The new energy vehicle world is getting more and more exciting.
Domestic car companies are launching new cars one after another. The speed of product layout and research and development cycle are surpassing previous fuel vehicles at a speed visible to the naked eye. The competition in the car industry is exciting because new products are iterated quickly, with rich forms, technology upgrades are fast, and the model layout is richer than that of traditional car companies.
At large-scale international auto shows, everyone’s attention is almost directed towards domestic new energy vehicles. It’s not that traditional car companies are “not making efforts”, it’s just that in Xiaotong’s view, traditional Car companies are relatively conservative in their model iterations. The extent of changes and upgrades has its own pace. Cutting-edge technologies are not available all at once, so there is a lack of highlights.
Geely is undoubtedly the "conspicuous package" of the new energy vehicle industry in 2023. It has exceeded the sales target set at the beginning of the year (1.65 million vehicles), with full-year sales in 2023 of 1,686,516 vehicles. , exceeding the target by 18%.
Geely’s delivery target next year is set at 1.9 million vehicles, which means that they must not only maintain their advantage in the industry, but also pay attention to the vacancies in various price segments.
As a luxury player in the field of new energy vehicles, Jikrypton Automobile’s product concept has always been unique. It started with Jikrypton 001. It has driven the hunting coupe market and made a significant contribution. In addition, both Jikrypton X and Jikrypton 009 have unique product strengths in their respective price ranges, forming unique competitive advantages.
But for a car brand, Jikrypton’s product lineup is still relatively thin, and it lacks models for mainstream consumer groups. Taking into account product gap replenishment and sales boost, the new car layout is already a certainty.
Xiaotong has mentioned in previous reports that Jikrypton is accelerating the progress of new models internally, and spy photos of road test vehicles have recently been exposed.
The first "serious" SUV is exposed, it is both luxurious and mainstream
##Thanks to the great sales of Ji Krypton 007, Ji Krypton This brand is attracting more and more attention, and new cars are what everyone is eagerly looking forward to. The new car is codenamed "CX1E" and has not yet been officially named.
Judging from the spy photos of road test cars published online, Jikrypton’s new model is an SUV, which is also Jikrypton’s first model. A "serious" SUV model. Although Jikrypton X can also be considered an SUV, in the price range of 200,000 yuan, Jikrypton X's product definition is relatively niche, and it may not be considered an orthodox SUV strictly speaking.
Ji Krypton did not overly strengthen its sports attributes. The rear of the CX1E adopts a more traditional design, which avoids the Coupe SUV's large fastback shape from oppressing the space of the rear row members.
However, the sporty stance of CX1E still exists, perhaps because it has inherited some genes from Krypton 007.
Blogger @Sugar Design made a series of imaginary pictures of CX1E. The outline of the renderings basically matches the camouflaged road test car, and has the latest family-style design of Ji Krypton 007. Therefore, the outside world generally believes that CX1E is the SUV version of Jikrypton 007.
#And some breaking news also supported this speculation. It is reported that CX1E and Ji Krypton 007 are the same platform models, and the final product configuration and The version distinction may also be in line with Ji Krypton 007. For example, the entire series is equipped with 800V as standard, and the starting point of low-end models should be relatively high.
The spy photos of the interior also confirm the identity of Jikrypton’s new car. In addition to the steering wheel of Jikrypton, the CX1E is also equipped with an instrument screen that is similar to Jikrypton 007. It adopts the same large deflectable central control screen design as the latter. If nothing else, the powerful HUD system on Jikrypton 007 can also be experienced on the CX1E.
Jikrypton 007 is still a crystallization of Jikrypton’s intelligent assisted driving technology, as well as a series of new features about this car, Xiaotong I think it will all appear on CX1E.
From the perspective of a luxury brand, Jikrypton’s models generally follow the personalized high-end route, but the most mainstream sedan and SUV products in the automobile market still have to be taken into consideration. This is what Jikrypton Automobile proposes. The only way to boost sales. Although Jikrypton 007 is successful, it has also brought Jikrypton's car-making level to a whole new level. Domestic users are also very vocal about SUVs. They may like 007 very much, but they just need an SUV version of "007".
