years ago, we discussed the concern of the Chinese BYD pure electric midsize car, forget the point where you can review. In the circumstances, the Chinese BYD same level opponents, only Xiaopeng P7 and Model 3, and 7 Series Weimaraner not show up.
A few days later, however, brought a new electric car DC1E grams into our field of vision, the car wheelbase of about 3 m, battery life is said to be able to break 700 km, these two data alone is enough by consumers and media attention. (See spy Twitter watermark source)
Currently on DC1E we can get the information, only one side surface of the spy, an EIA table (involving power, size and other information), some “gossip” (frameless doors, air suspension and other details on the configuration) and their possible origins in PMA platform. Then we as a summary of what we carefully sort out these details, as well as some speculation based on information.
■ spy revealing what information?
Unfortunately, only a vague car DC1E outflow side view, the appearance of the key information is difficult to obtain. But we still can see the front part of a raised, leading grams of suspected common family split headlights; the grille below reveal some of the holes, does not seem like geometry as a closed grill.
In addition, from the point of view of the trend of the column C, as BYD car is not moving and the large projections such as Chinese fastback; also see FIG spy car five-pointed star shape using the hub, in addition to other information difficult to read, while the interior of the spy has not discharged.
but we are at the beginning of 2019 the news, find some other spy photos of the car, but these spy photos seem to be 01 grams and casing collar Long after the test.
on the
▲ Pictured early exposure spy 2019
▲ the picture shows the collar 01 grams
Therefore, we can only speculate that the appearance of the car still uses lead grams urban oppositionFamily design aesthetic, the interior part no news, but given its location, it should be more luxurious than some of the current leading grams of product.
According to product promotion law before the collar grams family, there should be a spy after exposure official figure offer, we look forward to it.
Compared to this column still holds partly concealed spy, and it disclose information with the EIA analysis table may more detail:
[ 123] 
■ life might break the 700 km?
First, it must be stated that this is the result of the calculation of life. We also mentioned above, on the car, there are some seven miscellaneous eight miscellaneous news, which one is, there is likely to be equipped with
a capacity of 100 kWh battery pack .
Let us believe that this is true message, binding EIA list display 100 kilometers power consumption is 13.8 ~ 15.7 kWh,
can be roughly calculated car mileage of 637 ~ 725 km If so, then at least in terms of mileage, the car is not lost on Xiaopeng P7, Chinese BYD EV and other similar products (there will be follow-up comparison table of these core data model), they may even open up “700 km New Era “, and this figure is basically tied to fuel cars can be a tank of fuel mileage up.
■ positioning and opponents: BYD Chinese sniper?
EIA found from the table, g DC1E collar length and breadth respectively 4850/1980/1530 mm, a wheelbase of 2999 mm. The size has been exceeded in the car, in the large car approaching the size (wheelbase than the Audi A6L is 3024 mm).
Further, the source said, “DC1E” means “D-segment + Crossover + No.1 + EV” indicates that the positioning of its flagship.
then we guess we saw it, a direct competitor DC1E, is the Chinese BYD EV, and Xiaopeng P7, Weimaraner 7 Series, of course, often pulled Model 3 dislikes. [12Under 3]
analyze these opponents, Model 3 brand positioning is actually close to the BBA, most importantly, the way it has been delivered, and a large number of users to help test the water. And these cars made in China have never seen the basic production version, go BYD is the fastest EV Han Xiaopeng and P7, both declared the Ministry of Industry, launched a small range of media test drive, another released sale price and a predetermined opening.
From the current state of view, before and after the Beijing auto show in April is a good time to debut, but ran into bad luck this year, the epidemic led to delays, the policy is bound to be declared fat Affected.
Thus, if the collar grams DC1E not pick up the pace, this year is likely to be snatched user Model 3, Chinese EV, P7 Xiaopeng and other opponents.
■ venture a guess at pricing
complete understanding of the opponent, we try to guess the car’s pricing, and domestic version of the P7 Xiaopeng gives a range Model 3 , resulting in a reference to the pricing of other products, in particular the Model 3 fell below 300,000, the impact on domestic brands is quite large. One problem
In addition, Geely and even lead grams is not sold more than 300,000 products, and it has long roots in the new energy field, continually allowing users accustomed to high prices BYD is not the same. But the collar 01 grams of mixed interpolation version of the most Gao price of 222,700, 250,000 Knut want to break the force or can do.
So I venture to guess, collar grams DC1E could have put the starting price of about 25-30 million and the main marketing vehicle if you want to just hard Model 3 290 000 on the reference pricing, if still take domestic cars old, you can avoid the kingpin model price model 3 edge. We can also guess collar grams DC1E pricing, as well as your reasons in the comments area actively Oh, look at who is the most accurate guess.
■ Additional information EIA table revealed
below the other things EIA table can be read to show you the next, more unfortunately, can be “empty talk “the power of information were not disclosed.
provides four-wheel drive car and a rear-drive two versions, without providing a precursor version. Dual-motor version 100 kilometers acceleration performance with the Chinese BYD EV, P7 Xiaopeng and other competing products did not differ much, but rather single-motor version a little gap, data 7.5-8.3s’s not that bad, but in view of its flagship positioning and competing products exaggerated compared with the data, a bit low. Look at their own geometry A, one hundred kilometers all the 8.8s.
but also need to mention that this table shows hundred mph, test standard is not clear, but other competing products are “official data.”
