Roewe Ei5 and other new energy vehicles in the first quarter of 2018
[News] With the development of the new energy market in recent years, the technology of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles has become more and more mature, and with the support and guidance of local policies for new energy, many consumers who did not intend to start new energy vehicles have changed their previous concepts and have the desire to buy new energy vehicles. This time, we took stock of the new energy vehicles that will be launched in the first quarter of 2018 for you, including, 530Le iPerformance,,, pure electric version, pure electric version and e-Golf.
● Ei5
New car features: electric cars have also played a travel model.
With the change of users’ demand, the market has attracted more and more people’s attention. In many people’s eyes, electric vehicles represent the trend of power system, and naturally they cannot fall behind the times in terms of car models and shapes. Therefore, Roewe will be popular in Europe and America for a long time, but the station wagon that is in the ascendant in China will be "pushed" to Ei5.
Roewe Ei5 inherits its family-style design in modeling, especially the inverted trapezoidal grille on the front face is consistent with Roewe ERX5. This large-size inverted trapezoidal grille has become the symbol of Roewe’s new energy. Below the Roewe LOGO on the front face is the DC fast charging port, and the AC slow charging port is set at the tail of the co-pilot.
The taillight style of the new car has the feeling of RX5, but the internal structure of the light group has changed obviously. In addition, the position of the brand LOGO has been replaced by the letter "ROEWE", which is also a more obvious detail change compared with the previous Roewe models.
There are not many exaggerated changes in the interior layout, and there are not many signs of new energy. The dashboard adopts the style of pointer+LCD screen, which is slightly worse than the full LCD instrument screen of ERX5. The air conditioning operation area is placed in front of the shift lever, and it is still relatively easy to operate. As for the shift mode, Ei5, like ERX5, adopts knob shift, and the front shift lever can adjust the driving mode and power recovery.
Because of the problem of battery arrangement, the electric car easily affects the rear seat space or trunk volume, but Ei5 controls it very well in this respect, and the overall trunk volume is not greatly affected by the battery pack, which shows the advantages of the station wagon.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a motor with a maximum of 116 horsepower and a set of ternary lithium batteries. It is understood that the maximum endurance of the car under comprehensive working conditions is more than 300 kilometers. The form is the same as that of, and the front type and the rear torsion beam type are adopted.
Editor’s comment:In the editor’s opinion, at this time, SAIC Roewe launched Roewe Ei5 travel electric vehicle, which accurately grasped the current automobile market. At present, station wagons and pure electric vehicles are fashionable products, which can make more young consumers pay more attention to it, and Ei5 successfully seized the first batch of travel electric vehicles. As far as the electric vehicle market is concerned, Ei5 has no direct competitors. Therefore, it is believed that there will be many "crock" fans and electric fans who like it when such a product is launched at this time, in which both electric and travel are hot topics. In addition, the Roewe brand zebra intelligent interconnection system is one of the car networking systems that get good market feedback at present. If the system is also installed on Ei5, its product competitiveness will be further strengthened.
● The new BMW 530Le iPerformance
New car features:Pure battery life is 61 kilometers, and the curb weight is reduced by 190kg.
Whether it is a brand close to the people or a luxury brand around us, the development of new energy vehicles is the top priority in recent years, and the BMW 530Le iPerformance is the first domestic model of the BMW iPerformance sub-brand, and the new car is expected to be listed in January 2018.
In appearance, the design style of BMW 530Le iPerformance is not much different from that of the current 5 Series long version, but many new energy logos have been added in details. The air intake grille is decorated in blue, and the iPerformance family LOGO and eDrive LOGO are displayed on the car body. In addition, the new car still adopts the layout of exhaust pipes with two sides, adding its own sporty atmosphere.
The changes in the interior are almost negligible, but the configuration has changed. The tachometer on the right side of the instrument panel has been replaced by a power meter, which can display the charging or discharging of the vehicle. At the same time, an electricity meter has been added to the instrument panel, and the central control panel also displays more vehicle-specific information according to the unique attributes of the vehicle. At the same time, all the advanced configurations on the 5 Series and the 530Le models can be optional, which further enhances the sense of luxury in the car.
In terms of power, the new car adopts a combination of 2.0T+ motor, with the maximum power of 126 HP, the combined maximum power of the system of 251 HP and 420 Nm, and the transmission system is still 8AT gearbox. And the new car has a pure electric battery life of 61 kilometers, which is an increase compared with the overseas version of 45 kilometers. The official said that the comprehensive fuel consumption of the car is 1.9L/100 kilometers.
Editor’s comment:The launch of BMW 530Le iperformance further enriched the medium and large hybrid vehicle market, but it came a little late compared with the plug-in hybrid version, after all, it has already been listed in China. If 530Le wants to gain stronger market competitiveness, it seems very important to control the price by relying on its domestic identity.
● Energi
New car features: pure battery life will reach 50 kilometers.
After Japanese, Korean and other brands have introduced medium-sized hybrid vehicles to China, facing the huge market of China, American brands are bound to be unwilling to lag behind. At the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2017, Ford Mondeo Energi was officially unveiled. This Ford Mondeo plug-in hybrid model has always received high attention. Recently, it is reported that Ford Mondeo Energi will be officially listed in March 2018.
The appearance of the new car is not much different from that of the gasoline version of Mondeo. The charging port on the driver’s fender is the most obvious sign of the new energy identity of the car. The overall design of the front face shape is the same as that of the gasoline version, except that the air intake grille adopts a grid-like design, and the sharp headlights make the whole front face look more fierce. And at the end, that’s what the fuel version looks like.
The interior layout is also the same as the fuel version of Mondeo. The biggest change is that the LCD dashboard of the new car displays a series of electric vehicle data according to the identity of its new energy vehicle.
In terms of power, the car is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine (with a maximum power of 146 HP), a motor and a Ni-Co-Mn ion battery pack. Today, the pure electric cruising range of competing models is increasing day by day. It is believed that Changan Ford will also improve the cruising range of this Mondeo Energi, which is pushed to China, in the pure electric driving mode. It was reported that the pure electric cruising range of the new car is expected to increase from 35km in the European version to 50km.
Editor’s comment:Ford Mondeo’s fuel version has won high attention since its launch because of its unique appearance. With the rapid development of new energy, Changan Ford also launched the Mondeo plug-in hybrid model, which not only conforms to the initiative of energy conservation and environmental protection, but also enriches its product line and improves its market competitiveness. At the same time, in the context of the dual-point policy, the development of new energy vehicles is also the most basic requirement. According to Changan Ford’s official statement, all models of Changan Ford will provide new energy versions by 2025.
