Car Matrix "New Car Preview: The existence of the already elf-like but unexpectedly "grown up", Mercedes-Benz acquired smart after its positioning is very accurate, the exquisite and small body is flexible and flexible, which has also attracted a lot of fans around the world, and owning it is also a manifestation of feelings. In order to meet the needs of new energy, especially electrification, Mercedes-Benz has taken care of itself to give Geely the "cumbersome" smart, and the joint venture intention of the two sides is very obvious to make smart fully electrified so as to stand firm in the Chinese market and radiate the global market.
Since the launch of the smart Phantom 1, it has grown a lot and its price has soared to 1790-28.490,000 yuan, and the Phantom 3 is 2099-28.The price of 990,000 yuan makes people "jaw drop", the classic two-door design is gone, and it has become a four-door open system, and the body size has become larger at the same time, and the price has made netizens see a lot of Geely Automobile's design elements.
Recently, the third pure electric SUV model of smart has been **, this model named "Phantom 5" continues the design style of the domestic smart, the body size is further upgraded, obviously better than the Phantom 3, the headlight group, the front face design has a strong Geely design elements, competitors locked in Mercedes-Benz EQB, BMW ix1 and Volvo XC40 pure electric version and other models. The single-motor version or the lithium iron phosphate battery, the dual-motor version or the ternary lithium battery, supports 800V high-voltage fast charging technology.
The road to the localization of the smart brand is also bumpy, in order to adapt to the Chinese market had to be redesigned, it has long been "violated" the spiritual realm of smart, due to the increase in manufacturing costs, the price is also high, and in the era of fuel vehicles, smart can even approach the price of 100,000 yuan after discounts, and now the start is fast 180,000 yuan, which virtually blocks many users, although there is a reason for the brand premium, but at the moment new energy models "bloom everywhere" People are accustomed to plug-in hybrid models with more affordable prices, and the slightly "embarrassing" smart is indeed not very popular in the market, and there is basically no one in the second-hand car market, so it seems that the cooperation between Mercedes-Benz and Geely will inevitably be cool.
