JAC iEV7
JAC is going EV-crazy. The Chinese brand
will debut three new electric
cars on
the Beijing
Auto Show. The
largest among these is this JAC iE7, an electric sedan based on the
upcoming JAC Refine A60. The JAC iE7 will be launched on the Chinese
car market sometime in the fourth quarter.
Power comes from an electric motor with 148 hp and 330 nm, mated to a 145Ah/55.2kWh battery. Top speed is 160 km/h, 0-50 km/h takes 5 seconds and 0-100 km/h takes 11 seconds. Range is a very decent 320 kilometer. Speed is heavy influenced by weight; the iEV7 weights a hefty 1880 kilo (curb). Dimension size as the A60: 4995/1890/1503 mm, and wheelbase is 2915 mm.
However, even if this particular car is just a prop, that does not mean
the whole project is a fake. JAC already has two electric cars on the market,
with the JAC iEV5 being a big success, these things are
really all over the place. So we bet the iEV7 is for real as well.
