Bitche Original In the field of micro electric vehicles, Chery Ant is the only old one left in the market. It has successfully defeated a large number of competitors at the same level. Now it has finally ushered in the spring of the market, and sales are also rising steadily. In October this year, 10,125 terminals were delivered, and 13,000 new orders were placed in a single month. Although it is not as good as the new Internet celebrity Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, its cumulative sales have exceeded 230,000 people. From the success of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, it is not difficult to see that this market is more favored by female users.
So now, Chery has also launched the Little Ant Sweet Pink model, which is clearly targeted at female users. It will be officially launched on November 13 On the market, the new car has a total of two ranges and five configurations, divided into 301km low sugar version/half sugar version/full sugar version, 408km half sugar version/full sugar version, with a guide price of 66,900-81,900 yuan. In addition, it also enjoys a series of car purchase discounts policy.
The current price range of the 200,000 Ant Pink model is 59,900-83,900 yuan. From the price It seems that the starting price of the sweet powder model is higher, so what is the difference between it and the ant powder model, and which configuration is more cost-effective? This article will take a look at it.
The appearance of the sweet pink model follows the current design. The main change is the addition of sweet peach pink color and matching cherry pink two-color interior. For women, there is no resistance, and the girl's heart bursts instantly.
The front face looks like a cute smiling face. Compared with the ant pink model, the difference is that a horizontal chrome trim strip is added to the front fog lamp area, and the lower part of the exterior rearview mirror is also Spray painted black to make it more recognizable.
On the side of the car body, the dynamic waistline is matched with a two-color suspended roof, combined with a black front lip, air intake grille, front bumper, B-pillar, wheel arch, and side panels. The skirt, two-color wheels, and blackened taillights create a dynamic atmosphere and bring a more agile visual effect to the new car.
Different from the Ant Pink model, the Sweet Pink model is equipped with new-style aluminum alloy wheels with tire specifications of 175/60 R15. High-end models are also equipped with silver roof racks to enhance visual effects and practicality.
The tail is basically the same as the ant pink model, with a simple profile design, rear windshield and tailgate The door panels are on the same plane, and the entire tailgate is completely surrounded by black hard plastic. There are not many edges and corners, and it looks round and full. The addition of the silver rear bumper makes the whole vehicle feel a little more "burly". The main changes are: first, the Chinese logo of "Little Ant" has been replaced; second, the design style of the silver lower guard plate has been slightly adjusted.
The overall design of the sweet pink model’s interior is relatively simple, except forIn addition to the new D-shaped leather steering wheel and knitted ceiling, three personalized dual-color interior options are available: cherry pink, carmine red, and dream blue, all of which require an additional price of 1,000 yuan.
Except for the seats and steering wheel, most of the touchable areas are still made of hard materials, but the brushing process is used to handle the details. Although it cannot improve the tactile experience, it can increase the The visual sense of class makes the interior of the vehicle not look cheap.
10-inch large LCD screen in the center console, Baidu Car-LIFE mobile phone interconnection, one-button start, remote control key, mobile phone remote and other functions appear In this car, remote control by mobile phone can realize remote opening and closing of air conditioning (including refrigeration, heating and defrosting). ), remote window one-touch ventilation, remote vehicle locking, remote trunk unlocking, remote car search (speaker + light), vehicle positioning, remote scheduled charging and power off, remote viewing of vehicle status (including door and window status, Vehicle mileage and total vehicle mileage), remote bonding, release and upgrade information, etc.
Compared with the Ant Pink model, the biggest internal upgrade is actually the rear The row of seats supports a 5:5 ratio of folding down. After folding down, it can form a relatively flat surface, which is convenient for storing large items and improves the flexible utilization of the rear space.
As for the utilization rate of the second-row seats themselves, the utilization rate is not too high. After all, adults of this level will be a bit frustrated if they have to fit in the back row. Buy this one People who drive cars, especially women, actually pay more attention to the personalized modification of the rear row. For example, it is a good idea to use it as your own dressing room or cloakroom.
In most car buying manuals, we rarely recommend top version, because the top version has always been less cost-effective, but for the Little Ant Sweet Pink model, I found that the low-end version is actually not cost-effective, and the two battery life top-end all-sugar versions are more worth buying. Why we think so, let’s analyze it in detail below.
First of all, in terms of standard configuration, all Little Ant Sweet Pink models come standard with headlights Follow me Home function, 10-inch center console LCD screen, Baidu Car-LIFE mobile phone interconnection, one-button start, remote key, mobile phone remote control and other comfort configurations, as well as main/passenger seat airbags, ABS, EBD, C-ESC , HAC, TPMS digital display tire pressure monitoring system, high-sensitivity reversing radarreach, and other security configurations.
