In today's car market, mini models are very popular, and various mini models can be seen everywhere. The compact Wuling Hongguang MINI EV continues to sell well and has been the best-selling car in the auto market for many consecutive months. Wuling Hongguang MINI EV's overwhelming sales have ushered in many challengers.
In addition to challengers such as Chery QQ Ice Cream and Changan LUMIN, another traditional independent manufacturer Geely has finally brought another player called mini. Recently, Geely announced the configuration information of the Panda Mini. The new car is expected to be launched in the first half of 2023.
is not like the Panda mini
Geely Panda mini. When hearing this name, people can't help but think of Geely's once " bionics design" car Geely Panda . The cute appearance that resembles the national treasure has also won the Geely Panda many fans. It can bring back many people's memories, which may be why Geely named the new car Geely Panda Mini.
In terms of appearance, Panda Mini no longer has the "bionic" shape of the Geely Panda, and is similar to the shape of Wuling Hongguang MINI EV and Chery QQ ice cream. The front closed grille is connected to the circular light groups on both sides, and two sizes of wheels, 13/14 inches, are available. At the same time, the GEOME (Geometry) letter logo also seems to indicate that this car will be sold under the Geometry brand.
Panda mini is also equipped with a 9.2-inch full LCD instrument + 8-inch floating central control screen. It is equipped with a mobile phone interconnection system and supports functions such as Bluetooth phone, AutoNavi navigation, intercom, remote car search, remote unlocking and turning on air conditioning. The new car supports two driving modes: Sport/Normal, and comes standard with intelligent driving assistance functions such as EPS electronic power steering , ABS and EBD.
Panda mini is equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motor model TZ160X30C or TZ155X030, with a maximum power of 30kW. The new car supports 7kW household charging piles for energy replenishment, with a charging time of 3 hours; a 220V/10A household charging gun can also be used, with a charging power of 2kW and a charging time of 8.5 hours.
Here comes the key point. Panda mini supports 22kW DC fast charging function. It only takes half an hour to charge the battery from 30% to 80%, and the working life is 200km. The longer battery life allows Panda Mini to adapt to more scenarios. Compared with competing products that often take seven or eight hours to charge, Panda Mini's DC fast charging has solved the problem of whether or not it has to be charged.
The "authentic" pure electric MINI is here
Speaking of mini models, we have to mention the MINI brand of BMW , which is also the well-known MINI car. However, compared to , Wuling and Geely’s pure electric mini cars, the model named MINI is actually larger.
MINI, which has always appeared as a fuel vehicle, will now also bring its pure electric brand. At the same time, this is also the first localization of MINI, and also corresponds to the previously rumored move of MINI production capacity from the UK to China. In fact, this is also a product launched by Beam Auto, a joint venture between BMW and Great Wall Motors.
An internal test drive registration form of Beam Car circulated on the Internet shows that the Beam Project Department will conduct a KNT test of the BMW MINI three-door model, and the first KNT vehicle will roll off the assembly line on December 21.
As can be seen from the leaked photos, in terms of appearance, the pure electric MINI still retains the classic round headlights and oval front grille, but adopts the closed front grille design popular on electric cars. In terms of the interior, you can also see many familiar elements. The large-sized floating circular central control screen, paired with a HUD head-up display, give the overall atmosphere a sense of technology. In terms of
power, the official has not disclosed relevant information. The current overseas version has a cruising range of 300-400km, and it is expected that domestically produced models will increase. Otherwise, judging from the overall level of China's pure electric vehicle market today, models with a range of less than 400km will basically not be sold for more than 100,000.
Compared with Geely's mini which has the highlight of fast charging, this MINI has not seen many highlights yet. If you want to break out in China's new energy vehicle market where many heroes are gathered, it is not enough to have classic feelings. Of course, we also look forward to the pure electric MINI giving us more surprises after it is officially mass-produced in the future.
