SAIC-GM-Wuling Nano EV

¡¾Compact and Exquisite Appearance¡¿The overall appearance is small and cute. As the saying goes, "though small, it has all the essential parts." The fresh and bright color scheme creates a youthful and lovely atmosphere. The fully enclosed design of the front end clearly indicates its identity as a pure - electric vehicle. The nearly through - type LED light strip with a glowing Wuling brand logo in the middle is very harmonious. The diamond - shaped design of the headlight groups on both sides echoes the shape of the brand logo in the middle, achieving the same effect in different ways. Although it uses halogen light sources, the light sense and illumination after being powered are quite good, which is more than enough for a mini - sized vehicle. The black plastic surround strip at the bottom resembles a big - mouth design. The C - shaped chrome - plated strips on both sides, together with the through - type chrome - plated strip above, bring a lot of delicate charm to the front of the car.

The side profile of the car is incredibly small. With a length of 2497mm, it's almost equal to the fully extended arms of a tall person. It feels like you can pick up the car at any time, which is extremely cute. The black - painted roof forms a color - blocking effect with the body, exuding a strong sense of youth. The vertical door handles have a unique shape. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly find them, which is quite distinctive. The black strips on the side skirts are similar to shark fins, and the delicate 12 - inch wheels on both sides make the whole side of the car look harmonious, and its cuteness is self - evident.

Compared with the front, I personally think the overall design of the rear is even more delicate and distinctive. A full - circle LED light strip at the top includes the brake light and the running light. The two sides of the light strip are in a Y - shape and extend to the rear of the car side, adding a sense of three - dimensionality. The square - shaped taillight group below includes a fog light group, and the black decoration on the outer periphery also enhances the delicate feeling. The opening method of the trunk door is very unique. The pull - down design turns it into a simple movable sofa after opening. It's perfect for watching the starry sky and night view at night, instantly creating a romantic atmosphere, which really suits the minds of young girls. Do you think a micro - electric vehicle can't have high - end configurations? NO. Keyless start, keyless entry, electric rear - view mirror adjustment, and electric rear - view mirror folding, etc. These technology - rich configurations can all be found on this car.

¡¾Minimalist and Cute Interior¡¿The overall interior design of the Wuling NanoEV is extremely simple. You can hardly see the presence of a central control screen. The color - blocking color scheme makes it look very cute and youthful. Although the center console is made of hard - wrapped materials, considering its price and size, it's not aiming for a luxury route. Instead, it fits its own positioning well and has a strong sense of design. The smooth lines and color splicing highlight its personality. The double - spoke multi - function steering wheel seems to be integrated with the center console without an independent column. This might cause taller people to hit their legs when getting in and out of the car, which I think is a bit unfriendly. However, it supports up - and - down adjustment, so you can still find the most suitable position and angle. Since there is no central control screen, the 7 - inch full - liquid - crystal instrument panel becomes very important. It not only displays various real - time information during vehicle driving but also allows you to switch between different driving modes. The rich functions are rarely found in other micro - vehicles.

Although there is no central control screen, it is equipped with a mobile phone holder. As long as you put your phone on it, you can instantly access functions like map navigation, multimedia, and music. The row of touch buttons below also enhances the technological sense of the whole car. Due to the small size of the car, to save space, the center armrest is omitted, and a column - mounted gear selector is adopted. It's not only easy to operate but also creates a through - passage between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat, making it very convenient to get in and out of the car. As the saying goes, "though small, it has all the essential parts," so it can't lack safety configurations. Tire pressure display, seat - belt reminder, rear - view camera, rear parking radar, hill - start assist, etc. Almost all the common safety configurations are included.

¡¾Compact but Well - Organized Interior Space¡¿It's just unreasonable to expect the comfort of a big sofa in a micro - vehicle. Although the overall interior space of the Wuling NanoEV is not very spacious, it is compact and well - organized. With two seats, both passengers can feel quite comfortable even when the car is fully occupied. I'm 175cm tall, and when the seat is adjusted to a comfortable position, there is about four - finger space above my head. The legroom in the front passenger seat is also not cramped. Moreover, the seats support forward - backward and backrest adjustment, so people of different body types can find the most suitable position and angle. The storage space is quite surprising. The large flat storage area on the center console can easily hold a girl's bag, cosmetics, etc. The rear trunk can probably fit a 20 - inch suitcase. Overall, the storage space is quite good for a micro - vehicle.

