run car summarizes four key information points of "1, 3, 5 and 7" for this new car.
"1" stands for zero-run C01, which is the first mass-produced vehicle with CTC technology. The so-called "CTC" is called "Cell To Chassis", which refers to the technology of integrated design of battery module and lower body. The biggest advantage of this technology is that the impact resistance of the battery and the torsional stiffness of the car body are greatly improved, and at the same time, the safety of the power battery and the whole car body is effectively guaranteed. At the same time, this technology can also help the zero-run C01 to have more spacious driving space, and at the same time make it have stronger handling and cruising range.
"3" means that the 0-100km/h acceleration time of the zero-run C01 can enter the 3-second class, which is the fastest acceleration of the domestic electric car of the same class. According to the official introduction, the zero-run C01 is equipped with a smarter power system and adopts a variable-structure oil-cooled electric drive, which not only has top-level quiet performance and driving efficiency, but also has a design life of more than 1 million kilometers. In addition, the reason why the new car can have such a "fierce" acceleration performance is because its body has a drag coefficient of 0.226Cd and the whole vehicle achieves 5% lightweight weight reduction.
"5" means that the body length of the zero-run C01 will reach 5 meters, so as to match the identity of the brand flagship car. In fact, the zero-run car has some experience in building a big car. The zero-run C11 has won the favor of the industry and consumers with its rare large wheelbase and large space at the same price. Therefore, we are not only full of imagination about the "figure" of the zero-run C01, but also full of expectations about its price range.
The last "7" means that the cruising range can reach 700km under the comprehensive working condition of zero run C01. It can have such "vitality", first of all, because it is equipped with a 90kWh ultra-large capacity power battery, and the battery adopts a penetrating large module scheme, which effectively improves the space utilization rate and structural strength. In addition, Zero Run also installed a big data AI intelligent battery management system for the new car, which can predict the future state of the battery more scientifically and efficiently, effectively extend the service life of the battery and improve the safety performance.
Summary:If the zero-run C01 is really as mass-produced as the information exposed at present, and the pricing strategy of the zero-run C11 "price butcher" can be continued, it will definitely be good news for consumers, because we have another "good quality and low price" medium and large-sized pure electric car to choose from, so friends who plan to buy the medium and large-sized pure electric car in the second half of this year or for a long time, I suggest "squatting" the zero-run C01. For other brands in the same class, the zero-run C01 is an opponent that absolutely needs to be vigilant, especially the models priced at around 250,000 to 300,000, which may suffer a direct impact.
Mercedes EQE
In the "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in February, we saw the new car application information of the domestic Mercedes-Benz EQE. It is reported that this model was introduced to China by Beijing Benz Automobile Co., Ltd.
Judging from the new car declaration map, the appearance of the domestic version of EQE basically continues the design of the overseas version. The family-style language makes it like a miniature version of EQS, with a dot-matrix closed plaque on the front face, headlights with rising corners of the eyes, and "X" shape. Surrounded by the front, it creates a gas field that is not angry and arrogant.
Looking at the side again, although Mercedes-Benz EQE adopts the same arch body design as the big brother EQS, the lines are not so extreme, and the sliding back and the downward direction of the window are softer. In addition, the new car adopts hidden B and C columns, chrome-plated frames are assembled around the windows, and the wheels also adopt five sets of double-banner lattice closed rims, which looks very advanced as a whole.
However, from the back, Mercedes-Benz EQE presents a more sporty style, especially the high-position brake lights, small tail wings and the rear surrounding shapes are very dynamic. In addition, the new car, like EQS, is equipped with arc-shaped through taillights, and the brake light source is expected to be similar to spiral ribbons.
In terms of parameters, the application information shows that the length, width and height of the domestic version of Mercedes-Benz EQE are 4969/1906/1509mm and the wheelbase is 3120mm respectively. The tires have three specifications: 235/50 R19, 255/45 R19 and 255/40 R20. The power system is equipped with a drive motor with rated power of 100kW and peak power of 215kW, and the maximum speed is 180 km/h.
In addition, according to the declared information of optional accessories, the front and rear bumpers, front grille, exterior rearview mirrors, rims, side skirts, headlights, tail signs and door frame decorative strips of domestic Mercedes-Benz EQE will have different changes.
Summary:Did you find out that Mercedes-Benz EQE is the only medium-sized and large-sized pure electric car with a traditional luxury brand among the models we counted this time, and it will take the lead in entering this market segment as the "vanguard" of BBA. However, with these large and medium-sized pure electric cars of China brand in the front, it’s hard to say whether people will have an "impulse" on Mercedes-Benz EQE. It must come up with something different to prove that it is worth having.
