It’s the end of the year again, and winter has always been a quiet season, let alone December, the coldest month. However, these car manufacturers are unwilling to be left alone and have brought their new cars to everyone at the end of the year, hoping to bring a little excitement to everyone in the cold winter.

Today, the professor will take stock of several new energy vehicles that will be launched/released in December. Each of them is interesting, so don’t miss it~

December 2019 On the 28th, NIO held its annual "NIO DAY" at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center, during which NIO released a new 100kWh capacity battery pack and a new 20kW home DC charging pile, and of course the finale. The new model EC6 and the new ES8.

Long before the press conference, the preview of NIO’s third model left us with deep suspense. Finally, it lived up to expectations on NIO DAY and launched the popular fastback SUV model.

If the previous models ES6 and ES8 are more in line with the aesthetics of most people nowadays, then the emergence of EC6 makes up for the shortcomings of NIO’s product matrix in terms of personalized models.

Although the front and rear parts of the EC6 continue the general design style of the ES6, the large-area fastback lines "inject" soul into it. While it has a more feminine design, it also has the same characteristics as the entire car series. The lowest drag coefficient is only 0.27cd. At the same time, the large-area integrated dome glass roof design not only brings an excellent visual experience, but also brings a sufficient sense of openness to the passengers in the car, fully complementing the sense of interior space originally sacrificed by the fastback shape. .

In terms of core hardware, the new car continues to provide two versions: sports version and performance version for consumers to choose from. The sports version is equipped with dual motors with a power of 160kW at the front and rear, while the performance version is equipped with a 240kW motor on the rear axle with an even higher power, allowing the two to accelerate to 100 kilometers in 5.6 seconds respectively. and an excellent result of 4.7s.

As for the cruising range that users are most concerned about, the new car can be equipped with the original 70kWh and the newly launched 100kWh liquid-cooled constant temperature battery pack. The large-capacity battery pack also allows the new car’s cruising range to exceed the 600km mark. , among which the performance version reached a good result of 615km. At the same time, the latest large-capacity battery pack will also be upgraded and used on ES6 and ES8.

But it is a pity that at the press conference, Li Bin did not announce the pre-sale price of the new car. It is believed that he will make corresponding price adjustments for the future direct rival-Model Y. The price and configuration of the new car are expected to be announced in July this year, and delivery will be completed in September.

In addition, Weilai also released the new ES8 on NIO Day. The new car will bring more than 180 updates, covering appearance, interior, configuration, power and cruising range. dimensions. But according to the professor's summary, there are two main updates to the new ES8:

First, the addition of a 100kWh battery pack has made up for the shortcomings in battery life that have been criticized by consumers in the past to a considerable extent. Equipped with a 100kWh battery pack and equipped with a 160kW permanent magnet + 240kW induction motor intelligent four-wheel drive system, the new ES8 has a cruising range of 580km, ranking among the top domestic pure electric vehicles in terms of cruising range.

2. Multiple upgrades of internal and external details. In terms of appearance, the new ES8 adds the 2020 NIO color of the year "Antarctic Blue" and uses a more aggressive "X-BAR" design on the front face. In terms of interior, the new ES8 has added optional Microfiber super fiber velvet ceiling and high-grade Nappa leather. In terms of comfort, the "Queen's Passenger" has added a fully automatic footrest function, making the Queen's Passenger truly worthy of its name.

Secondly, in terms of the car system, the new ES8 has also upgraded the original 8.8-inch full LCD instrument panel and 10.4-inch central control screen to 9.8-inch + 11.3-inch luxury specifications. At the same time, NOMI? Mate has also been upgraded to version 2.0 and is equipped with an AMOLED round screen, with a larger display area and richer functions. In addition, the addition of a lighter NFC card-based car key also brings a different starting experience.

Finally, let’s return to the selling price and configuration.

The new car still offers 6-seat and 7-seat versions. The new car’s pre-subsidy price range is 468,000 yuan to 624,000 yuan, while the signature version’s pre-subsidy price range is 558,000 yuan to 624,000 yuan. The new ES8 will be available for pre-order on December 28, 2019, and will be officially delivered in April 2020.

In addition to the success of its NIO DAY, Hechuang HYCAN, founded by NIO and GAC New Energy, also recently launched its first model - HYCAN 007.

Unlike most new car-making forces, GAC New Energy Group is responsible for the R&D and production of HYCAN? 007, while NIO is only responsible for providing intelligent network technology and energy support systems.

I believe students who are familiar with the new energy field will find that many shadows from the models of the two parent companies can be found in the new cars. For example, the suspended roof design is similar to that of the Aion? LX and the front and rear light groups with clear corners from the ES car series.

