Driven by new energy, the small car market is now beginning to regain its vitality. Many people choose to buy pure electric small cars as the second car of their families for traveling, picking up children, and commuting to and from get off work.BYD and Wuling, two brands that have captured this market demand, have also gained a lot of sales in this market.
How big is the market demand?For example ,the cumulative sales of BYDDolphin in 2023 willreach360,000, the total sales of Seagull, which has been on the market for 9 months, will reach 280,000 units, and thecumulativesales ofWuling Bingoin 2023 will be 230,000 units.This is the demand of this market, and the reason why the demand is strong is that pure electric small cars meet the characteristics of low price, extremely low maintenance cost, small car, easy to drive and park.Recently, a new player has been welcomed into this market. Let’s take a look.
This new player is the newly launchedNano 01(Configuration| Inquiry). Nano 01 is the first model of the Dongfeng Nano brand. Dongfeng Nano is a brand specially created by Dongfeng Group for the national pure electric market, so it is making this kind of model. I believe that national cars are very professional, so the Nano 01 is worth looking forward to.
The official price of Nano 01 is 74,800 to 104,800 yuan. This price is right between BYD Dolphin and Wuling Bingo. The price is very particular, whether you are looking at Wuling Bingo or BYD Dolphin. Nano 01 will appear as an alternative.Of course, smart pricing is one of them. Whether consumers can place orders depends on the product.
Let’s take a look at the product. In terms of appearance, Nano 01 is the same as Dolphin and Bingo in that it is on the cute route. However, Nano 01 is more rounded. The split headlights are paired with a colorful dual-color body, and the visual effect is great. It looks very fashionable and trendy.In terms of appearance, I think Nano 01 is not inferior to the other two cars, each with its own characteristics.
In addition to the design, Nano 01 also has a very bright feature in appearance, which is the frameless door. Generally speaking, frameless doors are only equipped on models of at least 200,000 yuan. Appearing at the level of small cars, it is still first.The significant benefit brought by frameless doors is that it improves the temperament and appearance of the vehicle. I believe this is very attractive to consumers, and it is also standard for all series.
In terms of space, the body length, width and height of Nano 01 are 4030*1810*1570mm, and the wheelbase is 2660mm, which is also between that of Dolphin Haobinguo.From actual experience, although the size is not large, there is still no problem with the seating space. The rear seat is just right for three people. Of course, it is the most spacious for two people. The seat cushions are also relatively soft. However, we found during the experience that the rear seat is The seat belt buckle of the middle seat is a bit harsh on the buttocks. It would be nice if it could be improved in the future.
For the interior, Nano 01 adopts an off-white color scheme, and when paired with a large central control screen, it looks simple and elegant. The most rare thing is that as you can see from the pictures, Nano 01 has not shrunk in materials because of its cheap price.Its center console and door panels are covered with diamond-patterned leather, and a luggage buckle is designed in front of the co-pilot, including the window buttons, which are also lever-type, making the entire interior look exquisite and not cheap. I wonder what you think of this interior?
In terms of configuration, Nano 01 is not ambiguous, with panoramic images, L2-level driving assistance, keyless entry and start, large central control screen, wireless mobile phone charging, seat heating, etc.Basic daily use needs can be met.
In terms of power and battery life, Nano 01 offers two versions: 330km battery life and 430km battery life. The battery supplier is Sunwanda’s lithium iron phosphate battery.In terms of power, it is equipped with a front-mounted motor with a maximum horsepower of 95 horsepower and a maximum torque of 160 Nm. The author has also test-drove the Nano 01 before. Although the horsepower is not large, it is basically capable of daily urban driving.
Summary: As a latecomer in this market, Nano 01 still shows some advantages of latecomers in terms of products, such as frameless doors, excellent interior materials and rich configurations. These are the places where it attracts consumers and also gives It gives you a new choice, and as consumers, will you be willing to choose it?
