Chery iCAR 03 is officially listed at a price of 109,800-169,800 yuan.
Sina Auto News was officially launched on February 28th, 2024. The new car will provide two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models. According to the configuration, six models will be launched, with a price range of 109.8-169.8 million yuan, which is 20,000 yuan cheaper than the pre-sale price. The new car will adopt the extremely popular "square box" shape, and adopt pure electric drive mode, with cruising range of 401km, 472km and 501km.
In terms of appearance, Chery iCAR 03 adopts a more tough shape. Although the front part does not use a penetrating light group, it still uses decorative strips to connect the headlights on both sides in series. The headlight group of the new car is also very recognizable. When the daytime running light is lit, it presents the shape of the letter "I", which also echoes the LOGO of the car logo.
The fully enclosed middle net is also the iconic design of new energy vehicles, while the front bumper part uses a more aggressive and domineering protruding design, which looks more like a small hard-core SUV. In terms of configuration, the front part of the car is equipped with a front camera and a millimeter wave radar, so the safety configuration of the car is also worthy of recognition.
The shape of the side of the car body is also square enough, but in many details, it has added a rounded transition, which seems to be more suitable for urban use. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4406x1910x1715mm and the wheelbase is 2715mm.
In terms of wheel hub, the new car will provide 18-inch and 19-inch wheel hub configurations. The 19-inch wheel hub looks more atmospheric and fashionable, and the wheel eyebrows are also designed to protrude, which is very consistent with the overall shape of the vehicle. As a new energy vehicle, the car also adopts a hidden door handle design, thus reducing the drag coefficient.
The shape of the rear part is also very design-oriented, which not only retains the overall styling style of the car, but also adds a plug-in "small schoolbag" to improve the storage capacity of the vehicle. Compared with the traditional tailgate opening method, the side door of Chery iCAR 03 is more practical and elegant, and I still like this design very much.
In order to increase the recognition of the vehicle, the taillight group of the new car is also designed in the shape of "I", and even the pattern inside is consistent with the LOGO of the logo, which is really very innovative. The new car will adopt a double color scheme, which will also make the vehicle look younger.
In terms of interior, Chery iCAR 03 has also achieved the leading level at the same level, including materials, design, humanization and technology, which are very satisfactory. The new car will use a minimalist interior design. There are not many materialized buttons in the car, and most of the functions are integrated into the 15.6-inch central control screen.
The new car will be equipped with a D-shaped sports steering wheel. Unlike many new energy vehicles, Chery iCAR 03 will use a three-spoke design, which really looks a lot more comfortable. The steering wheel adopts multi-function buttons of roller type, and the sense of technology has been greatly improved.
The central control screen adopts a suspended design with a size of 15.6 inches. This screen will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 Car Gauge Chip, and support online navigation, online entertainment, mobile phone interconnection, remote control, APP download, OTA upgrade, voice control and so on, which can fully meet our daily needs.
In terms of comfort and practicality, the vehicle is equipped with 50W wireless charging, ventilation, heating and massage of the main driver’s seat, and electric leg rest of the co-driver. In terms of safety configuration, the car is also equipped with L2-level intelligent driver assistance system, including ACC adaptive cruise, pre-collision warning, changing lanes by shifting lever and automatic parking.
The new car seat also adopts double color matching, and the overall support is also excellent, especially the waist wing and leg wing parts, which will bring better comfort and security to the occupants. In terms of configuration, the main driver’s seat of the high-profile model will be equipped with heating, ventilation and massage functions, and the auxiliary driver’s seat will also be equipped with electric leg rest function.
The comfort and space performance of the rear seats are also very satisfactory, because the "square box" shape is used, so the head space in the car is not compressed at all, and the width of the car is also improved to some extent. The floor in the back row is also flat, which is convenient for the passengers in the back row.
In terms of power, the new car provides two kinds of power: single-motor rear drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive. The maximum power of the single-motor version is 135kW, and the dual-motor version is the first 70kW plus the second 135kW. Both front and rear are permanent magnet synchronous motors. The cruising range is 401/472/501 km.
In terms of four-wheel drive system, the new car is equipped with iWD intelligent electric four-wheel drive and adopts H-arm multi-link and hydraulic bushing chassis structure, which can provide a variety of driving modes and provide a certain passing capacity.
