In fact, for just over $10,000, you can drive home a decent B-segment new energy vehicle.
That's right, you heard it right, it's the kind of big car you can sit in and make your neighbours smack their lips with envy!
That said, not only are these cars affordable, but the quality is guaranteed by the big manufacturers, so that feels like a great deal!
DEEPAL SL03: This is not the ordinary ‘net red face’!
The price of the DEEPAL SL03 has jumped from $170,000 to $10,000, which is a real eye-opener.
To put it in perspective, its face is really top notch. Slippery back shape with frameless doors, standing in front of the car is a kind of enjoyment.
Its 4820/1890/1480mm body proportions, with a wheelbase of 2900mm, in the same price range is definitely considered ‘long legs’.
The most surprising thing is that the 2025 model also adds black and gold colour collision interior, which makes the original minimalist cabin a bit more ‘aristocratic’.
When it comes to the power system, the SL03 can be said to be ‘prepared’: the extended-range version offers two power options, 160kW and 175kW, and the pure electric version directly dislikes 190kW, so that you no longer have to ‘give way’ at traffic light intersections.
Moreover, the range of this car ranges from 140km to 530km, depending on which ‘position’ you want.
Star Ocean S7: a low-key ‘powerhouse’
To say that the most recent circle of the hottest ‘dark horse’, the Star Ocean S7 is definitely on the list. 119,800 yuan starting price really let a lot of rivals pinched sweat.
This guy's body is even more proud: 4935/1915/1495mm body size with 2915mm wheelbase, standing next to it, even next door to the family of luxury cars have to be slightly convergence of a few points.
The most extreme is that people still have a 0.191 wind resistance coefficient, this data put aside five years ago, that are high-end sports car only dare to say.
Interior, 8.8-inch full LCD instrumentation plus 15.6-inch ‘flat panel’, the sense of technology is simply to overflow the screen.
Power is a safe route, 160kW rear-mounted motor with 56.8kWh battery, 555km range is just right.
And also supports 3.3kW external discharge, camping barbecue magic weapon is it!
Qiyuan A07: a ‘schoolmaster’ with a strong sense of technology
To be honest, the starting price of $135,900 is indeed a little bit more expensive than the first two.
But the price for the configuration, really make people can not help but want to give the wallet ‘loose a buckle’.
With 19-inch wheels, a 15.4-inch centre screen and the latest L2+ intelligent driving system, this is a mobile intelligent terminal that can drive!
The powertrain is even more ‘dry’: the extended-range version has a combined range of 1,330km, and the pure-electric version has a maximum range of 710km.
The most surprising thing is that the charging speed of the 625km version is a ‘rocket’, and it can charge from 30% to 80% in 15 minutes.
This charging efficiency, I'm afraid that even a cup of coffee is not enough time!
These three cars have their own characteristics.
Deep Blue SL03 is suitable for young people who love to play with technology, Star Ocean S7 is more suitable for rationalists who pay attention to cost-effective, and Qiyuan A07 is for those who want to ‘one-step’ audiophile preparation.
However, the choice of car is still different from person to person. In addition to looking at these bright and shiny data, after-sales service and brand reputation must also pay more attention.
After all, it is easy to buy a car, it is difficult to maintain a car, this is an old driver with ‘money’ for the experience ah!
Finally, whether you want to buy early to enjoy, or ready to wait and see, anyway, this wave of B-class new energy vehicles ‘cost-effective war’ may have just begun.
