At the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, which opens today, Chevrolet Boundary finder EV officially appeared.

It has a fashionable and sporty appearance and a super smart configuration. Officially, Explorer EV will uphold the brand's global consistent safe and reliable product quality to bring consumers a more intelligent, efficient and environmentally friendly car experience.
The design concept of explorer EV is deeply rooted in "vitality aesthetics", that is, "Lean Humanity", which aims to create an image full of vitality and power. This concept is reflected in every detail of the appearance design, making the vehicle present a dynamic aesthetic feeling and strength tension like life. At the same time, the design team takes into account the dual needs of "high performance" and "full function" to ensure that the vehicle has excellent traffic capacity and stable body posture while highlighting its sporting characteristics.
The front face design of the explorer EV is highly recognizable, with the theme of showing strength and speed. Its Obsidian black crystal drill moving grille adopts a diamond honeycomb structure and has the function of automatically adjusting the opening and closing, which can effectively reduce the wind resistance while improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the vehicle and help to improve the driving range. The grid and LED headlights on both sides are separated by black crystal carbon fiber decorative strips, forming a rich sense of visual hierarchy and a distinctive scientific and technological atmosphere.
Split LED headlamp - Sharpeye split LED headlamp adopts advanced light source technology to provide bright and accurate lighting effect and ensure safe driving at night. In addition, the through LED daytime running light traverses the front face, greatly broadening the visual width, enhancing the horizontal extension of the front face, and making the explorer EV feel more present on the road.
From the side, the explorer EV presents a streamlined sedan and SUV shape, and the characteristic lines depict a distinct sense of movement and strength. The body waistline design uses the shadow and highlight contrast ingeniously to highlight the three-dimensional sense of the side skirt. The upper line gradually tightens to the rear of the car, creating a very personalized and aerodynamic body contour. This design not only improves the visual appeal, but also helps improve the endurance by reducing the wind resistance.
The obsidian suspension two-color roof design in the RS obsidian sports appearance kit creates a strong visual impact through two-color matching. The 64 ° high angle front windscreen not only reduces the wind resistance, but also provides a wider front view in combination with the space design. The hidden door handle of Fashion Phantom adopts electric control, multiple commands trigger unlocking, and built-in ice breaking function, which not only reduces wind resistance, improves aesthetics, but also ensures the convenience of use in cold weather.
The 20 inch Obsidian six spoke sports wheel hub is equipped with Goodyear high-performance tires, which not only shows luxury, sports and modernity, but also strengthens the vehicle's grip and driving stability.
The rear design is also brilliant. The Phantom streamer through lamp set and the super speed neon through lamp are both equipped with ice diamond blue rhythmic charging indicators. Inspired by the gem cutting, each lamp bead is crystal clear, and when lit, the streamer is colorful, giving the explorer EV a unique recognition under the night. The hairpin shape inside the tail lamp is a tribute to the Chevrolet track gene. 118 tail lamp LED beads, 52 position lamp LED beads and 90 charge indicator LED beads are precisely arranged to jointly create the unique dynamic animation effect of welcome, departure and charge indicator of Explorer EV, showing the blend of technology and art.
In terms of interior design, the Explorer EV and the Pioneer EV show a high degree of consistency. Both adopt a dual screen layout, that is, a 11 inch full LCD dashboard and another central control touch screen of the same size are seamlessly spliced together to create a strong scientific and technological atmosphere. The new car is also equipped with a large number of comfort and convenience configurations. For example, the steering wheel heating function is equipped to cope with cold weather driving, the dual temperature zone automatic air conditioning ensures that the temperature in each area of the car is independently regulated, the electric tailgate improves the loading convenience, and the panoramic sunroof introduces more natural light for the cabin. It is worth mentioning that the new car will use a 17.7 inch large central control screen, with very good visual effects and interactive experience. In addition, the Explorer EV is also equipped with the advanced Super Cruise automatic driving assistance system, which brings users an intelligent and safe driving experience.
In terms of power system, Explorer EV provides diversified power configuration options to meet the driving needs of different consumers. The basic model is equipped with a single motor rear drive system, with a maximum power of 157 kW and a peak torque of 327 Nm, which is suitable for daily urban commuting and long-distance travel. For users who are pursuing stronger performance, the dual motor four-wheel drive version is an ideal choice. Its comprehensive output power is up to 216 kW, and the maximum torque is increased to 469 Nm, ensuring that the vehicle can show excellent dynamic response and driving stability under various road conditions.