The following table for everyone to make one gram DC1E collar with competing products intuitive display data (data stage or production car data slightly different):
about data “NVH target” and “target vehicle TVOC and odor” mentioned, presumably for the lead grams own subjective evaluation system in the standard value, particularly high or low can not judge. For example, in general smell of the judgment level, there are 10 levels, and the public only six. However, these standards meet the requirements of consumers, after the car market, a “look and smell” at a glance.
■ long-dormant Geely electric platform
Sources also revealed that the car will be born unlucky PMA platform,
about this platform, there are three points you need to know. a,
PMA platform, what is?
PMA platform is Geely and Volvo to develop the whole
new pure electric cars exclusive architecture
, will be used to build Geely’s brand and lead grams of pure electric vehicles. The architecture includes the difference between PMA1 and PMA2 two platforms, two major platforms in size.
We can see from the chart, PMA platform supports five, six and two models, is expected to cover the medium and large to miniature products.
as a pure electric platform, birth comes “noble blood”, I will not speak of the significance car prices itself, it from the consumer’s point of view, the product of pure electric platform, is indeed better than oilTo electricity have a better layout, more secure protection.
Second,
we can buy what products PMA platform?
PMA platform is not a new thing, before there was news exposed, and Geely has opened the platform. According to the plan materials Geely 2017 conference, we learned that:
For the collar grams brand, based on PMA platform will launch A + / B-Class crossover vehicle, city car, C + grade domestic and cross-border car A + class a / B and SUV coupe.
which will be the first model in the 600 km of mileage A + / B grade crossover vehicle; second vehicle mileage is 450km stage cross-A0 car, has not yet been news, products will be sold in China, Europe and the United States.
then a little bit divergent thinking, whether the car “A + / B Crossover” is the protagonist of this article DC1E it? At least from the point of view of currently available information, we did not see the other PMA platform products. But the PPT models of life, are incompatible with the positioning D1CE.
but I think, life in 2017 planned 600 km, should be standing on the vantage point of the time, who would have thought there are more than 2019, 600 km of electric car? Who would have thought the new forces have never really dared to touch its own brand of medium and large covered products? And this plan is slightly rough, was still in its early stage of the product should be defined, for the present study we DC1E reference value is not too large.
divergence is over we still talk back to PMA platform products for Geely brand will contain A0-class crossover, A / B-Class, A + grade CUV (Car-Based Utility Vehicle, Car, combined characteristics SUV utility vehicles) and class B SUV. The first
vehicle mileage is 500 km, to A + grade crossover vehicle. According to information previously released by Geely, this model will be released in 2020.
Thus, by 2020, we should be able to buy or to see under the PMA platform, a collar gram model, which is the protagonist of this article; and a Geely car, but there is no news.
Third,
there is no difference with CMA platform
word, PMA platform is a pure electric, fuel vehicles can not be developed; however CMA platform can develop fuel vehicles pure trams, hybrid vehicles plug, 48V products.
In these large-scale propaganda Geely and Volvo is jointly developed platform CMA, CMA would like to know more about the platform, you can see the first part of this article.
think about it, the past few years there are few electric cars Geely as its fuel car is so amazing products, the majority of oil to power existing models (geometric origin of what we know everything, we back will talk), compared to hand e platform, ME platform and BYD GEP platform and a range of marketed products, the Great Wall and Guangzhou Automobile, Geely can not worry you?
Now PMA platform’s first product came out, we are very lucky really looking forward to the pure electric platform products, whether or not it has a highly general public MEB platform, still unknown, but it is undeniable, PMA platform is definitely a red-letter Geely repairer sum of the road.
■ geometry which way to go
We know that Geely’s brand positioning is lucky with its own brand and low-end joint competition (recent upward momentum); Volvo it is still a luxury brand; the collar grams of the standard Volkswagen joint venture of Toyota and other mainstream brands, and consciously adopt a “sword pay” strategy in the appearance of the interior and so on.
But now, the role of Geely’s high-end positioning of the electric car seems to be playing geometry, and the results were good, geometric A compact-class car priced at more than 150,000, a new car as a geometric C SUV, the price should be more high.
but the geometry of the product’s obviously a product of the Imperial family face-lift, compared with the real pure electric platform products, there is still “bad blood” of disadvantage. So lucky this timeLaunched a new product platform, I think it seems to change with the transition to public power oil, similar to the follow-up to promote the MEB platforms.
then brought gram will grab market geometry? I think Geely have the strength to be able to handle this problem, leading grams family and the family of geometric appearance of the interior also has a sufficient degree of difference, as long as the master auspicious price range, the idea is not too worried about the market both grab each other.
I want a little more, when Geely products under the PMA platform on the market, geometric how to play? We guess, they can still pressing this “simple Nordic style” design philosophy, the foundation replaced by PMA platform to continue to produce products, the formation of Geely – geometry – three leading brands gram OK, of course, this is only my personal brain-dong , I looked at the play on the line.
■ state review
in 2020, originally sparsely populated mid-sized pure tram market began to rise, more and more electric car models available in the market, which year must be a year of product strength, consumers want more and more difficult. So the question is, collar grams DC1E, Chinese BYD EV, Xiaopeng P7, Tesla Model 3, you choose who? Welcome to share with you in the comments.
