Through this epidemic, I believe many consumers have felt the importance of owning a private car. Especially some consumers in cities with purchase restrictions have indescribable desire to buy cars after having the quota. EV Jun would like to remind you not to be impatient. In the coming days of 2020, not only will there be a number of independent brand pure electric vehicles with ultra-long battery life about to be launched, but many joint venture brands will also launch new energy sources in the country. Products, let’s see if there are any dishes for you.
Volkswagen ID.3
WLTP cruising range 330km-550km
ID.3 is the first mass-produced model of Volkswagen’s pure electric ID. family. According to Volkswagen It is built with a new modular electric drive platform (MEB). According to the news, this model will be introduced to the domestic market for sale this year. Different from the current oil-to-electric models such as Bora Pure Electric, Lavida Pure Electric and the upcoming Tuyue Pure Electric, the ID.3 is based on The pure electric platform is undergoing research and development and has stronger product capabilities. It is a product worth waiting for.
In terms of appearance, ID.3 has a brand-new design gene. From the design elements such as the closed grille, dotted decoration, and flat wheels, you can tell at a glance that it is a zero-emission product. In addition, the new car also uses Volkswagen’s latest flat all-black logo. For a zero-emission product, it seems that the flat logo is more suitable for them.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the ID.3 vehicle are 4261/1809/1552mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2765mm. Compared with the Golf 7 generation, the length, width and height are larger.
Since the new car is built on the MEB platform, there is no need to consider the layout of components such as the engine. Therefore, the four wheels can be designed at the four corners of the vehicle as much as possible to obtain a larger wheelbase and wider body. From the wheelbase data, we can see that although the ID.3 is equivalent to the Golf 7, its wheelbase exceeds the Golf 7 by 128mm, which is completely a leapfrog level.
In the past, when we looked at the interiors of Volkswagen models, we would complain that the design was really too conservative, and products of different levels were similar. Although we could get good workmanship and convenient functions, in the end it was still It lacks some freshness and surprise. You will be surprised when you come inside the ID.3. Is this really the interior of a Volkswagen? Whether it is color matching or layout, the overall design is bolder and more youthful, which is very consistent with the positioning of flat-emission products.
The instrument panel adopts a full LCD design, and the information and control devices are digitalized, allowing every driver to be intuitively familiar with the various operations of the ID.3. In addition to the display screen in front of the driver's seat, this model is also equipped with a newly developed 10-inch display screen in the center of the instrument panel, which can provide the driver with various important information.
Volkswagen revealed that almost all functions inside the new car are touch-operated, including the multi-function buttons on the steering wheel. Only the power windows and hazard warning lights are still operated by push switches. In addition, users can also operate the vehicle through intelligent voice control. Through the App-Connect function, users can connect the ID.3 to their smartphone in seconds.
In terms of cruising range, the ID.3 model in the European market can be equipped with batteries of three capacities. The actual usable power of the battery of the basic model is 45 kWh, and the pure electric cruising range is 330 kilometers (WLTP). The price of this version of the ID.3 entry-level model in Europe is less than 30,000 euros.
In addition, there is also a medium-capacity battery with a usable power of 58 kWh available, with a pure electric range of 420 kilometers (WLTP).
The actual available power of the high-capacity battery is 77 kWh, and the pure electric cruising range is up to 550 kilometers (WLTP). It is worth mentioning that ID.3 supports DC charging with a maximum power of 100 kilowatts, and can charge the power required for 290 kilometers (WLTP) in 30 minutes.
BMW? iX3
WLTP range 439km? It is expected to launch a version with a range of over 600km
iX3 is a pure electric SUV model that BMW has been gestating for a long time. At present, overseas media have repeatedly exposed test spy photos of this model with almost the camouflage stickers removed. According to the time plan, the new car will meet us within this year. In addition, BMW iX3 will be produced in China and sold overseas in the future, so we are the first consumers to buy this product in the global market.
iX3 is a pure electric SUV based on the X3. From the spy photos exposed by overseas media, we can see that the new car is not much different from the fuel version of the X3. The upper part of the grille Remaining the same as the fuel version, according to the previously released official image of the concept car, the pure electric version will be changed to a closed design.
