When it comes to the “Fast and Furious” series, many people think of muscular bald men and cool cars. In real life, for car companies, models that focus on performance are almost exclusively designed for men. However, Eureka brings a different choice for women.
On June 17th, Eureka released its 2022 Eureka Cat GT 401km version with a range, with a guide price of ¥149,000, through an online live broadcast.
As a new energy brand targeting female users, Eureka selected an outdoor lawn as the venue for the press conference and decorated it with flowers and balloons, which is completely different from the traditional car companies’ lighting and sense of technology, to cater to its audience.
However, the Eureka Cat GT actually deviates from the common definition of female-oriented models on the market. It is the brand’s first positioning of a “pure electric female-oriented sports car,” and the long-range version has been on the market since August last year.
The version launched by Eureka this time is a 401km range version suitable for urban travel, which switches from the previous ternary lithium battery to lithium iron phosphate battery. The price is 20,000 yuan cheaper than the long-range version. However, it still retains the 6.9 seconds 0-100 km/h acceleration and sprint start mode of the long-range version in terms of performance.
On the basis of the previous red and black interior color scheme, the 2022 Eureka Cat GT 401km version has added four new interior color schemes of green rice, blue-gray, green-gray, and brown-gray, and also with five new exterior colors of armor gray, battle robe white, heroine red, distant Dai black, and loyal and brave blue.
In terms of appearance, the 2022 Eureka Cat GT 401km version adopts the classic design of the Cat GT model, with retro and futuristic sexy curves, as well as the application of details such as the 360° carbon fiber cool package, L-shaped hunting outfit fangs, 18-inch claw-colored wheels, and GT exclusive sports spoiler.
In terms of intelligent devices, the 2022 Eureka Cat GT (including the 401km and 480km versions) comes standard with body stability system, 360° panoramic fusion image, reversing radar, and OTA vehicle remote upgrade service, etc.
On this basis, there are also two optional “equipment enhancement BUFF” packages that can upgrade the intelligent cockpit and intelligent auxiliary driving.
ORA-Cabin comfort enhancement BUFF includes functions such as fatigue driving monitoring, foot-kick sensing electric rear door, voiceprint recognition interaction, comfort mode, memory settings for the driver’s seat + welcome function + heating + ventilation + massage; the front passenger seat has 4-way electric adjustment + ventilation + heating + massage, etc., enhancing the quality of the vehicle experience.
ORA-Pilot intelligent driving enhancement BUFF covers three dimensions of driving assistance, active safety, and parking assistance, integrating advanced intelligent driving assistance functions such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), intelligent cornering (ATC), intelligent cruise control assistance (ICA), front collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB), blind spot monitoring (BSD), lane departure warning (LDW), etc. It also has functions such as AI automatic parking, mobile remote control one-key parking, and intelligent track reversing.
