When it comes to domestic low-end pure electric scooters, which models do you think of first? In terms of sales, the best performers are BYD's Seagull and Dolphin brothers. But dolphins are expensive, seagulls are small, is there any other option?
Dongfeng Nano 01 may be a good choice. In January, the car was officially launched at a price of 748-10.480,000 yuan, so is this car worth buying?
What kind of car is the Nano 01?
The Nano 01 starts at 7480,000 yuan, obviously, this is a low-end scooter, but it is not low-end to Chery QQ ice cream, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV level, it is considered to have taken a middle road, so how does this car perform?
It is difficult to innovate in the appearance of small electric vehicles, but the Nano 01 still shows certain characteristics through the design of split headlights and through-type light strips.
The Nano 01 body length is 4030mm, the wheelbase has reached 2660mm, and it adopts a five-seat layout, and the rear seat space is still okay, but in the case of a small trunk, its rear seats may act as a "small warehouse" more often.
In addition, this body design with relatively short front and rear overhangs will have less cushioning space in the event of a collision, which is also worth noting.
In terms of interior, the Nano 01 adopts a minimalist style, eliminating most of the physical buttons, mainly through the 12The 8-inch central control screen is used to call up various functions.
At the same time, the center console and door trim panels of the new car are also softly wrapped in a large area, and the comfort is okay. But from an objective point of view, such a low-end model will not reach a very high level in terms of workmanship and materials.
In terms of power, the Nano 01 is equipped with a 70kW front-mounted single motor, and the cruising range is divided into two types: 330km and 430km. In fact, this kind of power performance is not strong, starting, acceleration will give people a more "meat" feeling, but if you buy a car for the purpose of urban transportation, then this kind of power and battery life can already meet the needs of daily cars.
What attracts Nano 01 to people?
From an objective point of view, a small car like Nano 01 is unlikely to be configured with other models, and there are no design highlights, it can attract users, relying on low prices and lower car costs.
The new model starts at 7480,000 yuan, among the pure electric models above 4 meters, it is relatively close to the people. Of course, there are a lot of sedan fuel vehicles on the market that are cheaper than it, but the power consumption of nano 01 per 100 kilometers is only about 10 degrees, according to the city power, the cost of 100 kilometers of cars is about 10 yuan, and the fuel vehicles of the same price, the cost of using a car in the urban area may be more than 60 yuan.
In addition, Nano 01 can also enjoy the purchase tax exemption policy if the user buys 9280,000 yuan of the medium version, this alone can save about 9,000 yuan in cost, which is not small for most users.
At the same time, the "saving" of nano 01 is also reflected in the maintenance and maintenance, this low-end model has a simple structure, no such complex parts, as long as the battery and motor do not have major problems, the place that usually needs maintenance is far less than that of oil vehicles, saving money and time.
In the process of using the car, users may also experience other advantages of this car, such as a relatively high wading depth, which may be more reassuring in rainy weather; Hang new energy license plates, unlimited lines and unlimited numbers; When the battery is sufficient, you can lie in the car for a long time to catch up on dramas, sleep, and play games, which is something that fuel vehicles can't do.
The disadvantage of nano 01 is that its value retention rate may be relatively low, and the battery attenuation of low-end models will be more obvious.
But these are the commonalities of pure electric models, if users can use seventy or eighty thousand **, buy a comfortable to use, low cost, more convenient travel scooter, I believe many people are still willing to consider.
How to choose the six cars?
Nano 01 was launched, and a total of 6 cars were launched, and the selectivity was still relatively strong.
The entry-level version of the 2024 330 Lite is priced at 7480,000 yuan, significantly lower than other models, but its configuration is also simpler, there is no central control screen, reversing image and voice recognition and other common functions, and even the ESP body stability system has been canceled.
Most people buy a car, or they have to consider it comprehensively. The remaining five models are divided into two models with a range of 330 km and three models with a range of 430 km. The 330km endurance version of the model provides reversing camera, large central control screen, car networking, OTA upgrade, voice recognition and other functions, and the internal configuration can already meet daily needs, it is suitable for those users with a low car purchase budget.
The 430km range version mainly converts the battery pack from 3145 degrees upgraded to 423 degrees, an increase of 100 km of range.
At the same time, the top-of-the-line 430 MAX version also offers 360-degree panoramic view, transparent chassis, adaptive cruise, active braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, automatic parking and other functions, mainly to enhance the driving assistance function, but its price has also reached 10480,000 yuan, suitable for those users who have high requirements for intelligence.
Who are the competitors?
Nano 01 is not big, it is not small, it is a grade higher than micro cars such as Wuling Hongguang MINI EV, but it is lower than the BYD Dolphin, so the most direct competitor is BYD's Seagull.
Seagulls are priced at 738-8.980,000 yuan, this ** is relatively close to the nano 01 330km endurance version. The advantage of the Nano 01 is that it has a larger body, a lap larger than the Seagull, an extra number of seats, and better space performance.
In addition, it reaches 70kW of power, while the Seagull is only 55kW. In terms of basic equipment, there is not much difference between the two cars, but in terms of assembly process, it may be a little worse than the mature Seagull. The low price of the dolphin is brought about by mass production and the reduction of costs, and the nano 01 may need to make some trade-offs in the unseen.
However, the biggest shortcoming of Nano 01 is not in product performance, but in brand awareness. BYD's three-electric system has been recognized by a large number of users, and the Seagull is a ruthless character with a monthly sales of 50,000 units, and it is almost the first choice for most consumers to buy models of the same level.
Although Nano 01 has the advantages of **, space and power, it is still unknown whether it can be recognized by users.
7-100,000 yuan scooter market, the capacity is still relatively large, at present, the seagull is unique in this field, nano 01 also has its own way of playing, if you prefer large space vehicles, then in the case of little difference in budget, nano 01 is still worth choosing.
