Euler is rising rapidly in the past two years, with two reasons.

Firstly, it uses a unique naming convention – all models have been renamed to the Cat Series. Secondly, it seizes the trend of new energy vehicles and captivates the attention of many female consumers with its cute appearance. Currently, among the few car clubs which have a number of female car owners that could rival those of the MINI Club, Euler Club is one of them.

After establishing the Cat Series as the foundation, like GTI for Golf and S3 for A3, Euler Cat hopes to launch a performance version. This is a common car model empowerment practice. The initial name was also very much in line with industry regulations, called Euler GT. However, just when everyone thought that Euler would use the “XX Cat” trick again before officially announcing the name, they did the opposite and directly named it after a character – Euler GT officially launched the Mulan version, with a presale price of 138,000 RMB.

Yes, you read it right, it is the Mulan who took her father’s place in the army. This is Euler’s another effort aimed at the female-friendly car sub-market.

As a performance version, Euler GT’s sporty elements are slightly restrained. While maintaining the original car’s exquisite and elegant design style, some sporty elements that are suitable for both men and women have been added.

For example, the redesigned sports package, the front fog lamp area of the vehicle uses decorative L-shaped fangs, and the black horizontal decorative strip and red decorative strip are added under the front bumper to highlight the sports style. The car body and the rear diffuser use carbon fiber-like decorative panels. The side not only has a red brake spray, but also red elements are added to the hub. Overall, the sporty look is harmonious and not artificial.

Euler GT’s interior has not been altered much in layout. With a continuous design and a large size touch screen, the visual effect is relatively simple and convenient to use. As a performance version, Euler GT Mulan version adopts a retro red-and-black color-blocking sports style. Details such as the steering wheel, seats, air conditioning vents, door panel handrails, and seat belts of the GT version are all color-blocked. The official website states that the 3D-Mesh wrapping technique is used in the GT version interior, which can further enhance the overall texture.

Configuration

There is basically no difference in configuration between the GT version and the regular version. What I like most is that the front seats of the GT version have a welcome function, as well as heating, ventilation and massage functions.

In terms of safety configuration, the Good Cat GT Mulan Edition has a complete set of advanced driving assistance systems, including lane change assistance, lane departure warning system, lane keeping assistance system, road traffic sign recognition system, active brake, fatigue driving warning, etc. As a performance version with higher power, the safety configuration is naturally more comprehensive.

Power System

Since it is called a performance version, the most important thing about the Good Cat GT Mulan Edition is naturally the changes in the power system. The power of the electric motor of the regular version of Good Cat is 105 kW, and the peak torque is 210 N·m. The Good Cat GT Mulan Edition replaces it with a more powerful electric motor, which can provide a maximum power of 126 kW and a peak torque of 250 N·m. The official hundred-kilometer acceleration time is 6.9 seconds.

In addition to replacing the electric motor for a more powerful one, the Good Cat GT Mulan Edition also adds an ORA-Launch+™ ejection start function. In SPORT mode, simultaneously press the brake and accelerator pedals to the bottom, and the vehicle will display “ejection mode activated”. Release the brake pedal and the vehicle will complete the ejection.

Endurance

The Good Cat GT is equipped with a 59.1 kWh power battery pack, which is the same as the battery pack capacity of the Good Cat 501 km long-endurance model. But because the electric motor power is stronger, the NEDC range is slightly reduced to 480 km. I think it is acceptable to sacrifice some endurance for more powerful power.

Unanswered Questions

However, I still have some questions here. From the positioning of a sports car, the potential users of the Good Cat GT Mulan Edition are more inclined to male customers. However, the name Mulan is obviously aimed at the female market. Will this discourage male buyers? I hope the market can give me an answer after the launch.