The popularity of SUVs is obvious to all, and car companies are all trying to grab a piece of the SUV market. The configuration of CX1E is not bad. On the contrary, it can satisfy those consumer groups who like 007 and want an SUV. It covers more needs, which is a key to Ji Krypton's high sales volume.
As for the internal naming plan, Xiaotong feels that there are not many numbers left for Ji Krypton "00X".
Of course, the road test vehicles exposed this time are not all. There is also a large pure electric SUV in Jikrypton that is similar to the Lynk & Co 09, and it may be produced from the Lynk & Co 09 production line. on production. Soon, we will be able to see the relevant test models.
"Space on Wheels" has added another member, is the extremely krypton "bus" coming?
The debut of the Jikrypton M-Vision concept car showed the outside world the strength of the Jikrypton version of "Space on Wheels".
As the mass-produced version of M-Vision, CM2E is also Jikrypton’s second MPV, and its meaning may be even more special. The positioning of CM2E is expected to be lower than that of Ji Krypton 009. Although both are pure electric MPVs, the former will most likely not have much overlap with 009 in terms of use scenarios and travel needs.
The CM2E’s road test spy photos came earlier than the CX1E, and some of the road test vehicles even revealed the details of the sheet metal parts and front face.
Obviously, the front face and tail of CM2E also adopt the design features of Jikrypton 007, which is undoubtedly the original design language of Jikrypton Motors in the next few years. The new car has shorter front and rear overhangs, which will have certain advantages in cornering flexibility. According to the concept car M-Vision, CM2E will use some more advanced designs, such as no B-pillars, and the body is more like a "box", which will facilitate the creation of internal space.
The side sliding door of the whole vehicle is an eye-catching design. Considering the usage scenario, the side sliding door does not take up too much space for opening the door. Even in narrow parking spaces, passengers can get in and out of the car gracefully. Of course, side sliding doors mean that all CM2E doors are driven by electric mechanisms to open and close.
Such a design is hard not to remind people of minivans and some square box-shaped "wheel spaces". The size of CM2E may be more compact, and the absence of B-pillars can create a more integrated space. It feels more like a model for public travel.
After all, Geely also owns LEVC, which focuses on public travel, and most of its products are aimed at high-end business travel. Although ordinary consumers also have the opportunity to buy them, these models are always designed for public travel and may not necessarily meet mainstream needs. The internal design of CM2E has not yet been announced. The design will probably maintain the layout of a conventional model, and will not cancel the most basic driving part for autonomous driving.
It is not a bad thing to have more special MPVs such as CM2E on the market. Large space is not only provided by traditional SUVs and MPVs. This is a more forward-looking concept. The new energy micro-side cannot be ruled out as a track for future car companies to become involved.
But it is also possible that CM2E is a "ticket" for JiKrypton Automobile to enter the public travel track.
The more you play, the more you spend, Jikrypton is defining "high-end personality"
##Jikrypton 001 defines the new personality of high-end new energy, luxury The hunting coupe meets consumers' various needs for appearance, control and space, and opens up the track for new energy hunting coupes.
Putting aside mainstream models like the CX1E, this is just a move by Jikrypton to lay out the mainstream market, maintain its own advantages, and fill product gaps. Xiaotong believes that it is a product that increases sales. Jikrypton 007 is a new starting point for Jikrypton Motors. It is completely separated from Lynk & Co's design language and forms its own style, laying the foundation for family-style design for subsequent models.
#But the more surprising thing is CM2E’s courage to open up new categories. In the “no man’s land”, Ji Krypton has more opportunities to create With the first-mover advantage, CM2E can also become famous in one go and become the pioneer product of new energy luxury "micro-surface".
The success of CM2E still needs to be determined based on market demand and actual selling price. At least it is more user-friendly than Jikrypton 009, and may perform better not only for public travel, but also for home use.
It can also be seen that the layout speed of Ji Krypton is accelerating, and the scalability advantage of the electrified architecture is being demonstrated. Developing various models based on a platform architecture can significantly shorten the research and development cycle, help car companies quickly deploy products, and reduce corresponding costs.
Ji Krypton has always been a brand with its own ideas. It does not completely follow the trend, but tries every means to find new answers to the industry, which may be capabilities that other car companies may not necessarily have.
The above is the detailed content of Jikrypton's new car attracts attention again, and the new design becomes more and more attractive. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
