Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 will be listed on June 14, pre-sale from 200,000 yuan

A few days ago, I learned that Dongfeng Yipai e π 008 will be officially listed on June 14. As the second model under the Dongfeng Yipai brand, Dongfeng Yipai e π 008 is positioned as a medium and large SUV, providing range extension and pure electric power. It has been pre-sold on April 25. The pre-sale price range is 200,000 – 250,000 yuan.

From the perspective of the product itself, the appearance design of Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 is relatively simple. The traditional front grille area is integrated with many dot matrix light sources, and it is equipped with a luminous brand logo and a through-type headlight group. After lighting, it can present a rather cool lighting effect and enhance the technological attributes of the vehicle. On this basis, the Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 front surrounds both sides with an integrated blackened air diversion groove design, so that the wide and full front face does not appear too calm.

Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 has the body profile of a mainstream SUV, and the hidden door handle, low wind resistance aluminum alloy rim and other design elements that are commonly used in new energy are not absent. At the same time, the lower edge of the door is integrated into black decoration, which weakens the heaviness of the vehicle to a certain extent. In addition, the rear tail light group of Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 is also a through style, and the light sources on the left and right sides are arranged in dotted lines, which looks normal. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 are 5002/1972/1732mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3025mm.

Entering the car, the Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 is equipped with an independently designed floating LCD instrument and a large-size central control screen. The steering wheel shape is basically the same as the Dongfeng Yipai eπ 007, and it is covered with a two-color material, with a correction logo at 12 o’clock. On this basis, some areas of the Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 are covered with wood grain trims, which helps to enhance the sense of class in the cockpit.

Due to the Huai block design, the design layout of the central channel functional area of Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 is quite regular, with the upper layer designed with horizontal double cup slots and mobile phone wireless charging panels, etc.; the lower layer is hollowed out to further enhance the storage space in the car.

Positioned as a medium and large SUV, the Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 adopts a cockpit layout of 2 + 2 + 2 with a total of six seats. The first and second rows of seats provide heating/ventilation functions, and the third row of seats is equipped with independent cup holders, charging ports, reading lights, etc. At the same time, the Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 third row of seats supports reclining, and the trunk volume can be expanded to 783 liters.

Other configuration parts, Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 provides second-row right-hand small table board, 15.6-inch rear entertainment screen, 20-speaker sound system, high-speed NOA pilot assist driving, remote car transfer, LAPA over-the-horizon memory parking and other functional configurations; while the dual-purpose car refrigerator will not be absent, and the refrigerator can achieve electric sliding before and after the first row to the third row, but it is not expected to be standard in all systems.

In terms of power, the Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 range extension version uses a 1.5-liter engine with a maximum power of 108 kW as a range extender, and is equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 200 kW and a 34.32 kWh group. The pure electric cruising range of the CLTC condition can reach 210 kilometers. The Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 pure electric version also adopts the rear drive form, and the maximum power of the drive motor is 200 kW. With the support of the 82.28 kWh group, the pure electric cruising range of the CLTC condition is 636 kilometers.

Based on product positioning and pre-sale prices, Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 Extended Range Edition is expected to compete with popular SUVs of the same level as Dongfeng Yipai Eπ 008; competitors of Dongfeng Yipai Eπ 008 pure electric version or models such as Direction, FAW-Volkswagen. Nowadays, the competition in the domestic new energy market is quite fierce, and Dongfeng Yipai branding impression and influence are still quite limited. Therefore, if Dongfeng Yipai eπ 008 wants to gain a firm foothold in the market and increase its volume quickly, the official may need to give more sincerity in the final pricing.
