Chapter 222 Final Price

Polestar A (A pole car) is equivalent to the skinned version of Polestar X, because driven by Haicheng, more and more taxi companies in first- and second-tier cities have chosen to replace their company's operating vehicles with Polestar X .

Even consumers who are not in first- and second-tier cities often watch some TV series and movies, in which the image of Polestar X is also a taxi, which creates a situation where people want to buy but don’t want to buy the same model.

The appearance of Polestar A has given consumers a new choice, and its price has not changed at all compared with Polestar X. The 410 battery life version is 9.58 yuan.

Of course, if you feel unsatisfied with the battery life and configuration, you can also add 1.4 yuan to increase the battery life to 520km (50kWh battery), and add some comfort configurations, such as electric seats, large central control screen...

The price in the early 10s is still affordable.

However, the appearance design of Polestar A is still a bit mediocre compared with Xinghan Zhixing's car. It will be very cost-effective in the future.

What Yang Zhirong would not say is that the battery used by Polestar Motors and the car used by Xinghan Zhixing do not belong to the same generation of products. Stardust New Energy will have a major update every two years, and the old version of the battery is in stock. It must be handed over to several models of Polestar Motors.

Another part of the factor is that Polestar Motors wants to become a "domestic big brand" and has given up a large part of its profits. It is going to force its sales up first.

Anyway, with Xingchen Technology standing behind him, Yang Zhirong didn’t panic at all, and the second car of Polestar Automobile, Polestar S (compact SUV), was just unveiled at the auto show, and the price was 1 yuan more expensive.

The low-end version 410 has a battery life of 10.58 yuan, and the high-end version 520 has a battery life of 11.98 yuan. Because of the heavy weight of the car, in some extreme battery life tests, the battery life of Polestar S is likely to be less than 500 kilometers.

But this is an extreme test after all. In many cases, it will not run 120 kilometers continuously at a speed exceeding 500km/h. As for the motor, the power level of Polestar S is equivalent to that of a 1.5T engine.

The advantage is that the acceleration of the tram is very smooth.

The torque burst in the front section is very strong.

The disadvantage is that the rear acceleration force is average...

Yang Zhirong didn't bother too much. After a brief introduction, he announced the price directly on the spot. Many consumers who came to test drive cheered immediately, and the driving school students who were practicing in another field couldn't help but stop and watch. Want to go in for a test drive.

How many people who come to test their driver's license don't want to have a car?
Can it be worse than a coach car?

Moreover, the reputation of Polestar Motors is relatively large in China. The SUV model has attracted the attention of countless people as soon as it debuted at the auto show. Who doesn't like it that is big and can run?And it looks more atmospheric than a car.

The pricing of Polestar Motors is also sincere enough. Looking at the test drive venue, it is already full of people. Under the arrangement of the staff, each person has a number. You only need to enter the test drive venue when you are called.

Many people come here for SUVs. Although sedans will dominate the sales in the future auto market, this does not hinder people's interest in SUV models.

For this press conference and test drive event, Yang Zhirong also specially arranged for a waiting place, where snacks and water were arranged. Taking advantage of this opportunity, people who came for the test drive also began to make "friends".

Borrowing the car, we started to chat:

"This car is really nice!"

"The most important battery pack of a new energy vehicle is as long as it is not shrunk, and other configurations are just icing on the cake. It is really worth buying such a car in the early 10."

"My old Santana cost nearly 16 yuan. At that time, I had no choice but to buy a domestic car. For better quality and durability, I had to buy imported brands..."

"now what?"

"Hey~"

"As long as the engine has reached a certain number of kilometers, there is no problem with any of them. It's just that the durability is different. I already have a petrol truck at home, and now I need a tram that can be installed."

"Yes, yes, me too!"

"The space of Polestar X is not small, but I always feel unsatisfied. Polestar A is a car. I have a car. I don't think about it. I can only choose Polestar S!"

"Who else is there at this price?"

"There is also a van that can be loaded, but the van... hey, the comfort is a little bit worse."

They got together in twos and threes, chatting with each other, chatting about the car while asking what the people around them were doing. They also left their phone numbers and added WeChat. When the test drive next to them came back, They grabbed the person who came back and asked how he felt:

"How about this car?"

"Uh…"

"If you're not in a hurry, let's sit down for a while."

"No hurry, no hurry, what do you say about this car? The people of Polestar Motors should have specially adjusted the comfort. It's a bit like driving a boat, but the support is not bad. The advantage is that the field of view is wide, and the sitting position is very comfortable."

"in the end?"

"Hey, I can't tell you about this thing, each person has their own feelings! By the way, the central control screen of the Polestar S high-end version is quite large, with good clarity and brightness, and the speakers are also very good. There is also a new function, what is it called... voice assistant?"

