Small body and heavy load! Won't you come to a domestic K-car?

The first time I traveled abroad, I went to an island country. As a car fan, apart from other factors, the island country is really a paradise for car lovers. There, besides the authentic JDM models, such as FD2, R32 and Supra, there are more K-cars all over the streets.

As the saying goes: one side of the soil and water raises one side. In fact, the same is true of cars. Americans love big pickups, Europeans love station wagons, China is obsessed with SUVs, and Japanese prefer K-cars. There is no difference between good and bad, but the automobile culture formed by different countries due to different regions and policies. K-CAR's Roman pinyin for "light automatic car" in Japanese is "Keijidousha", so it is logical to have the name K-CAR. The Japanese government has clearly defined its body size and engine displacement, with the length not exceeding 3.4m, the width not exceeding1.48m, the height not exceeding 2m and the displacement not exceeding 0.66L.. As long as it does not exceed the boundaries of the government, car manufacturers are free to play. These square cars are not much different from full-size cars except for their small size and displacement.

K-CAR is made, but without a policy, who would want to consume such a small car? Shame? Japan is a small country with an inch of land and gold. Buying a car is not just the price. Buyers also need proof of parking space to get the license, while K-CAR does not need proof of parking space. The taxes and insurance premiums paid when buying a car are much more cost-effective than full-size models. Buying K-CAR seems to be the lowest cost way for Japanese families to own cars, similar to the new energy subsidy in China.

At present, there are many small cars or compact cars on the market that are sold under the banner of large space at the same level, but in terms of practicality and space flexibility, they are all younger brothers in front of K-CAR. I still remember that when the first generation of Fit entered the China market, it put forward the concept of "MM", that is, "Minimize machinery and maximize space". The rear legroom of Fit created by this design concept is even larger than that of many mainstream compact cars.

In fact, K-CAR takes the concept of "MM" to the extreme, and its length, width and height are clearly defined. In order to maximize the use of space in a limited area, it can only be modeled as a square box. The length and width are limited, but the height of two meters has great design tolerance. The engine compartment should be as short as possible, with four wheels on the four corners of the car body, and the seats should be high, so that passengers can sit higher and make up for the lack of leg space caused by the short car body.

Since K-CAR has so many advantages, why not enter China? Although the sparrow is small, it has all aspects. High-tech configurations such as automatic air conditioning, reversing image, body stability system and automatic braking are all equipped with exquisite workmanship and high-grade materials. Under such manufacturing standards, the price is naturally high. Take the price of Honda N-WGN as an example, the price in Japan has been converted into RMB 90,000, and then look at the domestic Fit matching, which is about 90,000. Who doesn't want to spend the same money to buy a National Taiwan University? Moreover, there is no policy of "buying a car requires a parking permit" in China, so there is no market for K cars.

There is another important reason. At that time, China also had its own special model, namely the Light/Glory of Micro-Faceted Wuling. These models can be a good tool for ordinary people to become rich and well-off, and only need 30,000-40,000 yuan. Similarly, having a large space is just a simple interior. K-CAR obviously has no advantage in the face of cheaper micro-surfaces.

Wuling will do whatever people need. It is true that Wuling is a car company that actively responds to market demand. When masks are out of stock, the production line will be transformed into masks. With the implementation of stall economy, Wuling Glory Wing Kai and other stall models were launched in response to the call of the state. Isn't this the China version of the K truck?

Wings of Glory can open all containers and display goods from all angles with small floor space and strong maneuverability. Its car height is 2.26 meters, the container space volume reaches 5300L, and the electric push rod is equipped with a spring, which makes it easier to open the container when setting up a stall.

The door inside the container can be turned up about 85 degrees, which can expand the area of sun protection and rain protection. The design of the backflow trough can effectively divert rainwater without backflow. The sectional opening mode increases the area of the cargo platform when the lower side plate is unfolded. The box is made of a new type of high-density lightweight PP honeycomb composite material, and its antirust ability is as high as 10 year. Enough to spare your worries and concentrate on making money.

