Tesla has just released the Model 3 entry-level electric car, which can be said to be the new star in the field of electric vehicles. Its price is only 35,000 US dollars (about 229,000 yuan), although production will not begin until the end of next year, but now the booking volume has exceeded 400,000.
Model 3 has taken the lead in capturing the entry-level electric vehicle market in the future with its cool appearance, futuristic suspended central control screen, 100-kilometer acceleration of 3.7 seconds and low price. However, for the traditional car manufacturers, Tesla will never let Tesla "sand" on his own site, so they have also launched their own cheap version of electric car products or revealed relevant plans.
As a direct competitor of Model 3, which models will compete directly with Tesla in the future, and may even surpass Tesla's position in the electric vehicle market, we may wish to take a look.
BMW i3
From the products that have been released or are currently on sale, the BMW i3 is definitely the number one competitor of Model 3 in the future. Not only does Tesla and BMW's brand positioning belong to luxury brands, but they are basically in the same position at the price, performance and brand level.
The BMW i3 is an electric car that went on sale in 2014 and starts at $43,350 (approximately RMB 283,000). The body of the i3 is made of carbon fiber composite material and aluminum body, and it is also very attractive in appearance. It is a very popular electric car on the market.
According to BMW, an upgraded version of the i3 will be launched this summer. The new car will upgrade the battery components and electronic components, and the cruising range will be increased by about 50% to 190 kilometers. In terms of basic performance, the i3's acceleration performance of 100 kilometers is 6.5 seconds, and the performance is also very good. And BMW i3 has become the biggest rival of Model 3 in the competition for high-end users.
Nissan Leaf
As the largest-selling pure electric vehicle in North America, the Nissan Leaf can be said to be the best tradition of Japanese models, cheap, durable and quite reliable. Leaf has been mass-produced in 2010, and has always occupied the No. 1 position in the sales of cheap electric vehicles in the North American market. After years of production and improvement, the technology of the entire platform is now quite mature.
Entering 2016, Nissan also updated the latest generation of Leaf, although it was only partially adjusted, but still increased the battery capacity from the previous 24kWh to 30kWh, an increase of 27%. At the same time, the 2016 Leaf has reached 172 kilometers in cruising range, almost becoming the highest level of cheap electric cars.
The price is also the biggest advantage of the Nissan Leaf. The latest 2016 model starts at $12510 (about RMB 137,000), almost two-thirds of the Model 3. So for the entry-level electric car market, Leaf will be the most competitive opponent in the price of Model 3.
Chevrolet Bolt
If you want to find a product that is closer to Model 3 in performance and price between the higher quality BMW i3 and the cheaper Nissan Leaf, then the non-Chevrolet Bolt is none other than the one.
Chevrolet Bolt announced more information on the production version at the CES earlier this year. It is reported that Bolt will start mass production at the end of this year, and the maximum cruising range can reach 322 kilometers. It can be said that such performance is very worth looking forward to.
At the same time, the Chevrolet Bolt will have more technological elements than the Nissan Leaf. In addition to the central control screen is not as exaggerated as the Model 3, but also equipped with a 10.2-inch Touch Screen, and integrated remote control to start and control air conditioning and other functions. In addition, Bolt also equipped with a camera rearview mirror, which can not only monitor the situation outside the car, but also can be used as a camera to capture the scene of the car 80 degrees.
Finally, the price, Model 3 is priced at $35,000, and the Chevrolet Bolt is priced at $37,500 (about RMB 245,000). The two can be said to be very close, so Bolt will also become the Model 3 Close and most challenging competitors.
Volkswagen e-Golf
Also at the CES at the beginning of this year, Volkswagen also brought the latest generation of e-Golf Touch electric cars. Compared with the ordinary electric version of Golf, the biggest difference is the addition of gesture control. In addition to gesture control, the e-Golf Touch is also equipped with a 9.2-inch large screen and wireless charging.
The e-Golf Touch is designed to showcase mass gesture control and modular custom infotainment platforms that will be used more widely in other models in the future. Finally, the car will also be equipped with an inductive wireless charging module for future wireless charging.
In terms of performance, the e-Golf has a top speed of 140km/h, a 100km acceleration time of 10.4 seconds and a cruising range of 130 to 190km. The e-Golf starts at $33,450 (about RMB 210,000) and is very close to the Model 3.
Renault Zoe
Renault Zoe is an entry-level electric car similar to the Nissan Leaf. In addition to its dynamic and stylish appearance, the cruising range can reach 240 kilometers. This is definitely another white-collar worker who needs to travel to and from work every day in the city. An affordable option.
As a representative of electric cars from France, Nino's price of 19,000 US dollars (about 124,000 yuan) is almost the most cost-effective model. Although performance and speed are not Zoe's strengths, Renault Zoe is definitely more attractive than Model 3 for those who are looking for practical and simple-oriented users.
