As one of the best electronic product OEMs in China, Foxconn is a company with extremely high popularity. On October 18 last year, Foxconn officially released its pure electric electric vehicle brand Foxtron and brought three new cars, namely Model c, Model E, and Model T. Judging from the naming of the product, this can be said to be directly arguing with Tesla , and many people even regard it as a joke.
After a year, Foxconn recently released the official picture of its first pure electric new car, and named it Model B, which is expected to be officially unveiled on the annual Technology Day on October 18.
From the naming point of view, many people will more or less tie it to Tesla, but it is worthy of praise that the car is still very original in the front face design and looks online. For example, the new car also incorporates many popular design elements in the design, such as the through-type LED daytime running lights, luminous car logos, etc., and the dot matrix LED headlight design on both sides is still quite innovative overall. The side shape of
is mediocre. The side lines of the whole vehicle are actually very similar to Volkswagen ID.3. However, the new car also adopts a more costly hidden door handle design and a very complex rim shape. It is worth mentioning that the car still uses laser rearview mirrors, but considering domestic laws and regulations, there will be some changes in mass-produced cars in the future. The shape of the taillight group of
also echoes the front face and provides specific pattern logos.
However, the information disclosed by the new car is understood to be based on the MIH electric vehicle platform, and the pure electric range is expected to be around 500 kilometers. For such a small car, it can easily meet the needs of commuting and short trips in the city. As for the accurate performance parameters, we still have to wait for the new car to be officially released.
It is worth mentioning that the Model B launched by Foxconn this time is still a bit unexpected. After all, it did not appear at last year's press conference, but it is believed that it is Foxconn's adjustment to the product market when launching such a small car.
After all, the Model C that rashly launches a higher price can be compared with Tesla Model Y. There are many uncertainties for the entire brand to enter the market and require greater R&D costs. Therefore, entering the market with pure electric cars at this time can reduce R&D costs, which can speed up the launch of new cars; secondly, the product price is lower and there are not many competitors in this price range. If enough product strength and affordable price can be given, the probability of opening the market will be higher.
In addition, for the Foxtron brand, in addition to Foxconn, the parent company of Nazhijie , also occupies 49% of the shares. Although the brand has performed relatively average in China, in general, in addition to the slightly poor fuel consumption performance, the overall quality is still quite reasonable. Therefore, with Yulong Automobile's automotive foundation for so many years, I believe that the performance of this Model B should not be too bad.
So, are you looking forward to such a Model B created by Foxconn?
