Technological Innovation and Iteration: Standard Matching is Full Matching

　　 In today's market, the demand for light passenger vehicles is constantly upgrading and evolving, gradually getting rid of the single positioning of the traditional transportation tool, and transforming towards householdization and passengerization. TUANO Grand V accurately grasps the market demand, and the overall design style is closer to that of a passenger MPV, with an atmospheric simplicity.

　　 In the front face, TUANO Grand V adopts a unique "V" design, and the whole car has smooth lines and is full of modernity. Interior, the center is equipped with a 12.3-inch center control screen, which not only displays rich content, but also cleverly integrates with the air conditioning vents and penetrating decorations to enhance the overall aesthetics. It is worth mentioning that for the first time, the car is equipped with a four-way adjustable multifunction steering wheel and electronic power steering system as standard, which is not only more energy-saving at low speeds, but also safer at high speeds.

　　 In addition, the TUANO Grand V also boasts three core advantages: "leaping space design", "extreme low energy consumption technology" and "MPV-level driving control".

The center door adopts a sunken step design, reducing the height to 409mm, and the tailgate is 581mm off the ground, of which the tailgate floor is the lowest in the industry, so both passengers get in and out of the car or the trunk will be more relaxed to take items.

　　 Not only the driving control is light, but also the ride can be more comfortable. 700mm seat backrest distance, 200mm leg space, so that passengers can enjoy the VIP-like independent space, leather all-wrapped seats are comfortable, breathable, and full of class. 520mm length of the luggage area, can be stored in eight 24-inch suitcases, commercial and passenger use are both very promising.

　　 In terms of chassis, the TUANO Big V adopts a super chassis "comparable to MPV-level tuning settings". Compared with traditional light buses, its cornering roll has been reduced by 18%, which makes high-speed emergency obstacle avoidance easier; and the impact of bumps has been reduced by 21%, which provides a smoother driving experience. In addition, the TUANO Big V also has two types of chassis, passenger and cargo, which are professionally tuned according to the differences in scenarios to meet the needs of different users.

Relying on the extreme low energy consumption technology and efficient operation quality, TUANO Big V will serve Baiyun Airport, the "South Gate of Civil Aviation", and help the high-quality transformation of Guangzhou's culture and tourism, and drive the new-generation high-end light passenger standard to the ground in a comprehensive way.

　　 The TUANO Big V has been honed and refined for thousands of years, and is now ready to grow. TUANO Big V upholds the concept of creating and sharing value with customers, truly realizing the promise of "affordable and accessible", and casting a new generation of high-end light buses as a benchmark.
