Configuration analysis of each vehicle type

2022 425km fashion version

The fashion version is the entry-level model of the entire series, and the price is also the lowest, but the configuration is not too shabby. Equipped with LED headlights, automatic headlights, reversing radar, cruise control, automatic parking, keyless entry, multi-function steering wheel, 7-inch full LCD instrument and 10.25-inch central control screen, etc. Only in terms of safety configuration, it is only equipped with basic main/secondary airbags, and the number is small. Therefore, for the configuration of entry-level models, although there are no shortcomings in entertainment configuration, the safety configuration is not very rich, so it is not highly recommended.

2022 model 425km luxury version

The luxury version is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the fashion version, and some comfort features have been significantly improved. At the same time, the number of airbags has been increased and front side airbags are equipped. Relatively speaking, the configuration of this model is sufficient and the price is moderate. If your budget is not particularly sufficient, you may wish to consider this model.

2022 520km flagship version

The price of the flagship version has increased significantly, being 24,000 yuan more expensive than the deluxe version. The most obvious change is the battery life. The lithium iron phosphate battery of the previous two models has been replaced by a ternary lithium battery pack. The battery life reaches 520km, which is the longest range among the entire series. It is also equipped with L2 level driving assistance system, including lane departure warning, lane keeping, active safety system and forward collision warning. It is also equipped with a sports appearance package, which makes it more visually attractive. Front/rear head airbags have also been added to further enhance the safety factor.

Although the configuration of this model has no obvious shortcomings, the price has exceeded 160,000 yuan, and there are many choices for pure electric models at this price, such as Volkswagen ID.3 or some new power brands. In comparison, the advantages are not particularly outstanding.

2022 460km four-wheel drive Triumph version

As the only four-wheel drive version in the entire series, the four-wheel drive Triumph Edition has obvious performance advantages. You must know that a model that can break 100km/h in 3.8 seconds within 200,000 yuan is already in the supercar category. It is also equipped with exclusive 18-inch tires, a non-openable panoramic sunroof, Alcantara seats and an exclusive retro red/white interior color.You can enjoy more driving fun, suitable for friends who like to pursue dynamic performance. However, considering that most of the people who buy pure electric vehicles prefer home use, there are relatively few young people who pay purely for power performance, and many configurations are not practical. Therefore, from the perspective of practicality, this car is destined to be suitable for a relatively small range of people.

Editor’s comment: Taken together, it is not difficult to make a judgment based on the budget. If you want to try something new, you can consider the deluxe version. Compared with the fashion version, it makes up for the lack of safety configuration and the price is acceptable. The flagship model has the most balanced configuration performance, and its battery life is nearly 100km longer than the luxury version, which is very suitable for friends with range anxiety. Finally, there is the four-wheel drive Triumph version. This version adds a four-wheel drive system, has exclusive seats, interior color matching, 18-inch tires and many other advanced configurations, and can also experience the essence of MULAN. If you have enough budget, you can choose the top version in one step.
