From design style to price positioning, Panda Knight is expected to have a head-on confrontation with Baojunyue. Although slightly inferior in range, the price difference of nearly 30000 yuan between the two undoubtedly has a huge price advantage in this price range.
On September 15, 2023, a new member of the Geely Panda family, Panda Knight, was officially launched at a price of 53900 yuan. Users who place an order before September 30th can enjoy four official preferential policies as shown in the figure below, including a "new energy limited time subsidy of 1000 yuan to 5000 yuan", which is equivalent to a new car limited time selling price of 49900 yuan
In terms of appearance, the Panda Knight adopts a brand new "Knight Spirit" design language. The Panda Knight has three personalized car colors: white, green, and coffee. It cleverly blends square and round, tough and soft, rough and delicate, and constructs a wild style specifically for the Panda Knight from the outside to the inside.
The unconventional charging suspended front grille has a strong and rugged beauty, combined with off-road elements such as contrasting decorative rings, front cabin decorative handles, and light riding roof contrasting luggage racks, highlighting the off-road atmosphere of the new car. The continuation of panda characteristic elements such as big eyed cute headlights and cute fun C-shaped tail lights brings a strong "contrast cute" effect, with a hard yet cute overall shape, full of power and cute charm.
The new car has a compact body with a length, width, and height of 3135mm * 1565mm * 1655mm, a wheelbase of 2015mm, and a turning radius of only 4m.
The interior of the Panda Knight comes in two colors: green and white, further enhancing the new car's recognition. The leather seat fabric is skin friendly, moderately soft and hard, resistant to dirt and wear, and enhances off-road safety and comfort through an ultra-thick foam layer and ultra-high wing protection. The contour decorative stitching extends infinitely, further enriching the layering of the seats and enhancing the wild atmosphere of the interior.
The new car has technological features such as an 8-inch central control screen and a 9.2-inch vibrant instrument panel. It supports multiple APP remote control functions, including remote car search, vehicle condition inquiry, remote air conditioning on/off, and remote unlocking. It is equipped with intelligent configurations such as mobile wireless connectivity and mobile Bluetooth keys. The car can be accessed and unlocked by using the mobile Bluetooth key, and it can be powered on upon boarding and started upon shifting, making travel more intelligent and convenient.
Thanks to the high space utilization rate, the front and rear head space of the Panda Knight is not oppressed, the leg space is not cramped, and the shoulder space is not crowded. In response to storage needs, the flat rear of the Panda Rider can form an 800L super large space after being folded down, which can accommodate two 28 inch and two 20 inch suitcases at the same time, fully meeting the multi scene needs of daily riding and loading.
In terms of power, the Panda Knight adopts a rear mounted rear wheel drive, equipped with a 17.03kW · h Lithium iron phosphate battery pack, with a pure electric range of 200km, and matched with a 30kW high-efficiency permanent magnet synchronous motor, the motor efficiency reaches 96.5%, and can achieve peak torque of 110N · m.
It is worth mentioning that the Panda Knight is equipped with a fast and slow integrated charging port, which supports the leading 22kW DC fast charging and 3.3kW AC slow charging in the same level. It can support multiple scenarios of charging methods such as commercial fast charging piles, commercial slow charging piles, home charging piles, and on-board charging guns.
In terms of safety, the Panda Rider adopts a cage body structure, equipped with laser welded roof, hot-formed side collision steel beams, cage body, driver's airbag, 2 sets of child safety seat interfaces, tire pressure alarm, and other configurations, providing comprehensive safety protection for drivers and passengers. At the same time, it is also equipped with active safety features such as ABS anti lock braking system, EBD electronic brake force distribution, and hill assist function, as well as BMS intelligent battery management system to protect vehicle safety during all working conditions and all time, making travel safer.
From design style to price positioning, Panda Knight is expected to have a head-on confrontation with Baojunyue. Although slightly inferior in endurance, the price difference of nearly 30000 yuan between the two undoubtedly has a huge price advantage in this price range
