The GAC Enverge Concept has a futuristic design, as many of today's electric cars carry. Its front end appears without a grille, allowing the GAC to attach a large-sized car's emblem on the front of the vehicle, while a long narrow headlights encases the entire front end.
The front of the GAC Enverge Concept looks like an 'angry snake,' so it looks aggressive enough for an electric-powered crossover. And then the Enverge also has a 'narrowing' back end like the Toyota Prius with the tailllight design that look wraps around the back.
While in the car's interior, the GAC Enverge is equipped with a Formula 1-inspired steering wheel, with several buttons that are within the reach of the driver. Instead of pinning a traditional dashboard, the car is fitted with a large-sized flatscreen that provides important information such as speed, navigation, and so on.
The Enverge Concept also has a panoramic glass that is supported with a system that able to take the information about the objects those around the vehicle and then the information is displayed on the panoramic glass.
Then for the car's performance, these GAC car concept is equipped with a 71 kWh battery that can make the car can be driven as far as 370 miles (about 595 km) in a single battery charge, where for 10 minutes of the battery charging allows the Enverge to travel as far as 240 miles or approximately 387 km. And reportedly, the wireless charging system will also be available for the version production.
The GAC Enverge Concept is claimed to have the power of up to 240 horsepower, and can accelerate from rest to 60 mph in less than 4.5 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 99 mph or about 160 km/h. Just for information, the time taken from 0-60 mph was quite equivalent to that ever tested on Tesla Model 3.
As is known that GAC Motors currently status as a China gov-owned company, makes they will use a new brand if the their plan to expand into the US automotive market are really done. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BUSSINESS INSIDER | THE VERGE | NEWS.COM.AU]