However, after the integration and innovation of Hechuang Company, it was rearranged in the new car and has its own set of design language. The "7"-shaped LED daytime running lights on the front of the car extend to the fog light area below to further lower the vehicle's visual center of gravity, and are decorated with silver trim on the side to create a more fashionable shape, more like a coupe-type SUV.

At the interior level, HYCAN?007 also continues many designs from the two parent models. The large "7"-shaped central control screen complements the large area of ??piano paint on the armrests, creating a strong sense of high-end while being full of technology.

In addition, the new car is also equipped with an intelligent vehicle-mounted robot similar to Weilai Nomi, but its name is small CAN. Through it, voice control of air conditioning, music, navigation, etc. can be realized. To a certain extent, it can solve the difficulty of blind operation while driving due to the cancellation of physical buttons such as air conditioning.

In the mechanical hard-core part, HYCAN?007 built on the GAC New Energy GEP2.0 platform is equipped with a battery pack provided by CATL, with an energy density of 180Wh/kg and a maximum capacity of 93kWh. At NEDC Under test standards, the comprehensive cruising range can reach 643km. As for the power parameters of HYCAN?007, the official has not disclosed it yet.

In terms of price, the pre-sale price range of HYCAN? 007 is 260,000 yuan to 400,000 yuan, which is between Aion? LX and ES6. Although it is not in the market where new energy vehicles are everywhere today It cannot achieve an absolute advantage in terms of price, but thanks to its combination of the hardware of traditional manufacturer GAC New Energy and the software and service advantages of new car-making force NIO, it has a starting point far beyond the conventional new car-making force. This is other It is incomparable to new car-making forces. But in this way, it seems that its advantages are not so prominent. So does HYCAN?007 have other reasons to convince consumers? Let’s wait and see with our eyes open!

On December 25, the rear-wheel-drive long-life version of the Xpeng P7 was officially released and pre-sale started, with the pre-sale price starting from 240,000 yuan. In addition to the high-performance four-wheel drive version and rear-wheel drive ultra-long-range version previously released at the Guangzhou Auto Show, Xpeng P7*** offers 3 models and 8 versions, and the pre-sale price range has also changed to 240,000 yuan to 370,000 yuan.

Compared with the previously released rear-drive ultra-long-range version, the rear-drive long-range version that is available for pre-sale this time has not changed in terms of power data. It still uses a maximum power of 196kW and a peak torque of 390N. ·M's rear-axle single-motor layout, thanks to the motor's powerful instant torque output, allows the P7 to accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in just 6.7 seconds. However, due to battery capacity, this version has a shorter cruising range than the ultra-long-range version. Nearly 100km, 55km.

In addition, in terms of configuration, the new car offers three configurations. Except for the extra comfort configuration, autonomous driving capabilities, audio system and smart music cockpit package of the mid-to-high configuration, there is no difference in the rest.

Compared with the four-wheel drive high-performance version and the ultra-long-range version, the rear-drive long-range version further lowers its entry threshold due to its affordable price. Judging only from the price, battery life and body size, the Xpeng P7 seems to have quietly opened up a market segment with almost no rivals.

Similarly, the larger body size and similar cruising range will also have an impact on the market leader Model 3 to a large extent. How the market performance will be depends on the detailed price announcement before a conclusion can be made.

The AIWAYS U5 was officially launched on December 19, priced at RMB 197,900-292,100 after subsidies. As a new force in new energy vehicle manufacturing that has been building momentum for a long time, AIWAYS has finally handed over their work to users.

The new car adopts the design concept of smart and simple aesthetics. Unlike most new car-making forces on the market, its appearance is slightly conservative, except for the highly recognizable "U"-shaped light group design on the front face. , closed air intake grille and hidden door handles, the rest adopts a design style similar to that of a traditional SUV.

In terms of interior, the new car still continues the minimalist design style. There are only a handful of physical buttons in the whole car, and various adjustments are basically integrated on the central control screen. But on the instrument panel, we can see a distinctive 4.2+7+4.2-inch wrap-around instrument panel, but it does not seem so good-looking due to the large black borders.

However, contrary to the minimalist design style, the configuration of U5 is not simple at all. It has body stability control system, driver fatigue detection, tire pressure monitoring, 360-degree surround image, audio and video control system, etc. Of course, the most outstanding thing is that it has up to 6 optional spaces. Car owners can choose business tables, storage racks, air purifiers and other personalized devices according to their needs.

In terms of the hard-core configuration that everyone is most concerned about, the AIWAYS U5 is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 140kW and a maximum torque of 315N·m. It is divided into 403km/503km and external according to the battery capacity. The battery has a cruising range of 623km.

The above are the blockbuster pure electric models released in December 2019. I wonder if any of you viewers have taken a fancy to them? See you in the comments section!
