On December 9th, the Trumpchi New Energy Night and E8 Delivery Party was held on the Bund in Shanghai. At the event site, through the three-act scene stage play, we were presented with the scene of a family choosing a car, buying a car, and using a car, and there is no doubt that Trumpchi E8 is aimed at family users.
* It is also quite powerful, with two configurations of 20 respectively98 and 22980,000 yuan, from the moment the price was released, I thought this car could be popular.
With the continuous entry of various car companies into the MPV field in the past two years, there is no shortage of high-quality products in this market, and it can even be said that many of them are worth the money. But most of them have too high a "starting point" for us ordinary people to afford.
You look at the VOYAH Dreamer, ZEEKR 009, DENZA D9, Xpeng X9, etc., which one is less than 300,000. It is understandable that car companies want to use high-end models to raise their brand image, but they somewhat ignore the real needs of consumers.
After all, the high-end market of more than 300,000 yuan, the current audience is still a minority, and the new energy MPV market in the price range of 15-250,000 is still a blue ocean, and the arrival of Trumpchi E8 can be regarded as filling the gap in this part.
A new energy MPV designed for the household market
Of course, I think it can become popular not only because it has seized the opportunity, but also because the Trumpchi E8 looks like an upgraded version of the Odyssey.
In particular, in terms of space layout, the second-row seats have a very large distance to move forward and backward, and the seat backrest angle can be changed to 168°, plus the leg rest that can lie completely flat, you can enjoy the only second-row double-sided zero-gravity seats equipped in the same class.
Secondly, the third row of seats can be completely stowed into the floor, creating a fully flat trunk space. It can also be turned backwards as a whole into a "fishing stool", which is the same as the Odyssey in terms of gameplay and use.
But the Trumpchi E8 chassis has to be stuffed under a piece of 25The 57kWh battery pack, and in order to facilitate passengers to get on and off the car, the Trumpchi E8 also made the chassis very low, which is obviously a bigger test for the chassis layout.
Trumpchi E8 is also equipped with a new Xingling electronic and electrical architecture, and the biggest role of this architecture is to turn the past distributed electronic and electrical architecture into a centralized one. The so-called distributed architecture means that each component has its own brain, and they do their own thing, and there is little intersection with each other, so it is difficult to make a big breakthrough in intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving.
The centralized Xingling architecture is managed by a brain, which can make the relationship between the various components closer, this architecture is more common in pure electric vehicles, but plug-in hybrid models are still relatively rare.
As an MPV, it often has to travel with its family, and energy consumption and battery life are also a point of investigation. Trumpchi E8 uses i-GTEC Drive Quark Zhiqiang three electrics, its 20L hybrid engine, with 421% of the highest thermal efficiency of the same displacement.
Matched with planetary gear series and parallel two-speed DHT gearbox, the engine always runs in the most efficient working range, so the Trumpchi E8 is also remarkable in terms of endurance. The all-electric range is 150 km in the CLTC mode and 1,200 km in the fully charged state.
I have personally tested that I ran 495km at high speed under the condition of feeding, and the final fuel consumption of the feed was 64L 100km, for an MPV, is still very fuel-efficient. The key is that it is also equipped with 33kw external discharge and 5The 5kw discharge function not only has zero anxiety in battery life, but also acts as a "mobile power bank" to provide energy replenishment for other vehicles.
In addition, the Trumpchi E8 also adopts the i-GTEC Chassis Juxing intelligent control chassis, with ASTC eagle claw system to achieve more precise steering, coupled with a low body center of gravity, even if it is an MPV, it can also drive a flexible handling feeling.
Family car 30 times
Guo Baixun, deputy general manager of GAC Passenger Vehicle, said: "Family car 1In the 0 era, the car is the leading one, and the pursuit of face is pursuedFamily car 2In the 0 era, SUVs became the mainstream, mainly for themselves and for pleasure;And with the start of deliveries of the Trumpchi E8, the family car came to 30 era, this era emphasizes for the family, for everyone. ”
With the development of the times, MPVs, which are more spacious than sedans and more comfortable than SUVs, have gradually become the first choice for family cars. The continuous participation of major car companies has also made the market segment continue to heat up, and it is believed that more MPV models will pour in in the future.
As a pioneer of its own brand luxury MPV, Trumpchi has been attracting attention from M8 to E9, and has ranked first in the list of self-owned brand luxury MPVs in terms of sales for many times. The arrival of Trumpchi E8 will form two camps with E9 for home and commercial use, further consolidating Trumpchi's position in MPV.
"Full Love Preferred Plan" has given Trumpchi E8 a boost, so that more parents with limited budgets can easily join the Trumpchi E8 family.
Write at the end
In the past, Trumpchi brought its own brand MPV to a new height with its luxury MPV, and now in the new energy era, can Trumpchi continue to create its own era under the siege?We'll see.
