After the previous black cat and white cat series laid a solid user base for the brand, Great Wall Euler successfully established the brand's position in the pure electric vehicle market segment in the price range of 654.38+ 10,000+by launching the good cat series and relying on the excellent design and excellent mechanical quality in statistics.
As the main model of the whole Euler brand, Good Cat recently ushered in its latest redesigned model in 2023. The change of the new car mainly lies in the interior, which not only introduces a brand-new interior collocation, but also upgrades the previous knob shift to electronic gear, redesigns the storage space between the main driver and the auxiliary driver, and adds an extremely practical 50w wireless fast charging function.
However, what is even more surprising than this slight improvement is that Euler officially announced that the owner who purchased the 2023 Euler Good Cat before April 30, 2023 can not only enjoy a cash discount of 22,000 yuan, but also enjoy free charging pile installation and lifetime three-power warranty. In other words, the original price of the 2023 Euler Good Cat was 12.98- 165800 yuan, and now the lowest price is 107800 yuan.
Euler's action of "Good Cat" will be a big challenge even for the dolphin with the highest sales volume at present. At last, I had a chance to touch this ambitious new car in rainy days to see if it could impress me, a straight man who drives a fuel car.
Euler's good cat, like many people, gives me the first impression of "cuteness" in appearance, which is achieved through various rounded elements and lines. It is precisely because of this design that many people have a little misunderstanding about the size of a good cat and think it is a car.
But its size is not small in a small car. The body circumference of 4235/ 1825/ 1596mm is actually wider and higher than Volkswagen Golf, which locates compact cars. The wheelbase of Euler Good Cat is 2650mm, which is also longer than golf. Therefore, compared with other small pure electric vehicles with the same positioning, good cats have great advantages in size.
This advantage is naturally reflected in the interior space-when you get into a good cat's car, you will find that the lateral width of this car is very wide, and there is no feeling of cramped car. At the same time, the space in the back row is also decent. In addition, the full-level platform advantage brought by the pure electric platform makes the riding experience in the back row completely equivalent to a-class cars.
It is more correct to describe a good cat with the phrase "look small and sit big"
However, it's a pity that this back row, which could easily accommodate three people, is not equipped with a headrest for the middle seat. This is really a small pity. The rest, whether it is the sitting posture or the support of the seat itself, Euler's good cat has achieved this degree of Excellence.
As for the volume of the trunk, it is obviously a compromise to the rear space. The vertical space is not excellent, but fortunately it is deep enough. Considering the positioning of Good Cat City, there is little demand for long-distance travel. I think this trade-off is actually worthwhile.
If you have a good memory, you must remember that a good cat caused yourself a lot of trouble when it first went on the market. In order to avoid the recurrence of similar embarrassment, this time Euler also focused on upgrading the 2023 Good Cat car.
In addition to having a richer application ecosystem and supporting OTA upgrades, the new car also adds support for Apple CarPlay and Huawei HiCar, and owners who use Apple phones and Huawei phones will be able to get a more complete car experience.
In addition to software upgrades, in terms of hardware, Good Cat has also added a four-way steering wheel adjustment function to high-end models. Although it is a pity that the low-end models still only support two-way adjustment, at least users have the right to choose.
Is it a "good" cat to drive? From the static experience, a good cat gives me a good impression. What about driving?
It is generally believed that cars of this class often don't invest too much in driving experience, but Euler doesn't intend to make a model of a good cat. First of all, I can praise the driving ability of a good cat. Whether it is the kinetic energy recovery of multiple gears, the CRBS adjustment of the brake pedal, or the linearity of the throttle, there are not many faults to pick.
Even in terms of power, it is quite surprising that the motor equipped with 105kW( 143 HP) accelerates in the speed range of 0-80 km/h. It is worth mentioning that my test drive car is also equipped with Michelin Primacy 3ST tires, which greatly improves the road noise and tire noise performance of the whole vehicle. However, it is understood that this kind of high-cost tire needs an additional choice of 3999 yuan. If not, the original factory will be equipped with a set of Tong Jia Comfort 225 tires.
Considering that Michelin tires can greatly improve the NVH and grip of the whole vehicle, I suggest that qualified buyers choose this set of tires.
In terms of chassis, thanks to the huge battery pressure on the chassis, a good cat can show a sense of transcendence when crossing the ditch at medium and low speeds. However, when you run over the speed bump at a high speed, it will still be a bit "exposed" because of the suspension structure, but in most working conditions, the chassis of a good cat can still secretly give you a little value.
But the steering feel is still the shortcoming of a good cat. Strong electronic smell and lack of delicate damping gain make it difficult for you to perceive the direction of the front wheel. Fortunately, its steering force can be adjusted or set to a lighter state, which is better for female users.
Of course, it is obviously too harsh to expect a "quasi-A-class car" with a class of100000, a battery life of 400-500km and a strong sense of internal and external design to spend more money in such a trivial place. Again, considering the positioning of a good cat, its overall driving experience has been called a high score answer sheet.
From a personal point of view, the retro+trendy collision beauty created by Euler for a good cat is the biggest product strength of this car. Under this excellent design, it is exquisite interior atmosphere and materials, as well as just the right technology configuration.
Coupled with no compromise in design or too much mechanical quality and space practicality, Euler Good Cat, which has been on the market for nearly two and a half years, is still a very competitive and unique selling point in its class in the rapidly changing new energy vehicle market.
Although there are as many as ten kinds of body colors and six kinds of interiors, the main audience is female car owners. I believe that most girls will not refuse to own a good Euler cat, but obviously, with enough decent mechanical quality, it is estimated that men will become more honest when paying for their wives.