It can be seen that the Little Ant Sweet Powder model is very rich in basic configuration and can already meet most of the needs of daily use. If it is just used as a scooter to buy groceries and the budget is tight, the entry-level micro-sugar version can actually meet the needs.
But we have also said that you need to look at more cost-effective models. Comparing the three configuration versions with a battery life of 301km, it is not difficult to find that for an additional price of 3,000 yuan on the micro sugar version, you can buy smart voice, GPS navigation, and 4G network + WiFi, rear disc brakes and EPB+AutoHold parking function. You must know that installing a large smart central control screen on the market costs more than 1,000 yuan, so buying these configurations for 3,000 yuan is definitely worth it.
The upgrade from the half-sugar version to the full-sugar version only costs an additional 4,000 yuan, and you can buy a panoramic canopy, luggage rack, and main body. Driving electric seats and smart car systems are also very worthwhile, because on a normal even A-class car, the price of adding a panoramic sunroof may exceed 4,000 yuan, and on the Little Ant Sweet Pink model, you can buy it for 4,000 yuan. More.
So the full sugar version is the best value for money. If you don’t lack the budget, I strongly recommend everyone to buy this configuration, because the smaller the car, the more reliable it is. The more you need a panoramic sunroof, the wider field of view can relieve the sense of oppression caused by the cramped space.
If you compare the two 408km configuration versions individually, the upgrade from the half-sugar version to the full-sugar version also costs an additional 4,000 yuan, but you will find that Money well spent because it buys more.
In fact, it is because the 408km half-sugar version has fewer configurations compared to the 301km half-sugar version, so the 408km half-sugar version is probably the configuration I least recommend. If you want to buy it, buy it. Full sugar version.
The last question, should I buy the 301km or 408km endurance version? Let’s compare the configuration differences between the two battery life versions. First of all, the price difference is 8,000 yuan.
The half-sugar version has a range of 408km compared to 301km, with a range increased by 107km, the slow charging power has been upgraded to 6.6kW, and there is an optional 55kW drive motor. power. However, the price of the optional 6.6kW slow charge is 1,000 yuan, which is equivalent to an increase of 7,000 yuan to buy a 10kWh battery, but the configuration also lacks LED decorative lights/turn signals, exterior rearview mirror heating, and mobile phone wireless charging. Is it worth it? not worth! It once again proves that the 408km half-sugar version is not worth buying.
The 301km all-sugar version and the 408km all-sugar version are completely different in terms of configuration.They are exactly the same, the difference is the extra 10kWh battery and 6.6kW slow charging, which is equivalent to an increase of 7,000 yuan to buy a 10kWh battery. Referring to the current market price of lithium batteries, a 1kWh lithium battery costs almost 1,000 yuan, so it is really cost-effective to spend 7,000 yuan to buy a 10kWh lithium battery, and you can also choose a 55kW drive motor for an additional 1,000 yuan.
Believe me, if you test drive the 55kW drive motor version, you will feel that the 1,000 yuan is well spent. Not only the motor power has been increased by 83%, but the peak torque has also been increased by 25%, from 120N·m to 150N·m. The experience brought about is a leaping upgrade. The maximum speed has been increased from 100km/h to 120km/h, covering the country. Climbing and accelerating are also more powerful at all speeds on the road.
So for this car, the two most recommended configurations are the panoramic sunroof and the optional 55kW drive motor. The most recommended versions are It’s the full sugar version.
Editor’s comment: In the field of micro electric vehicles, if you only want to be cheap, Wuling Hongguang MINIEV must be the one, but if you want to pursue quality, you have to go to Little Ant. Because relatively speaking, it is more like a car-grade small electric vehicle, built based on Chery’s @LIFE platform, and none of the necessary features are spared. For example, many mini-cars only have one front wiper, but Ant still insists on using two. In addition, compared with many competing products that are based on the upgraded structural design of elderly scooters, Ant is fully developed forward in compliance with the new car research and development process. , also uses an all-aluminum body frame, which is more guaranteed in terms of quality and safety.
In addition, Little Ant’s confidence in its own quality can also be seen from the warranty. Currently, most competing products at the same level still only provide three years or more. There is a 100,000-kilometer vehicle warranty and an eight-year or 120,000-kilometer battery pack warranty. The first owner of the Little Ant can enjoy a lifetime warranty on the vehicle and three electric vehicles.