"What is this stuff?"

"That is, you can use voice control functions, such as opening the left window, turning on the music, turning on the air conditioner, turning on the map... Let's talk about a location, and the Beidou map will directly mark it for you, which is quite convenient."

"Is it that good?"

"That's not true. The voice assistant can only recognize Mandarin. My accent is too strong. I said several times that it couldn't understand what I was doing. Some functions couldn't be recognized. The staff told me that it was still in testing. , it should be more usable after the subsequent update.”

The others nodded. For many people, the voice assistant is not used at all. It doesn't matter whether the standard Mandarin is standard or not. It's just that they don't want to use it.

It's a little embarrassing to think about talking into the air.

It doesn’t matter if it’s there or not. The important thing is how the car is. I don’t know if I don’t test drive it. It’s a bit of a surprise after a test drive. The actual mass-produced version of Polestar S is a little different from the one at the auto show, but the difference is very small, and the rear row remains the same. It is a flat screen + large space, and the trunk can also be loaded.

The handling is indeed not as flexible as a car, but the field of vision is wide enough to make it more comfortable to drive.

The sound insulation effect is average, and the sound insulation effect of a car in the early 10 is unlikely to be good. Just look at the Xinghan mini back then. It costs 2 yuan to upgrade the sound insulation of a whole car. The effect is good, and the price is really expensive.

Can't afford it!

Many people who come to test drive only have a budget of about 10 yuan, otherwise, who would watch Polestar S?Isn't the all-round upgraded Xinghan 002 delicious?Moreover, a new type of alloy steel is used, and the safety is simply a batch.

Xinghan Zhixing's brand power is also stronger...

Just short of tens of thousands of dollars.

In general, Polestar A and Polestar S are the level that new energy vehicles in this price range should have. There are no particularly outstanding points, but they are not bad.

Of course, this is a comparison with new energy vehicles. If you compare fuel vehicles, the two vehicles are still very capable.

And the next day is the press conference of Xinghan Zhixing. This is the real highlight. Xinghan 002 and Xinghan 004 are currently the most concerned models. Sports car", can the heat not be high?

Under the marketing promotion of the media, SUV has almost become a model for Chinese people, not to mention sports cars. In people's impression, only rich people can afford sports cars, and Xinghan Zhixing directly does not take the usual way. I want to bring down the price of the sports car.

Chen Zifan can already predict how people will evaluate the Xinghan 004 after the press conference of Xinghan Zhixing. The general direction of criticism is as follows:
"Even if it has the appearance of a sports car, so what? It's just a look! Whoever buys it is an idiot!"

"What's the experience of pretending without money?"

"As much as you have the ability to do so many things, you can't afford a real sports car, and you won't buy such a defective product."

"Hahaha, won't it be embarrassing if you run into a Ferrari Lamborghini on the road?"

It’s nothing more than saying a few words. I feel that an electric sports car worth more than 20 yuan is shameless, and I’m afraid of being laughed at by others. In fact, a sports car is just a model, not a synonym for nobility. I haven’t waited for the new car to be released. Similar remarks has become popular.

As for whether there is any promotion from other automakers behind it... I don’t know. It doesn’t matter. Chen Zifan doesn’t care what others say. more fierce.

The online critics and the actual buyers are not in the same group at all, and the exterior design of the Xinghan 004 is purely original, without the shadow of other sports cars.

Besides, in reality, how can so many people pay attention to what cars other people drive?Who can be better than whom?

This is also Li Yuan's first time presiding over a press conference, but judging from the ostentation, Xinghan Zhixing is indeed better than Polestar Automobile by more than a star and a half, and the layout of the venue alone is not of the same level. combined with driving activities.

Wang Jinli also came to the scene this time. Under the expectation of everyone, Li Yuan boarded the stage of the press conference and began to introduce the two new cars of Xinghan Zhixing:

"...As a model more suitable for Chinese people, Xinghan 002 adopts a rear-mounted 5+ motor with a maximum horsepower of 322 horsepower and an acceleration time of 5.6 seconds. There are two optional battery packs: 50kWh and 60kWh. The comprehensive cruising range exceeds 500km..."

Configuration alone is not enough, but comfort is also required. Functions such as main and co-pilot electric seats, ventilation and heating, steering wheel heating, front and rear air conditioning, head-up display, and on-board wifi are all arranged. The low-end version is equivalent to 80% of the Xinghan 001, the high-end version is almost the same.

In terms of price, Xinghan 002 directly lowered the starting price after it was divided into versions. Li Yuan didn't bother, and announced the price after the introduction:
"The starting price of Xinghan 002 is——"

"16.58 yuan!"

"The price of the advanced version is-"

"17.98 yuan!"

　PS: There will be another update later, thanks.
