New Beijing Auto EV400
Electric Sedan
This is the new Beijing Auto EH400,
a full-size electric sedan for China dressed up with a bit of blue in the
grille, because blue = green. The EH400 debuted late last month on the 2016 Beijing Auto
Show. It will cost around 200.000 yuan after
green-car subsidies, but it is unclear when it will hit the market, if ever.
The EH400 is based on the
petrol powered Beijing Auto Senova D80 sedan. The Senova D80 is a strange and
almost illusionary car. It debuted on
the 2014 Guangzhou Auto Show, was shown again on the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show
(pictured), and was officially launched on
the market in April 2015, but it never reached the market.
Back now to the EH400.
Beijing Auto has released some specs: power comes from an electric motor with
140 hp and 260 nm. Range is 400 kilometer and top speed is 140 kilometer per
hour.
The interior comes with a
large touch screen in the center console, some blue decoration, and a trendy
drive-selector button instead of a gear lever. We also know that the
infotainment system is called i-Link™, with ™.
