When we read martial arts novels, we all understand one truth: if you become a peerless master or the leader of the martial arts world, you will attract many challenges. In the electric vehicle industry, Tesla is one of the most benchmarked brands.
Recently, Changan released a piece of information about the new C385 car, which looks more like Tesla Model 3, BYD Seal and other models in terms of positioning.
Moreover, this car is very interesting. It combines a variety of martial arts and is one of the few new energy vehicles on the market with multiple power systems.
Previous new energy vehicles were either pure electric or plug-in hybrid. C385 also launched a hydrogen-electric version, which is also the first mass-produced hydrogen fuel cell sedan in China, with a range of 700 kilometers. It can achieve super fast replenishment in 3 minutes.
sounds very attractive, but here is a question: hydrogen fuel cells have not been mass-produced on a large scale at this stage. Will the C385 hydrogen electric version be expensive? You should know that the optional hydrogen fuel cell package of NIO ET5 costs tens of thousands of yuan.
C385 has one feature, which is its ultra-low energy consumption. Let's look at a set of data:
pure electric battery life version C385 is equipped with a 78kWh battery pack and a range of 712 kilometers. You should know that BYD Seal, which has a similar size, is equipped with an 82.56kWh battery pack and a nominal range of only 700 kilometers.
Even if it is the Tesla Model 3 four-wheel drive version, it is equipped with a 78.2kWh battery, and the CLTC pure electric range is only 675 kilometers. From this point of view, Changan C385 does use some black technologies, which greatly improves its efficiency.
extended-range version sold for 152,800 yuan?
is quite interesting about the price. Recently, a group of C385 prices appeared online, including the extended-range version, pure electric version and hydrogen-electric version. It is said that the extended-range version is priced at 152,800 yuan, and the comprehensive mileage reaches 1,200 kilometers.
In fact, just seeing the price of the hydrogen-electric version, you will know that the price information is fake. You won’t think that the hydrogen-electric version is sold for 239,800 yuan, and the R&D cost is not enough.
Then Changan relevant personnel said that the official has not released any price news for C385. A more reliable information is the Changan Deep Blue C385 single motor version, with a motor power of 190kw and a price of around 250,000 yuan.
According to the current market for electric vehicles, the starting price of Tesla Model 3 is close to 300,000 yuan. According to the positioning of C385, I believe it will start at around 200,000 yuan. How competitive is
?
Changan C385 is positioned the same as Tesla Model 3, while models such as BYD's Seal and Xiaopeng P7 will be competitors. The latecomer may be the biggest advantage of Changan C385, but it will also be a disadvantage because it is later launched.
It is reported that Changan C385 will be released in a brand new channel. The most important thing is that the hydrogen-electric version provided is more forward-looking. Moreover, it seems to have learned a lot of experience in the narrow market of the car model and launched a variety of things such as extended-range models, pure electric, etc., which greatly increased its coverage.
everything is ready, just one lethal price is short. Referring to the range of 200,000-400,000 yuan for models such as Model 3 and Xiaopeng P7, I believe that the C385 is priced reasonably and there is no need to worry about selling it.
