AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/20 Report--

In October, BAIC launched a new electric SUV model, the Leopard 200, which was officially offline at a factory in Dezhou, Shandong Province, resembling Mercedes-Benz's "Big G". Less than two months later, BAIC produced another Yanling electric car, and the declaration map of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the new model was exposed.

From the exposure of the new car declaration map, the new car uses a four-door version, the shape is also very similar to the Mercedes-Benz smart, and even the two-color wheels are similar to the Mercedes-Benz model. By comparison, the model "comes from the smart forfour, but the difference lies in the size." In addition, due to the lack of exhaust ports at the rear of the electric car.

The data show that the car is a pure electric car, the highest speed is 80km/h, the length, width and height of the body are 3239*1585*1541mm, and the wheelbase is 2240mm, which is different from smart forfour.

According to BAIC's previously launched BAIC Leopard 200 with a range of 150 kilometers, it is speculated that the model will not have a range of more than 200 kilometers. In response, many netizens complained that it was "an elderly walker on the road legally". Some netizens also said, "is it a Mercedes-Benz-BMW combination?" .

In fact, the model comes from a private enterprise, Beijing Automobile Factory Co., Ltd. (BAW), which was founded in 1958. It is the second large automobile manufacturer built by the country after Changchun first Automobile Factory. It is not the BAIC Group. Although it has had a relationship, it has parted ways since May 2016. BAIC has two major shareholders, Beijing Automobile Assembly Plant and Shanghai Qinyong New Energy Development Co., Ltd., with shares of 87.5% and 12.5% respectively, and owns Chaoyang, Shunyi and Huanghua.

As the country continues to promote the new energy vehicle market, many traditional car companies have joined the ranks of new energy vehicle manufacturing, and the launch of new cars made by BAIC also means that they are facing a signal of transformation. It is believed that other off-road models may also be new energy in the future.
