SAIC R Auto MARVEL R: Don’t Always Think About Tesla, Find Other Rivals
SAIC R Auto may not be a brand with a long history, but with the R&D experience and products acquired from the SAIC Group, it has now introduced three models: MARVEL R, ER6, and ES33 (pre-sale). Today, we will be test driving the MARVEL R model.
This car, both in terms of appearance, seating, and driving, is very similar to a gasoline car, and this is one of its advantages. Being like a gasoline car means that the general public who choose this car do not need to spend too much time adapting to it. Unlike some of the new forces in the market, which may seem impressive at first glance, but on the road can feel that the car weight and suspension tuning do not match, and the body is prone to unnecessary shaking. The power output is also tuned to have a gentle start and a quick acceleration, making it easy for even gasoline car drivers to get used to it.
The same goes for the seating space, the relatively low ground clearance, and the scientific seating position all resemble a traditional gasoline SUV. For traditional gasoline car owners, whether or not to choose this car depends on whether they can accept new energy vehicles and this brand, the other aspects won’t differ much from a gasoline car.
By the way, on the MARVEL R forum, I found many threads that said “giving up on Tesla and choosing this car.” It was these threads that initially created a different impression of this car in my mind, and I thought it was aiming to compete with Tesla, perhaps in the same class as the MODEL 3 or MODEL Y. But after trying it out, I confirmed that it is completely different from Tesla, and it has its own counterparts.
As for the most direct competitor, the video below has the answer.