The side shape of the car is not much different from the fuel version of the X3, with some electrified elements added. In terms of size, since the official has not disclosed it, we will temporarily look at the iX3 based on the size of the fuel version of the X3 (the length, width and height of the X3 model are 4717mm*1891mm*1689mm, and the wheelbase is 2864mm)
Since the official The interior design of iX3 has not been disclosed, but we can make bold speculations here. Since these first-tier brands are manufactured using the same platform modular approach, the interior design of the future iX3 should remain basically the same as the current X3, with only changes in details and materials.
In terms of power, iX3 will be equipped with BMW’s latest fifth-generation eDrive technology. In it, the electric motor, system electronics and gearbox in the drive unit will be integrated into a single housing. It requires less installation space and will also be significantly lighter. Compared with the previous generation product, the ratio of motor output to drive system weight has increased by approximately 30%.
The high-voltage battery pack will use NCM811 high-specific energy cells. The previously exposed iX3 equipped with a 74kWh battery pack has a cruising range of 439km (WLTP standard). It is expected that this is only the basic cruising version of the iX3, and a version with a 600-700km cruising range may be launched. In terms of charging, BMW iX3 provides a maximum DC charging power of 150 kilowatts, and it only takes 30 minutes to fully charge.
GAC Toyota C-HR pure electric vehicle
NEDC comprehensive operating range of 400 kilometers
We have praised Toyota's hybrid vehicles for many years. In this context , I believe many consumers are waiting for Toyota's pure electric vehicles. Don’t worry, its first pure electric car, the C-HR pure electric version, will meet us soon.
GAC Toyota CH-R? Pure electric model is developed based on the fuel version of CH-R. The fuel version of CH-R is a model with a very unique appearance and design among small SUVs. It has been transformed into an electric model. Model after model, this unique personality is further amplified. Such an electric vehicle is far more popular with consumers than a product with an ordinary shape and no features.
Although developed based on the fuel version, there are still many differences in the design of the two versions. The first is the front face. The pure electric version adopts a semi-enclosed design, with only a small air inlet reserved above the license plate frame. In addition, an EV logo is added above the enclosed grille to indicate the identity of the electric vehicle. identity.
The headlight shape uses a lot of straight lines, and the wide opening and closing shape makes the front face look very aggressive. The light source uses full LED headlights, and the high and low beams are integrated and equipped with lenses. What we photographed is a high-end model. If it is a low-end model, the light source may be halogen, because only the top and sub-top models of the fuel version have this configuration.
Looking from the side of the body, the pure electric version is equipped with a new set of wheels. The design of aluminum alloy plus plastic decorative cover creates a two-color effect. From the design point of view, this should be a new model. Low wind resistance wheels can increase the cruising range of the vehicle. The length, width and height of the new car are 4405/1795/1575mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2640mm. Compared with the fuel version, the body height is increased by 1mm.
The rear of the car also follows the unique shape of the fuel version. This design language is still relatively rare among Toyota products that have always been conservative. In terms of details, the rear wing has been retained, the pure electric version has the English letters ELECTRIC added, and the rest is the same as the fuel version.
The interior of the CH-R? EV has not been released to the outside world, and a hybrid version has not been introduced in China. We can refer to the hybrid versions in overseas markets. Since CH-R is already a new car under Toyota's TNGA architecture, the interior is naturally a new generation of family-style design. Piano paint material, blue decorative strips and suspended screen design make the entire interior style more youthful.
The steering wheel has a three-spoke design and is equipped with multi-function buttons. The left side controls multimedia, the right side controls the trip computer, and the cruise control lever is under the steering wheel. As can be seen from the picture above, the hybrid model still uses a traditional pointer instrument. We expect that the pure electric version will also have the same design, and the possibility of using a full LCD instrument is very low.
