Baojun E100 EV For China
New photos of the Baojun E100,
a new electric
city car for China. The E100 was expected
for debut on the Beijing Auto Show in April but didn’t show. It will instead
launch on the Chengdu Auto Show next month.
The E100 will be very
cheap, price after subsidies will start around 40.000 yuan. Details of the
drivetrain are still scarce; all we know is that the E100 will have a range of
100 kilometer and a top speed of 100 kilometer per hour. Hence the name.
The E100 is the first of
a range of new electric vehicles under the Baojun brand. They are also working
on another small one with
a BMW i syndrome.
The interior looks
properly agricultural, and a load less pretty than
the interior we saw earlier on in a
development car. That car almost looked like
a Smart competitor.
Two tone color scheme is
not uncool. Wheel covers are hip. And it has those odd roof rails. Earlier on
we speculated they were part of some fancy new charging system.
