However, even though new energy vehicles have been developing rapidly for five or six years, there are still not many pure electric models for consumers to choose from at prices below 200,000 yuan. Everyone knows this is the future, it just depends on who takes the first step. WM Motor, one of the new established car-making forces, recently launched a pure electric mid-size sedan: WM Motor's new E.5.
The new car focuses on large space and long battery life, and will be officially launched at the 2022 Beijing Auto Show. We have also recently taken a first look at this car, let’s take a look.

The appearance of the whole vehicle is relatively simple and elegant. The front face shape is somewhat different from the current Weimar SUV models. The main differences are in the shape of the lamp group and the front surround.
As for the light set, the configuration of the actual model is relatively ordinary, with halogen headlights and LED daytime running lights. Connected to the light set and LOGO are through-type black decorations. Article, the LOGO design continues the characteristics of the Weimar model: different color changes allow the driver to judge the battery level outside the car. Below the license plate frame is a large ACC adaptive cruise sensor. Generally speaking, the front face design elements are not many, but It's quite harmonious.
The side shape of the car body is relatively rounded, and a through-type waistline directly connects the front and rear light groups. Due to the relatively high proportion of the entire axle, we can also see that the new WM E.5 has the characteristics of short front and rear overhangs.
Although it is mainly for home use, the new Weimar E.5 still adds a lot of blackening to the appearance. Elements: such as blackened trim strips on the front and rear, 18-inch two-color wheels, etc., to increase the sporty appearance of the vehicle. The actual vehicle uses 225/50 R18 Chaoyang tires, which focus on quietness and comfort. The design highlight on the side is a black trim strip at the C-pillar to create the visual effect of a floating roof.
The rear shape of the new Weimar E.5 will be thicker and the sense of layering will be more distinct. At the rear, a black trim strip runs through the left and right taillights, visually stretching the lateral width of the vehicle. In addition, the blackened taillights adopt an X shape inside, which makes them easy to spot when lit.

Considering practicality, some physical buttons are also retained under the center console. In addition, the car There are USB sockets in the front row, making it easy to set up external devices such as mobile phones.