Mechanosaurus, the limited edition price is 488,000 yuan.
If ZEEKR 001 is a hunting coupe more like a beast, then the Mechelosaurus from Salon Automobile is a high-performance coupe with the style of hard-core mecha.
In terms of appearance, the Mechelon is a quite large four-door GT model from the side. It is reported that the length of this car will reach at least 5 square meters, even the size of a large car. In addition, the window with hidden B/C pillar and through waistline make the car look slimmer visually. At the same time, all kinds of broken lines and protruding wheel eyebrows on the car body make this car full of muscle.
Of course, if we only look at the front face, the mecha dragon is more like a violent modified performance car, especially the angular headlights and the simple folding design of the body, as well as the very three-dimensional front surround, which brings us a stronger impact.
In the interior design, the front row of the mecha dragon, especially the main driving area, has a strong fighter style, and even the inner side of the steering wheel rim has a three-dimensional polygonal design, which can be said to be very rough. However, coarseness does not mean coarseness. Judging from the current official renderings, the interior layout of the Mechanosaurus is very regular, the components are carefully assembled, and the materials used should not be bad.
Oh, by the way, there is also an official name for the cockpit of the Mechanon, which is called "Source Code" Mecha Intelligent Control Cabin. This is because it is equipped with Qualcomm 8155 high-performance chip with 8 cores and 7 nanometers process, and has DMS+OMS dual in-car cameras, 4 independent sound zones and 5 interactive display screens, namely, 10.25-inch intelligent interactive screen, 27-inch 4K W-HUD integrated screen and 25-inch W-.
In addition, there are many luxurious configurations of this car, such as Harman Kardon’s 16-speaker 5.1-channel audio system, Nappa leather seat capable of 16-way electric adjustment and 8-point physical therapy pneumatic massage, and five-level noise control quiet system.
In the power part, the Mechanon adopts a front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive system, with a comprehensive maximum output of 400kW and a peak torque of 750N·m, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 3.7 seconds. In addition, the Mechanon will become the first vehicle equipped with the Great Wall Dayu battery, and its capacity will reach 115kWh, and the CLTC will last 802km. Under the overcharge of 800V/480kW, it will be recharged for 401km in 10 minutes.
In terms of driving assistance, the Mechelosaurus is equipped with a captain’s intelligent driving system called "Captain-Pilot", which has intelligent driving assistance on high-speed and urban roads, and can also park automatically and remotely. There are as many as 38 intelligent sensing components serving this system, including 4 laser radars, 7 8-megapixel cameras, 4 panoramic cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars, etc. At the same time, it adopts a dual DMC intelligent driving computing platform, with NPU computing power reaching 400 TOPS and CPU computing power reaching 400K DMIPS, which not only has dual redundancy, but also has independent MCU security monitoring.
Summary:When Mechelon was unveiled at Guangzhou Auto Show last year, it announced that the price of 101 limited-edition cars was 488,000 yuan. To be honest, this price is above average in the current large-scale pure electric cars, which is a little expensive, but it is not artificially high in combination with the current exposure configuration. In addition, this price is only a limited edition, and it may be slightly cheaper after mass production. On the other hand, the overall quality of Mechanosaurus is good, but its appearance is really radical, which may become the winner of the new car market performance.

I don’t know if you will feel this way. In recent years, it seems that the China market is already dominated by SUVs, whether from the investment in R&D of enterprises or the quantity and speed of new cars on the market. Even when domestic SUV models were just emerging, it was predicted inside and outside the industry that SUVs would soon replace cars and become the "cake" with the largest market share.
However, until now, there are still no "dry-turned" cars in SUVs. In the 2021 retail sales released by the Association, the annual sales volume of cars was 9.846 million, up 6.4% year-on-year, while the annual sales volume of SUVs was 9.221 million, up 3.0% year-on-year. In other words, not only did cars still have more shares than SUVs last year, but even their growth status was better than the latter.
Therefore, although SUV models are constantly "growing taller", the car market is still more "strong". In China’s new energy vehicle market, both cars and SUVs are "growing from scratch", but more consumers are still willing to buy new energy cars.
Therefore, for car companies, with the increasingly fierce competition, the new energy car market will inevitably be more subdivided, and there is still a lot of room in the medium and large car market, which is a "site" worth seizing. For consumers, the competition between brands means that we can have the opportunity to "buy a car up" with a lower budget, so if you have plans to buy a new energy vehicle of about 250,000 this year, you can pay attention to the medium and large pure electric car market. As for the current models, I recommend the brand-new BYD Han EV that has been listed, and those that have not been listed can focus on the zero-run C01.