Have you taken a fancy to this "stall economy" artifact with China characteristics?

It is also the product of policy and Wuling brand. This "people's scooter" can represent the development of K-car culture in China.

Hong Guang Mini? EV's design concept takes compact, exquisite, convenient and simple design as the core, pursues the ultimate space practicability in a limited space, shortens the front suspension and rear suspension as much as possible, and crams four seats into the length of less than 3 meters.

Hong Guang Mini? The length, width and height of EV are 29711493/1621mm respectively, and the wheelbase is only 1940mm. The front seat design is transparent, which is convenient for us to get off from the co-pilot when parking in extreme cases. The second row can also be put down as a whole, which can reach a luggage compartment of 0.74 cubic meters and easily put down two 26-inch suitcases.

The interior design is still practical, and the storage space of the whole vehicle has reached 12, which is richer than many SUVs.

Hong Guang Mini? The electric vehicle will be equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 20 kW. * * * There are two battery capacity versions, the rated voltage of the battery system of both versions is 96V, the rated capacity of the power battery system is 144Ah/96Ah, and the cruising range of the NEDC of the two endurance versions is 170/ 120km respectively. The vehicle supports 220V household power supply charging, and the charging time is 6 hours /9 hours. The battery provides an 8-year warranty1.2000 km.

If we go to the higher end of the new energy K-CAR model, the brand is Euler. Euler R 1 has a lovely appearance and spacious space since it was launched, with a battery life of 35 1km. The most important thing is that you can enjoy the preferential policies of new energy in first-tier cities like Guangzhou, and go straight to Guangdong A Guangzhou brand, which is not bound by "opening four and stopping four".

The products have been sold very well, and only by maintaining a certain update frequency can the popularity continue. That's why Ola White Cat came. Our company Jingyi has filmed "Playing Car Test Site" by Euler White Cat, and interested netizens can have a look.

Why do you say that Euler White Cat has K-car elements? First of all, its design was designed by Naoko Suzuki of Yokohama styling room of Great Wall Japan Technology Research Co., Ltd., and the design was inspired by "cats". Secondly, it inherits the advantages of small size and large space.

Euler White Cat is built on its own ME pure electric platform, positioned as A00 pure electric vehicle, with a body size of 3625/ 1660/ 1530mm and a wheelbase of 2490 mm The short body is very flexible and convenient for parking in crowded roads. The new car will be equipped with 15 inch or 16 inch low-resistance wheels, matching 165/65? R 15 or 175/55? R 16 tire.

Under normal circumstances, the trunk volume is 173 liters. If you want to enlarge a piece of luggage, put down the rear seat and expand the volume to 867 liters. This will save the cost of buying suitable minivans and mobile trucks.

In terms of configuration, it is unambiguous. The interior design of Ola White Cat is also very simple. Most functions are integrated on the steering wheel and the central control panel. In-vehicle system supports mobile phone interconnection, language control, vehicle networking, OTA upgrade, etc. In terms of other configurations, the new car comes standard with reversing images, halogen headlights, electric windows and manual air conditioners; High-equipped models are equipped with active braking, reversing radar, panoramic image, automatic parking, keyless entry, wireless charging of mobile phones, GPS navigation and other functional components.

The space in the back row is comparable to some compact cars, so it is absolutely no problem to sit next to an adult man of 1.8 meters. There are up to 24 storage spaces.

In terms of power, the new car will provide two power models:

The 360km battery life version is driven by a 35kW motor, with a maximum torque of 1.25Nm, a battery capacity of 34kWh and a fast charging time of 40 minutes.

The 40 1km cruising vehicle is driven by a 45kW motor, with a maximum torque of 130 Nm, a battery pack capacity of 38kWh and a fast charging time of 45 minutes.

There is an old saying in picking up girls: what you can't get is the best. This sentence is the same in the automobile industry. In the current domestic market, some mini-cars are the closest products to K cars in all aspects. Do you want to eat one?
