Following the explosion of Chuanqi M8 Master Edition, GAC Chuanqi once again brought another masterpiece of its MPV model-Chuanqi E9 at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 18. For reference, Chuanqi E9 is positioned in the medium and large MPV, and the whole system will be equipped with plug-in hybrid system. At present, * * * has launched three pre-sale models, and the official pre-sale price range is 330,000-390,000 yuan. Then let's take a look at what highlights this Chuanqi E9 has and whether it is worth recommending.
First of all, from the design part, the first impression that Chuanqi E9 brings us is luxury and full of gas field. In the front, Chuanqi E9 also provided us with two sets of designs, one is the front face of "China Awakening the Lion" that we saw in Chuanqi M8 Master Edition, and the other is the new front face of "Kunpeng Spreading its Wings".
It is made up of six chrome-plated decorative strips arranged horizontally, creating a certain borderless effect. The headlight style connected with the through-going light strips on both sides is also very novel. Although it is also a "7"-shaped style, light bars with different lengths extend step by step at the lower end of the light group again. After lighting it, it really smells like Dapeng spreading its wings. Compare China's Wake Up the Lion with Kunpeng Spreading its Wings.
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of Chuanqi E9 are 5193/1893/1823 mm, and the wheelbase is 3070 mm Compared with Chuanqi M8 grandmaster series, the length is slightly reduced, and other parameters remain unchanged. Including the side, we can see that the design style of the whole vehicle is the same as that of Chuanqi M8 Master Series, such as square body posture, Z-shaped body lines, suspended roof and so on. However, some details have been adjusted differently, such as chrome decoration of side skirts and roof, brand-new wheel hub style and exclusive PHEV logo of front wing.
As for the rear end, the gap between Chuanqi E9 and Chuanqi M8 Master Series is very small, and the visibility of the through "7" taillight is very impressive. In addition to the differences in vehicle LOGOs between the two cars, Chuanqi E9 will also be replaced with a brand logo with a black background.
Next, let's look at the interior of Chuanqi E9. The new car also brought us two sets of interior design styles, one is "Yunshan Zhushui" with China artistic conception, and the other is "Theater" with artistic flavor. The two designs have their own advantages, but I don't know if it is necessary to increase the price.
The overall interior layout is also family-style, simple and elegant, and the materials are exquisite. In the front row, we come standard with three large screens: 12.3-inch LCD instrument+14.6-inch LCD central control+12.3-inch passenger entertainment screen * * *, and the second row of new cars also come standard with 15.6-inch central entertainment screen, which brings a very good scientific and technological atmosphere.
Not to mention comfort. The second row in a prime location can meet almost all your needs. Independent seat made of semi-aniline high-grade leather, equipped with ventilation, heating, massage and other functions, and added Yamaha headrest audio. The comfort experience is definitely not bad.
It is worth mentioning that Chuanqi E9 is also equipped with an in-vehicle vital signs detection system and the industry's first MPV rear windshield airbag. This icing on the cake for security attributes is commendable. In fact, from the appearance and interior, we have seen a lot of family-style designs similar to Chuanqi M8 Master Series. This is not to say that Chuanqi E9 is not new, but I think it is smart. At least the explosion of Chuanqi M8 Master Series also proves that this family-style design is successful in luxury MPV models, and it is also very popular among Chinese people, so it is not a big problem to continue as much as possible.
In terms of power, Chuanqi E9 will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 2.0T turbocharged engine and an electric motor. In terms of transmission, it will be matched with a hybrid dedicated 2-speed DHT gearbox, with a comprehensive maximum power of 274kW and a comprehensive peak torque of 630N·m, and the official zero speed increase is only 8.8s s. Chuanqi E9 is also equipped with electromagnetic induction suspension, which will also make the whole vehicle have a good compatibility in performance and comfort.
As a plug-in hybrid car, fuel consumption is also its highlight. In the case of power loss, the fuel consumption of Chuanqi E9 is only 6.05L per 100 kilometers. With its pure endurance of 106km and comprehensive endurance of 1032km, we can enjoy the economic performance of trams in urban environment without worrying about the endurance anxiety caused by long-distance travel. Why not?
Li Duojun's words:
In the past, luxury MPV models have always been monopolized by joint venture car companies, so starting from the national complex, I very much support Chuanqi E9, a self-owned brand model that breaks through monopoly barriers. Of course, from the perspective of product strength, the overall quality of Chuanqi E9 is absolutely strong, and the addition of plug-in hybrid will undoubtedly be more competitive. But correspondingly, there are not a few luxury MPVs with strong independent brands, and the pressure on Chuanqi E9 should not be underestimated. So with the same budget, will friends choose Chuanqi E9?