¡¾Driving Experience¡¿The Wuling NanoEV is powered by a pure - electric drive system with a permanent - magnet synchronous single motor and is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery. The maximum output power can reach 24kW, and the maximum torque is 85N¡¤m. These parameters are more than enough for a micro - vehicle used for daily urban commuting, grocery shopping, and picking up kids. The biggest highlight is its range of up to 305km, which completely outperforms other micro - electric vehicles in the same class.

The independent suspension design with MacPherson struts in the front and a single - arm suspension in the rear, combined with the soft tuning of the overall chassis, makes the car drive quite smoothly on urban roads. It won't jolt the kids or spill the drinks in the car, providing a good driving and riding comfort.

¡¾Summary¡¿The Wuling NanoEV not only has a cute and delicate appearance but also shows good performance in terms of power and range. Most importantly, its overall body size is truly unique, fully demonstrating its compactness. When driving on the road, it will definitely attract a high rate of»Øͷ. It's a micro - electric vehicle with high cost - performance and a unique charm.

General situation:
We participated in a media test drive event for the Wuling Nano EV at the end of last year. The model we test drove was the 2021 Fun Edition - High - power Version, and the test drive mileage was about 100 kilometers. Now, I'd like to briefly share my experience with you.

Power performance:
The vehicle is equipped with a front - mounted single motor with a maximum power of 29kW, a maximum horsepower of 39 hp, and a maximum torque of 110N¡¤m. The transmission system is matched with a single - speed transmission for electric vehicles with a fixed gear ratio, and the battery type is lithium iron phosphate. In addition, the unloaded mass of the vehicle is 860kg, and the vehicle weight is relatively light. So, the horsepower - to - weight ratio of the whole vehicle is actually not weak. However, the power performance of the whole vehicle is concentrated in the middle and early stages. When the vehicle speed reaches about 70km/h, the vehicle's re - acceleration ability seems rather weak. Overall, the power performance still poses no major problem in urban driving. The actual cruising range shrinks in winter, but it's basically within an acceptable range.

Riding space:
The overall vehicle length is 2497mm, and the wheelbase is 1600mm. But it adopts a two - seat layout, so the interior space is actually sufficient. When an experiencer with a height of 175cm sits in the car, there is plenty of headroom, about more than two fists. The legroom in the front passenger seat is about more than three fists. This performance seems quite good for a micro - car.

In terms of appearance, the most eye - catching feature of this Nick limited edition is the exclusive Nick green car paint, which gives people a brand - new feeling. The exterior styling belongs to the typical compact and agile style. The front face adopts a fully enclosed design, paired with the black trim on the front bumper, looking very fashionable. In terms of details, the limited edition of Wuling Nano EV is decorated with a "Disney" limited logo on the front fender. The cute image design of Nick on the C - pillar is very lovely, adding a lot of vitality to the whole vehicle. The rear of the car is relatively simple in shape. The split taillight design has high recognition. The brake lights and width indicator lights are arranged around the rear windshield, while the rear fog lights and reverse lights are arranged on both sides of the rear bumper, with an irregular quadrilateral design added, looking very trendy.

In terms of interior, Wuling Nano EV adopts a relatively simple center console design. This car doesn't have a common center console display screen, and all information is concentrated on this 7 - inch LCD instrument. In addition, the center console, door panels, seats and other parts adopt the same color design style as the body, creating a good echo between the interior and the exterior. Although most of the materials used inside the car are hard plastics, the overall assembly process is relatively excellent, and there is no obvious unpleasant smell in the new car. In terms of space, the overall seating position in Wuling Nano EV is relatively high, and the steering wheel does not support adjustment.

In terms of space, for a person with a height of 178 cm, after adjusting the front - row seat to the lowest position, there is still about four - finger space for the head. In terms of storage space, there is only one place on each of the left and right door panels in the front row to place a water cup, and the overall storage space is relatively tight. The trunk volume is also relatively small. It is basically enough for daily grocery shopping, but when it comes to large - scale supermarket shopping, the trunk can hardly meet the storage needs, and items can only be piled on the passenger seat.

In terms of power, as a model designed for short - distance transportation, Wuling Nano EV performs relatively well in the most commonly used speed range of 60 - 80 km/h during daily urban travel. Both starting and acceleration can give the driver a relatively linear power feeling.

In terms of handling, in terms of suspension hardware configuration, it is equipped with front MacPherson and rear single - arm independent suspensions, which are rare in the same class, ensuring a certain level of overall handling and comfort. However, it should be noted that when the speed reaches over 60 km/h and making an emergency lane change, the body posture will still shake significantly, and the handling limit is not very high.
