If you pay attention to the recent sales charts, you will find an interesting phenomenon: the real sales champion is often not the Model Y that major car companies are shouting to compare, but those pure electric small cars that are more affordable and practical.

Taking the sales data for August as an example, the Geely Xingyuan, which went public last year, sold over 46000 units, surpassing the Model Y and becoming the best-selling model without any attribution. As a result, while major car manufacturers are eyeing the Model Y, they are also turning their attention to the pure electric small car market, and a fierce attack has already begun. In the past year, many popular models have been born in this category. We have found three recently launched pure electric cars. If you are also considering buying a car recently, you can follow our shopping guide to see if there is a suitable one for you. For the specific models with basic parameters, we have selected three recently launched new cars: MG4, Arctic Fox T1, and Binguo S.

In terms of configuration selection, referring to the main sales version of Geely Xingyuan, we have also selected the entry-level models of each of these three cars to see which one has more low-end materials. As usual, let's start with the size comparison.

It is not difficult to see that the dimensions of the three cars also correspond to their prices. In terms of storage capacity, as all three cars adopt a front wheel drive layout, the option of a front spare box is not provided. Among the three, the cheapest Binguo S is actually the only model that supports 4:6 folding down, and has the largest capacity of 1450L after folding down the seats. At the same time, it also provides hooks in many details inside the car, optimizing as much storage space as possible in limited space.

Power Comparison

In terms of power, all three cars coincidentally adopt a front wheel drive layout that leans towards a "grocery shopping car" setting, with the MG4 having the highest motor power. However, I personally feel a bit regretful that compared to the old rear wheel drive MG4, the new model with front wheel drive undoubtedly lacks some driving pleasure, but at the same time, you get a larger trunk. As for whether this is worth it or not, I believe everyone will have different opinions. In terms of tire specifications, they all adopt a style of steel wheel hub and plastic wheel hub cover, among which the Arctic Fox T1 has the most advantage in tire width.

In terms of suspension, the three cars priced around 60000 yuan all adopt a front MacPherson and rear torsion beam structure, and the MG4 also has an additional comfortable braking function that can suppress brake nodding, which can reduce passenger dizziness to a certain extent. In terms of battery life, MG4 has obvious advantages. Even the most entry-level version comes standard with a 42.8-degree battery pack, which can achieve a leading range of 437km in the same class. In terms of charging speed, the Jihu T1 equipped with a 33.4-degree battery can complete 30% -80% fast charging at a faster speed.

It is worth mentioning that the charging ports of all three cars are located on the front fender, so you may have to park your car with your butt facing outwards while charging, which can be quite awkward. Intelligent configuration comparison

Next is the comparison of intelligent configurations, let's start with MG4 first. Although this year's all-new MG4 brings us a smart car infotainment system in collaboration with OPPO, driven by the 8155 chip, it supports intelligent functions such as hand car connectivity and voice assistants; And high-end models even have high-speed NOA capability. However, on this most entry-level model, its intelligent configuration is considered "mediocre".

It is equipped with a 7-inch LCD combination instrument panel and a 10.25-inch widescreen car infotainment screen. The system functions are relatively simple and do not support features such as car networking, voice assistants, and navigation; Assisted driving is only equipped with the ability of cruise control. However, this system provides CarPlay, CarLife, HUAWEI HiCar, and Carlink mobile connectivity protocols, which can be considered as giving the task of the smart car machine to the car owner's phone.

The Arctic Fox T1 and Binguo S are both popular combinations of full LCD instrument panel and large-sized LCD screen; In terms of resolution, the former is 1080P, while the latter is 2K. In terms of functionality, both cars support voice assistants, remote control, mobile Bluetooth keys, and hand to car connectivity. Finally, in terms of assisted driving, both cars only offer the most basic cruise control, but the top of the line model of the Arctic Fox T1 also provides relatively higher-level functions such as ACC. Comfort configuration comparison

Finally, regarding the comparison of other configurations, the four cars also emphasize the principle of 'enough is enough' in this section. For example, the number of speakers can only be "heard", the seat configuration can only be manually adjusted, and the air conditioning system is limited to blowing cold and hot air... Among them, after allocating more budget to the large battery stack range, MG4 not only "cuts off" the intelligent car machine, but also has "precise cutting" in comfort configuration.

Compared to the other two models, the MG4 seats are made of fabric material, with a plastic steering wheel and no automatic wipers. But at the same time, it has additional features such as active tire pressure display and heated rearview mirrors.

The Arctic Fox T1 uses faux leather seats and steering wheel. Although it has a more luxurious appearance, it does not have ventilation and heating functions. It is recommended to turn on the air conditioning before getting on the car in summer and winter. It is worth mentioning that the Arctic Fox T1 also continues the design concept of the brand's "mother and baby car". The interior materials of the car are equipped with adsorption and degradation materials as standard, and according to official statements, it can achieve air quality close to "0 benzene and 0 formaldehyde". As for the lowest priced Binguo S, it has "castrated" the heat pump system and rear exhaust vents that can improve air conditioning heating efficiency in winter, and the one touch window lift is only available for the driver.

It has chosen to allocate the budget for commonly used features such as 6-speaker, makeup mirror lighting, 50W wireless phone charging, and rear seat proportional folding. At the end, I believe that by reading this, everyone should have a more detailed understanding of these three cars. Finally, let's summarize the "power-saving version": if you care most about the endurance, MG4 is considered to have the most sufficient battery capacity in its class, with a range of 437km, which is more reliable for daily commuting and even cross city use; But at the same time, it is relatively cost-effective in terms of intelligence and comfort configuration, suitable for users who are practical and not too dependent on car infotainment functions. The Arctic Fox T1 emphasizes balance more, with a good car experience, interior functions, and material quality. At the same time, it continues the brand's "mother and baby car" concept, which is particularly advantageous for mothers or family users who pay more attention to health. If your budget is more limited or you just want a commuting car, the Binguo S is undoubtedly the most cost-effective option. It has the lowest price, but it is very practical in terms of space, storage details, and some thoughtful small functions, making it very suitable for use as the first car for young families.
