After driving these fine cars, I agree, if you don’t buy it, you will regret it!

Whether you admit it or not, electric vehicles will be the mainstream on the street in the future. In some market segments that can give full play to the advantages of electrification, this trend is already quite obvious. For urban commuting, a small electric car with a small size, cute appearance, and decent driving is a very suitable option. The most important thing is that such a small car must have a price advantage and be easily affordable by the public. Today, we have selected the following four high-quality pure electric cars.

Geely Panda mini

Guide price: 9.5K USD

  The Geely Panda mini was officially unveiled at the 2022 Guangzhou Auto Show.  The cute appearance, 200km range and fast charging make this two-door four-seater pure electric car reach a good level of practicality.  It is perfect for urban transportation, picking up children and shopping for groceries.

The Panda mini measures 3065×1522×1610mm in length, width and height, and has a wheelbase of 2015mm, making it easy to navigate crowded cities without pressure and solve parking problems. 



  The Panda mini has a polished interior, a 9.2-inch narrow strip LCD meter and an 8-inch floating center screen, which is a genuine addition for a small car at this price, and a system that supports the usual voice controls, navigation and online music.



  It is really difficult for a small car of this level to require four people to ride for a long time, but with two rear seats, short-distance travel is stress-free, which is more practical than some competing products with only two seats.

Changan Lumin

Guide price: 8.6k--11.7k USD



  In terms of cuteness, Changan Lumin's "waxy corn" seems to be unrivaled, and its round and cute appearance will definitely make most people feel affectionate. Different from Panda mini, there are three versions of Lumin, which are 155km, 210km, and 301km of battery life, which can meet different needs.

The length, width and height of Changan Lumin are 3270×1700×1545mm, and the wheelbase is 1980mm. The wheelbase is slightly shorter than that of Panda mini, but the body is longer and wider, and the internal space will not suffer too much

disadvantage.

The interior design of Changan Lumin is equally exquisite, and there is also a playful "tongue out" design on the lower half of the three-spoke steering wheel. The full LCD instrument and the 10.25-inch central control screen can also be played. The built-in reversing image, mobile phone interconnection, voice control, Bluetooth music/phone and other functions are completely comparable to any opponents of the same level. 

  Due to the slightly shorter wheelbase, the Lumin’s rear space is slightly inferior to that of the Panda Mini, but again, when an emergency is needed, it can also complete the task, and the gap of a few centimeters is not a serious problem.

Wuling Air ev clear sky

Guide price:  11.4K-13.8K USD

After the MINIEV became popular, Wuling launched many similar products one after another, including the slightly higher-positioned Air ev Qingkong. The 300-kilometer cruising range of the whole series is indeed considered "high-end" at this level. It is worth mentioning that Air ev is still a global model and will be sold in many overseas markets.



  Compared with MINIEV, the design of Air ev is more "sci-fi". The length, width and height of the four-seater version are 2974/1505/1631mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2010mm. From the perspective of parameters, the body width seems a bit conservative, but the wheelbase length is not
bad. 



  The interior of the Air ev is more advanced, and the application of dual screens also makes it look quite fashionable. Built-in Ling OS Lingxi system, the AI image "Little Wu Xiaoling" designed for the voice assistant function is very cute, supports sound source positioning, continuous dialogue, multiple commands in a single sentence, wake-up free, custom wake-up and other functions, the response is fast and accurate, you can It is said to be the top configuration of the same level.



  The rear side windows of the Air ev have quite a large area, and the sense of transparency is obviously better. This design may improve the riding experience more than the slight difference in the wheelbase.

Chery QQ ice cream

Guide price: 7.2K-9.8K



  Chery QQ ice cream has been on the market for a while, and it is also the lowest starting price among the four cars, only 39,900 yuan. Of course, its cruising range is only 120 kilometers, and the high-end models can reach 170 kilometers. It can only be said that you get what you pay for.

There are some slight differences in the body size of Chery Ice Cream in different models. The entry-level "milkshake", "cone" and "sundae" dessert three-piece set is 2980×1496×1637mm, and the three new "Tao Huanxi" models launched in 2022 are 3033×1496×1656mm. The wheelbase of all models is1960mm.

The dessert three-piece set is not equipped with a central control screen, but under the premise of a lower price, this is not unacceptable. The Peach Edition, the top model of Tao Huanxi, has added an 8-inch central control bottle, which supports car networking, navigation, music and other functions. Correspondingly, its price has also reached 57,520 yuan, but in terms of horizontal comparison, this price is not too much.

Relatively speaking, the biggest shortcoming of QQ Ice Cream may be the second-row space. With the shortest wheelbase among the four cars, the second-row window line is higher and the transparency is less. But the price advantage is in place, and the rear row experience at this level is not flawed, and it is still worth considering.

Summarize

Compared with a large number of "elderly scooters" in many regions, these pure electric mini-cars are more complete and mature in terms of driving experience, craftsmanship, safety and regulatory constraints. If you really have more transportation needs, you may wish to consider increasing your budget. I believe it can bring a better experience than those "cars" that cannot be registered.
