On the evening of August 27th, Tucki M03 was officially launched on "Xpeng Motors 10th Anniversary Hot Love Night". The new car was launched in three configurations, namely, 515 long battery life version, 620 long battery life version and 580 long battery life MAX version. The official guide price range was 119,800 yuan to 155,800 yuan. The price of Tucki M03 is not high, but its configuration is not cheap. According to official news, the number of new cars has exceeded 10,000 in 52 minutes. Then, what is the specific product strength of this car? Let’s learn more about it together.
The overall appearance of Tucki M03 presents a young and fashionable style design, which adopts a closed front face and is equipped with a T-shaped integrated light group, and the front enclosure is equipped with an AGS active air intake grille, which can effectively reduce the wind resistance. The headlights come standard with automatic headlights, adaptive low and high beams and delayed turn-off.
The new car has a length, width and height of 4780x1896x1445mm and a wheelbase of 2815. It is a compact car. The overall lines on the side of the car body are smooth, with a hatchback body design and a hidden door handle. The new car comes standard with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and 19-inch sports wheels and Michelin tires are available for optional installation. The D-pillar position of the vehicle also has an air deflector. The rear part adopts a T-shaped split taillight similar to the headlight style, and a "duckling tail" is designed on the trunk cover. The whole car adopts a lot of aerodynamic optimization design, which can effectively reduce the wind resistance, and the wind resistance coefficient of the new car is only 0.194.
In the interior part, the whole new car adopts minimalist design, the leather steering wheel adopts double-spoke D-shaped structure design, and there is a wheel button on each side of the steering wheel, which is matched with an electronic gear shifting mechanism. The new car needs optional LCD instrument panel, and does not provide HUD head-up display function, only equipped with a 15.6-inch floating central control panel. The car has built-in Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155P on-board intelligent chip, which provides functions such as front and rear partition speech recognition control system, GPS navigation, facial recognition, 4G network, gesture control, OTA upgrade and so on.
The new car seat is made of imitation leather, which supports the standard 6-way electric adjustment of the driver’s seat and 4-way electric adjustment of the co-driver’s seat, and the whole system comes standard with the seat welcoming function. The long battery life version also provides seat ventilation and heating and main driving memory functions.
In addition, Tucki M03 also comes standard with functions such as wireless charging panel of mobile phone, built-in driving recorder, etc., and provides PSS advanced customized speaker sound system with 18 speakers, and 7.1.4-channel surround sound arrangement with sky channel is optional.
In terms of power, the new car provides two different specifications of single motor drive. The maximum power and torque of the motor on the 515 long-life version are 140kW, 225N·m, the matching capacity is 51.8kWh, and the CLTC pure electric cruising range is 515km；. The 620 long battery life version and the 580 long battery life MAX version are equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 160kW and a maximum torque of 250N·m, both of which have a matching capacity of 62.2kWh. Due to the slight differences in configuration, the CLTC pure electric cruising range of these two versions is 620km and 580km respectively.
In terms of intelligent driving, Tucki M03 has L2-level intelligent driving assistance capability. The 515 long battery life version and 620 long battery life version models with low mid-range are equipped with XPILOT assisted driving operating system, equipped with 2 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and 9 cameras inside and outside the car, supporting adaptive cruising, lane keeping and intelligent parking in full scene. The top-of-the-line 580-long-endurance MAX model is equipped with XNGP driver-assisted operating system, built-in NVIDIA DRIVE Orin intelligent driver-assisted chip, 3 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, and has 12 cameras inside and outside the car. In addition to the basic intelligent driving assistance function, it also supports high-speed/city full-scene NGP navigation assistance, parking, intelligent outbound and other functions.
The entry-level 515 has a long battery life, pushing the price to 119,800. Obviously, it has a fight with the price killer BYD, and the configuration is relatively complete and the cost performance is high. 620 long battery life version, the power and battery capacity have been improved, and the front seat has been heated and ventilated, as well as the ambient light in the car, which is 10,000 yuan more expensive. I feel that everything except power and battery is given, and the cost performance is still outstanding. If I am not interested in smart driving, I highly recommend buying this one. The 580 long battery life MAX has the same power as the long battery life version, but the battery life is less. Three millimeter-wave radars, ORIN-X chips and XNPG system are added to the configuration, which mainly improves the intelligent driving ability, and friends who often run long distances can consider it.
On the whole, the design, dynamic performance and intelligent configuration of Tucki M03 are remarkable. The configuration of Tucki M03 is relatively perfect, and the battery life is also long, and the overall cost performance is relatively high. However, there is a price difference of 27,000 yuan between the top version and the middle version. Although it is equipped with high-level intelligent driving assistance function, its endurance is slightly inferior. In this respect, it depends on whether consumers are pursuing cruising range or intelligent driving function. Personally, Tucki M03 will be a good choice for young consumers who want to start a cost-effective pure tram.
