2.1 Range Revolution: 210km Pure Electric Range, Saying Goodbye to "Charging Anxiety"
210km pure electric range: Covers 90% of urban commuting scenarios, one charge a week is enough for daily needs, completely eliminating the pain point of "plug-in hybrid cars requiring frequent charging." Compared to the old model's 80km range, the improvement is 162%, and the daily commuting cost is as low as 0.1 RMB/km.
2110km comprehensive range: Long-distance travel does not require planning for charging stations; one tank of fuel + a full charge can easily cover inter-provincial travel, eliminating the hassle of queuing for refueling at highway service areas during holidays.
2.79L fuel consumption in hybrid mode: Even when the battery is depleted, the fuel consumption is still lower than most gasoline cars, and the cost of use is only 1/3 of that of gasoline cars.
2.2 Design Refresh: Dragon Face Aesthetics 3.0, Combining Beauty and Practicality
Front design: The dot-matrix dragon scale dynamic grille is paired with "dragon eyebrow" LED headlights, creating a strong visual impact and a low drag coefficient of 0.26Cd, optimizing high-speed energy consumption.
Body lines: Fastback coupe styling + blackened mesh wheels, full of sporty feel, while optimizing rear headroom.
New color: Weiyang Gray (derived from the high-end Han series), a gray base with a celadon glaze texture, changing with the light, showing understated luxury. Rear Design: A continuous, integrated taillight design provides high visibility at night, and the rear bumper diffuser enhances the sporty look.
2.3 Smart Cockpit: DiLink 6.0 system for more convenient operation.
Electronic Gear Selector: Integrated design frees up center console space and is easier to operate, also supporting mobile phone NFC key (Huawei/OPPO and other brands).
8.8-inch Instrument Cluster + 12.8-inch Central Control Screen: Clear information display, equipped with DiLink 6.0 infotainment system, supporting practical functions such as voice control, navigation, and music.
Comfort Features: 6-way power adjustment for the driver's seat, leather seats, rear air vents, and PM2.5 filtration system.
Intelligent Driving Assistance: DiPilot system supports L2-level functions such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking, with added scenario-based functions such as "traffic efficiency priority" and "dangerous lane change warning."
Rear Passenger Space: Passengers 180cm tall have ample legroom (more than two fist widths), and the optimized headroom provides a comfortable experience. The flat floor design enhances comfort for the middle passenger.
Storage Capacity: The trunk has a 500L capacity, accommodating three 20-inch suitcases, and the rear seats support a 4/6 split-folding configuration.
Detail Design: High utilization of storage space in the door panels and center armrest box meets the daily storage needs of families.
