As a family's second car, people often expect it to be affordable, easy to drive and park, and spacious. From this point of view, a pure electric small car is undoubtedly more in line with these requirements. Today I will recommend to you two pure electric vehicles with smaller size and higher cost performance, with a minimum price of less than 50,000 yuan.
Leap T03, 2023 200 Light Edition, guide price: 5990,000 yuan.
Like the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, the Leapmotor T03 is also a mini car, but it doesn't have a boxy design. The front face design is more rounded, the headlight group and LED daytime running lights are also round, the charging port is located in the front face ** position, and there is a hollow air intake bar below, which is combined with the headlights to form a smiley face, making it look more cute.
The tail design is relatively simple, the two headlights are inlaid on the left and right sides like corn kernels, connected by a black trim strip in the middle, which looks coordinated, and the rear bumper is made of black plastic, which can avoid hurting the paint when encountering small scratches.
Entering the car, the interior design of Leapmotor T03 is simple, there are no physical buttons in the entire central control area, and all functions are integrated into 101-inch floating center display. It is equipped with the Leapmotor OS in-vehicle intelligent system, and supports 4G network and OTA upgrades, which has a certain degree of playability. The 8-inch LCD instrument cluster can clearly display information such as speed and range, but due to cost control, the screen display effect is average. The interior of the car is available in two interior colors: forest gray and cherry shell pink, and the overall interior texture is not bad.
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the body are 3620 1652 1605mm, and the wheelbase is 2400mm. Different from other mini cars, the Leapmotor T03 adopts a five-door four-seat design, and the extra two rear doors make it more convenient for rear passengers to get on and off the bus. When a passenger with a height of 1.78 meters sits in the back seat, there is still 1 fist of legroom, which is enough to transport children to and from school and daily transportation.
In terms of configuration, the Leap T03 200 light luxury version is equipped with the main and co-pilot seat airbags, driving mode switching, rear reversing radar, reversing image, satellite navigation, Bluetooth key, remote start, automatic headlights and mobile phone APP remote control and other functions, compared with models of the same price, the configuration is quite rich.
In terms of power, the car has a motor power of 40kW and a torque of 96Nm and is equipped with a set of 21The 6kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack has a pure electric range of 200km under CLTC mode. Although there is no fast charging function, it can be optionally costed 1000 yuan. In actual driving, the start is relatively brisk, but the speed above 50 km h is a bit difficult, so it is more suitable for urban commuting.
Geely Geometry E Firefly, 2024 301km Starlight, guide price: 7680,000 yuan.
The Geely Geometry E Firefly is a new car that was just launched in August this year. The front face is full and rounded, with slender daytime running lights connected by black trim strips to create a continuous visual effect, and split headlights are located on the air intakes on both sides, surrounded by square trim strips in the same colour as the body.
The side of the car is rounded, with multiple waistlines staggered at the rear door to give it a lighter look, and black side skirts and wheel arches add some toughness. The tire size of the 205 60R16 is in the best of the price range, and the black five-spoke wheels are visually good.
The rear design is decent, the "7" shaped taillights are not as recognizable as the continuous tail light cluster, and the large black rear bumper looks a little more plain, which could have been better if more chrome accents could have been added.
Considering the cost factor, most of the interior of the Geometry E Firefly is made of hard plastic, but leather wrapping is used under the center console and at the door panels to bring a certain texture. In addition, there are three interior colors to choose from: Cloud Pink, Twilight White and Stone Blue, which echo the exterior of the body paint. In terms of a sense of technology, it is equipped with a 98-inch LCD gauge and 10The 25-inch central control screen is a large conjoined screen, with functions such as Internet of Vehicles, 4G network and OTA upgrade. In addition, it supports continuous voice recognition to improve the convenience of passengers in the car.
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the Geometry E Firefly are 4006 1765 1550mm respectively, positioning it as a small SUV, which is one lap larger than the popular small cars in the same price range. With a wheelbase of 2485mm, a 5-seater design and a rear** floor with good flatness, it can easily accommodate 5 adults.
In terms of configuration, all Geometry E Firefly models are equipped with functions such as reversing camera, satellite navigation, keyless start, roof rack, external discharge, LED headlights, and heated exterior mirrors. The 301km Starlight Edition also adds imitation leather seats, front armrests, automatic headlights, Bluetooth key, cruise control, rear parking radar, automatic parking, hill assist, brake assist, traction control, body stability control and electronic parking and other functions to improve safety and comfort. Considering the difference of 7000 yuan between the two cars, this is also one of the reasons why the Starlight version is recommended.
In terms of power and range, the Geometry E Firefly is equipped with a set of front-mounted single motors with a maximum power of 60kW and a maximum torque of 130Nm. The battery pack of the Starlight version model has a capacity of 29At 67kWh, it can provide a CLTC pure electric range of 301km, and is equipped with a fast charging function, which can be replenished to 80% in half an hour, which is enough to meet the needs of general second- and third-tier cities.
The reasons why I recommend these two models are, first of all, that they offer more space in their price range, and they are also good value for money. For example, Leap T03 200 light luxury version, although the guide price is 5990,000 yuan, but at present, you can enjoy a discount of 10,000 yuan in the terminal market, and the actual transaction price is less than 50,000 yuan.
