The JAC-Volkswagen joint venture has begun taking pre-orders for the compact-sized electric hatchback named Sol E10X, one of the most affordable EVs on the market.
The newcomer shares the underpinnings with
the JAC iEV6E and comes equipped with McPherson struts (front) and a
semi-dependent axle (rear). It is mere 3,650 mm long, 1,670 mm wide and 1,495
mm tall with a wheelbase spanning 2,390 mm.
Buyers can choose between two electric
motors rated at 41 PS and 61 PS. The max torque
amounts to 95 Nm and 150 Nm, respectively. Both are
capped at 102 km/h and drive the front axle. A 15-kWh
traction battery is provided for 150 km of NEDC-rated range,
although you could opt for the more expensive 19.7- and 30.2-kWh variants. The
charger port lies concealed in the front left fender.
There are seven trim levels to choose
from. The simplest one includes an AC, a single airbag, ABS, Isofix, power
windows, and power mirrors. Higher trim levels add a second airbag, ESP,
imitation leather, keyless entry and launch, cruise control, an infotainment
system with voice command support and OTA updates, a wirless charger, USD
slots, and more. The cabin can accommodate either four or five passengers.
Prices range from 39,900 to 78,900 Chinese
Yuan. The main competitors of the model include Wuling MiniEV (28,800 – 38,800
CNY) and Baojun E300 (64,800 – 84,800 CNY).
