Originally, BYD announced the same price of gasoline and electricity, and set the starting price of plug-in hybrid models at 9980,000 yuan is already the limit in the market, but the later competitors are more intense.
In the case of JAC, they launched the JAC Yttrium 3, which is available in two endurance versions of 405 and 505 km, with a starting price of only 8990,000 yuan.
Not only that, JAC also launched a Champion Edition model, with a range of 505 kilometers and a price of only 9990,000 yuan, it has become the cheapest pure electric vehicle model with a range of about 500 kilometers, and it is also the only model with a range of 500 kilometers within 100,000 yuan, pushing the market competition to a new height.
According to the official policy, consumers who purchase the model before the end of the year will enjoy the rights and interests of the three-electric lifetime warranty, free roadside assistance, free delivery of the original charging pile, and an ultra-long loan policy of 60 installments with zero interest.
JAC yttrium was officially launched in mid-June, and sales showed an increasing trend from July to August, but the growth was limited. By September, sales had dropped sharply, with more than 1,200 units out. This is mainly because the pricing and size of the JAC Yttrium 3 is exactly between the BYD Seagull, Wuling Binguo and BYD Dolphin, and consumers either choose to spend a little more money to buy the Dolphin or choose to save money to buy the Seagull or Binguo, putting the Yttrium 3 in an awkward position.
Still, the Champion Edition, which was launched in September, is timely, with a great value for money and attractive battery life. The appearance of the Yttrium 3 Champion Edition is the same as the previous version, using the "bubble universe aesthetics" design language, the front face has a closed grille design, and the round headlight groups on both sides contain 137 LED lamp beads, and the overall shape is small and cute, which is somewhat similar to the Ora Good Cat.
The interior design of the car also adopts bubble elements, equipped with a two-spoke multi-function steering wheel, 62-inch LCD gauge and 128-inch floating central control screen, built-in yttrium OS system customized by JAC, iFLYTEK and Huawei, with simple interior design, almost no physical buttons and knobs in the central control area, and basic function adjustments are integrated in the central control screen.
National public opinion: Although the brand influence of JAC Yttrium 3 is limited, from a product point of view, it has a very high cost performance. For those consumers who want to spend the least amount of money to buy a pure electric model with good battery life, complete functions and a young and stylish exterior and interior, the JAC Yttrium 3 Champion Edition is definitely a good choice.
