But now Tesla Model Y will usher in a new rival, that is, Changan's dark blue S7, which is expected to threaten the market position of Model Y. When it comes to Changan's dark blue, some friends may find it strange. In fact, this brand is a new energy sub-brand exclusively owned by Changan, and its positioning is different from OITA Technology, a joint venture between Changan, Huawei and Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd. Moreover, the actual performance of Changan Deep Blue is not bad, and it is the fastest new energy brand with over 10,000 deliveries in China.
Changan deep blue can be recognized, in fact, it is related to cost performance. In fact, Chang 'an has always paid more attention to cost performance. For example, Chang 'an Yida, which is currently being pre-sold, only sold 89,900 vehicles on the premise that the size reached the A+ class car standard and the standard 1.5T and 13.2 inch large screen. Chang 'an Deep Blue is no exception. The first model, Deep Blue SL03, only sold 17 19000, which is more grounded than Tesla Model 3 and BYD Seal of the same level. Although the dark blue S7 has not been officially launched, we can also speculate that the final pricing of this car is likely to be lower than Model Y, and it may be sold within 200,000.
In terms of appearance, the front face of Changan Deep Blue S7 has a very strong family design style. The front face is almost completely closed, leaving only a small air inlet under the license plate. The headlights on both sides are also separate elements in the same strain. The upper part of the headlight is flat and slender, which blends with the ribs on the hood. The lower lamp group is a pixel-level lamp array, which can display various patterns. The interactive ability is not low, and it also has a dynamic welcome effect when approaching the vehicle.
The side view of the car body is sharp, the lines of the car body are sharp, and the rear windshield is slightly inclined. At the same time, the circumference of the new car is 4750/ 1930/ 1625mm respectively, which is matched with the relatively rare 2 1 inch wheel hub in the same class, and the whole car has a low squat feeling. The tires are Ma brand PCC series tires. This series focuses on the characteristics of silence and low rolling resistance. By hollowing out the larger spokes, you can also see the large brake calipers inside. The design style of the rear light bar is exactly the same as that of the dark blue SL03, with the light sources on both sides similar to petals. The dark blue S7 extended-range vehicle chooses hidden exhaust, which is the same as the rear shape of the pure electric vehicle.
The cockpit has an obvious family design style, and the center console is equipped with a large multimedia screen, but it is not sure whether it will be equipped with a sunflower screen that can rotate left and right like the deep blue SL03. There is no traditional dashboard structure in the car. Instead, a large-size AR-HUD can project driving information onto the front windshield. The steering wheel has a flat bottom and a 3D face recognition system in front, which can synchronize the information of different drivers. Combined with the current information, the car will also be equipped with brand audio, mobile phone wireless charging and other functions, and the front seats will also provide electric leg rests.
In terms of power, Deep Blue S7 will provide pure electric and extended-range hybrid options in the future, similar to Deep Blue SL03. It can be charged and refueled to meet the different needs of users for urban travel and long-distance travel, which is also not available in Tesla Model 3. Among them, the pure electric version provides 160kW or 190kW motors with a battery capacity of 68.8/79.97kWh, which can bring 520km and 620km battery life respectively. The extended-range hybrid vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L engine with a maximum power of 70kW as the extended range, with a peak power of 75kW, a power battery capacity of 3 1.73kWh and a pure battery life of about 160km.
In general, Deep Blue S7 is an electric car with bright design. Luxury sports of vehicle design should be attractive to young consumers. This car hasn't been officially launched yet, but if it goes on the market later and meets us at a price of less than 200,000 yuan, then Deep Blue S7 will become the "king of quantity" in its class, and it will naturally threaten the market position of Tesla Model Y if it can remain competitive in the face of Tesla Model Y.
