Chery Ant, a pure electric mini car, has been selling really well in the past period. It occupies two spots in the TOP4 together with QQ Ice Cream of the same category, making Chery commuter car popular again. In fact, there are many commuter car options on the market today, and the reason why Little Ant stands out is that, firstly, its design is unconventional and personalized enough, and secondly, its on-board configurations are really generous. These three, it is it. The battery life is sufficient.
In terms of appearance design, the little ant fits its name. The closed front face still has multiple pore-like structures, and a semi-encircled three-dimensional structure connects the diversion holes at both ends, much like the jaws of an ant . The two-color spray painting of the entire vehicle creates a tight muscular feel on many lines and edge structures, which also makes it resemble the body structure of an ant, giving it a visual personality.
In terms of interior design, Little Ant adopts contrasting color decoration, including the painted trim panel of the passenger's front gear, the leather of the steering wheel, the cup holder of the gearshift mechanism, etc., all use contrasting colors. At the same time, the 10.0-inch large screen placed vertically in the center will be connected to the air conditioning control and a small number of auxiliary driving function buttons. Most vehicle functions can be adjusted in the same area. In areas such as the passenger lower fender, the Ant has some hollow designs to optimize storage capacity.
In terms of size and space, the 3200/1670/1550mm (some models have a height of 1590mm) Ant is relatively large in the mini car, and its 2150mm wheelbase brings a three-door and four-seater layout. Objectively speaking, The static support and comfort of the leather seats are good, but the back seat area is still emergency-oriented for most people and is not suitable for long-term riding.
In terms of vehicle configuration, the 10.0-inch touch screen is standard for all series, and it supports CarLife mobile phone interconnection and reversing imaging from the beginning. On the high-end models, it will get an intelligent network connection system, thus gaining real-time navigation, remote car-linked car control, OTA online upgrade and other functions; in addition, its voice can cover the air-conditioning system, shouting " After "Little Ant", the voice system will be awakened, multimedia switching, air conditioning on and off, wind speed and temperature adjustment, etc. will be very fast. In addition, if you want to charge, you can place your mobile phone on the wireless charging pad in front of the shift mechanism. Such an intelligent experience is indeed worthy of praise for a car of this level.
For the power system, Chery provides Little Ant with two specifications of electric motors and two sets of battery packs with different capacities. Among them, high-end models will get a rear-mounted electric motor with a parameter of 55kW/150N·m, and a capacity of 55kW/150N·m. The 40.6kWh ternary lithium battery pack has an NEDC pure electric range of 408km; while the low- and mid-range models will have a 30kW/120N·m rear electric motor and a ternary lithium or lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 30.6kWh. group matching, and get a NEDC pure electric range of 301km.
In fact, it is not difficult to see from the battery pack of the vehicle that the Little Ant is not a vehicle that needs to worry about charging problems. The cruising range of 301km or 408km can be used for urban commuting for one week or even more than half a month. The frequency of single charging is also no problem. Moreover, Little Ant also provides three charging methods: 220V household AC , 220V AC charging pile, and 380V DC fast charging. You can charge it by connecting a 4-meter-long charging cable to a 14A socket at home or in the basement; while for commercial use Quick charging can get 80% of the battery in half an hour, and charging is very convenient.
Finally, regarding the cost of Chery Ant, even based on the frequency of inspection once every 5,000km for pure electric vehicles, unless it involves oil replacement, the cost of each routine inspection and maintenance is only about 260 yuan, and even if it includes gearbox oil , brake oil and coolant are only about 230 yuan more, and this is usually only involved once in 60,000km of maintenance. In other words, the total maintenance cost of 60,000km is calculated based on 5,000km/time, 6 Approximately 3,350 yuan per year.The three-year insurance cost is calculated based on the first year, 20% off in the second year, and 30% off in the third year. Taking 4,000 yuan/first year as the standard, the total cost of the three-year insurance is about 10,000 yuan.
In terms of energy consumption costs, we calculated the total energy consumption costs in a single year by taking the middle approximate value of the electricity price for residents in major domestic cities (0.5 yuan/kWh), the average power consumption of car owners of 10.5kWh/100km, and the total mileage in a single year of 20,000km. At about 1,050 yuan, this cost is indeed relatively low, not to mention that few pure electric mini-cars can run such a mileage in a single year. Calculated together, the annual comprehensive car cost of a Little Ant is about 4,961.66 yuan. The monthly expenditure of 412 yuan is actually the cost of taking the subway. This is indeed worth recommending to office workers.
