AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/16 Report--

After Wuling Hongguang MINI EV won the best-selling pure electric model in the world with its ultra-low threshold, it will launch more derivative models, including the official release of the open version of the official map. However, the car is not conceptual, the real car picture has been exposed.

A few days ago, some netizens photographed a new Hongguang MINI EV model, which is very similar to the previous official convertible version, so it is speculated that it will be a real car picture of the convertible model. As the new car is parked in a van and is about to be loaded and unloaded, it is speculated that the car will take part in the Shanghai Auto Show on April 19. According to the new car, the car is named Hongguang MINIEV CABRIO.

Compared with the official picture and the real car picture, the new car and the official picture can be said to achieve a very high degree of reduction. For example, the slightly protruding shape design of the front and rear fender and the silver guard under the door have formed a wide body effect for the new car in the visual effect, and the six-frame sports wheels have been perfectly transplanted. The difference is that the official map is in the form of an open canopy, while the real car map is equipped with a dark red soft-top convertible.

As there are only individual actual pictures of the new car, according to the previous official picture, the design of the new car is to connect the headlights by a through black front grille to form an integrated effect, and the front enclosure also uses a multi-layer design structure, which looks thicker. The overall shape of the rear part echoes with the front of the car, which makes the overall sense of the new car stronger.

As for the interior, we can only refer to the previous official picture, using a double screen design of a full LCD dashboard and a central multimedia display screen, with a double-spoke multi-function steering wheel and a compact knob electronic shift mechanism.

As we all know, since Wuling launched Hongguang MINI, it has been recognized by more and more markets with lower threshold and performance-to-price ratio, and the growth continues. Data show that since Wuling Hongguang MINI went on sale in July, it has reached nearly 10,000 vehicles in August, and sales have continued to soar since then, successfully winning the top spot among domestic pure electric models in September last year. Sales continued to rise in the following months, and production and sales reached an all-time high in March this year, leaving a clear gap with other pure electric models.

It can be said that the success of Hongguang MINI has given Wuling more confidence in the hope of creating more new models to accelerate the invasion of the micro-electric market.

Although the convertible model is a niche model, in the view of many netizens, as long as the price can be controlled within a range acceptable to more consumers, it may usher in a new upsurge. It is worth mentioning that the official also confirmed that the new car will not only stay in the concept stage, but will be mass-produced in the future. In this regard, the price may be what everyone expects.
