A few days ago, the pure electric SUV under iCAR Automobile launched four new configuration models, including three Yuechao versions and one Zhichao version. The official guide price range is 129.8-149.8 million yuan. At the same time, the government has introduced preferential measures, and the car purchase can be as low as 10,000 yuan to increase the purchase subsidy.
In terms of appearance, iCAR 03 Yuechao Edition and Zhichao Edition continue to use the brand’s iconic "square box" design language, with a large number of straight lines and shapes. The overall style is simple and fashionable, full of futuristic science and technology. The front face is equipped with a closed grille and L-shaped headlights, and the vertical light groups on both sides are also designed with geometric patterns of light strips, which improves the recognition.
As a compact SUV, the length, width and height of iCAR 03 Yuechao version and Zhichao version are 4406/1910/1715mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2715mm, so the interior space is relatively spacious. In addition, the minimum ground clearance of the new car is 170mm, the approach angle and departure angles are 26 and 29 respectively, and the maximum climbing degree reaches 55, so it has good off-road quality.
It is worth mentioning that iCAR 03 adopts all-aluminum multi-cavity cage body, and its torsional stiffness reaches 31,812 nm/deg, which is ahead of its peers. In addition, in view of the battery safety that new energy users are most concerned about, iCAR 03 adopts high-quality batteries from big factories, and the sandwich battery pack can withstand 2.2 tons of extrusion without deformation, which is more secure.
In the interior part, the new car is consistent with the old model, and a large number of straight lines and curved surfaces bring very tough visual effects, adding an off-road atmosphere. In terms of configuration, iCAR 03 Yuechao Edition has added side air curtain, co-driver’s electric seat, front seat heating, steering wheel heating, main driver’s seat memory, leg rest and other configurations to make driving more comfortable.
ICAR 03 Zhichao Edition has added intelligent configurations such as 8155 chip, full LCD instrument, L2 intelligent driving assistance, driving recorder, etc. The car system is smooth and not stuck, and it is also equipped with 16 intelligent driving assistance functions such as active safety protection and driving recorder, which brings better convenience and safety.
In terms of power, iCAR 03 Yuechao Edition and Zhichao Edition provide single motor rear drive and two kinds of power. Among them, the single motor version has a maximum power of 135kW, a maximum torque of 220Nm, and a CLTC cruising range of 401km and 501km； respectively. The version is equipped with the only iWD intelligent electronic control four-wheel drive system at the same level, which can realize intelligent switching between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The maximum power is 205kW, the peak torque is 385Nm, the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is 6.5 seconds, and the CLTC cruising range is 472km.
Comments: After the new energy vehicles are becoming more and more abundant, car companies have begun to expand to individuality. iCAR 03 is an excellent example, with a square box body with a square storage box at the rear, which is full of off-road temperament. The new car on the market this time provides more abundant configurations and meets different needs and preferences of consumers. As a fashionable car full of fun, I believe it will have a good market performance.