The gear lever of the hybrid version adopts a traditional mechanical structure, which is exactly the same as the fuel version. Due to cost considerations and the fact that the electric version may not have many sales, we judge that the pure electric version will continue this design, but the functions of the buttons around the gear lever will change.
In the power part, the new car will be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 150kW and a maximum torque of 300N·m. The power battery is made of ternary lithium material, and the energy density of the battery system is 131Wh/kg. The vehicle has a NEDC comprehensive operating range of 400 kilometers, a top speed of 160km/h, and a power consumption of 13.1kWh per 100 kilometers under operating conditions.
Kia K3 pure electric
NEDC comprehensive operating range of 490 kilometers
Kia K3 pure electric is a pure electric sedan based on the fuel version of K3 , the tiger-style air intake grille and the family's iconic vertical grille have been retained. In other aspects, it does not add too many exclusive designs because it is a new energy vehicle. Overall, it is similar to a fuel vehicle, maintaining an angular and sporty shape.
The middle grille has been closed. It is worth mentioning that the K3 pure electric closed grille has concave and convex shapes inside, and is decorated with vertical chrome plating. It is really difficult to spot if you don’t look closely. This network is closed. In addition, the vehicle's charging interface is hidden on the right side of the center grille, which can be opened through the hidden buttons on the center grille.
The headlight adopts a full LED design. From the internal structure, we can see that it uses an LED light source plus a traditional reflector bowl. The lack of a lens will affect the focusing effect of the light source. However, The brightness is relatively higher than that of traditional halogen light sources.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4660/1780/2456mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2700mm. It is a standard-sized compact car. From the side details, we can see that the pure electric version uses the traditional style wheels of the fuel version, and does not use the low wind resistance wheels on the plug-in hybrid model.
The rear of the car continues the styling design of a fuel vehicle, and there is no special tail mark on the rear to prove its identity as a pure electric vehicle. In addition, a blue decorative strip is designed on the lower part of the rear bumper, and two chrome-plated decorations are designed on the left and right sides, which are shaped like exhaust holes.
As for the interior, the official style of the interior of this model has not yet been announced, but we speculate that there will not be a redesign for the pure electric version, only changes in details. K3 currently has a plug-in hybrid version on sale. We can use the interior styling of the plug-in hybrid model as a reference.
Compared with the fuel version, its interior has a lot more blue decorations. First of all, the decorative strips above the center console and on both sides of the gear lever are all painted in bright blue. The stitching on the steering wheel, gear lever and seats are also blue. In short, I still want to reflect my identity through limited changes, but I don’t know if this method suits the taste of most consumers.
The steering wheel has a three-spoke design. In addition to being wrapped in leather, it is also decorated with piano paint and silver, which makes it look more layered. There are also many multi-function buttons. The left side controls functions such as voice, Bluetooth phone and multimedia, and the right side controls the trip computer and cruise control.
In the power part, the new car will be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 310N·m. The power battery is made of ternary lithium material. From the label above the battery pack, we can see that its total maximum capacity is 56.5 degrees. The power consumption per 100 kilometers under vehicle operating conditions is 12.8kWh/100km, and the NEDC comprehensive operating range is 490 kilometers.
In terms of parameters, the Kia K3 pure electric is equipped with the same electric motor as the Beijing Hyundai Festa pure electric. The battery model and cruising range are also exactly the same. The two cars can be regarded as sister models. According to the positioning of the Hyundai brand and the Kia brand, the price of the K3 pure electric model may be more cost-effective than the Festa pure electric model after it is launched in the future. You can wait until this model is launched to compare and choose.
Summary: As the "impact" of domestic policies and subsidies on the new energy industry gradually becomes smaller, after joint venture brands begin to deploy in the domestic market, we will be able to buy more and more new energy vehicles. The above four models are our most recommended products in their respective categories. They have BMW's handling, Volkswagen's quality, Toyota's reputation and Korean's cost-effectiveness. If you are interested in a joint venture brand, have you decided which one to choose?
