Reference data

Specs explained

High-value published parameters are shown only where the current visible trims provide them.

China list price

CN¥189,800–CN¥238,800

The published China list-price range shows the entry point and how far upper trims extend. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Above average among comparable series with sufficient data

CLTC range

150–281 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

WLTC range

116–205 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Battery capacity

25.57–38.88 kWh

Battery capacity helps explain range potential, weight and charging needs. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

DC charging power

110 kW

Peak DC power indicates charging capability, while an actual stop also depends on the charging curve and conditions. Published for 4 current trims, so a full-line conclusion is hidden.

Maximum power

134–200 kW

Published maximum power helps frame acceleration capability and overtaking reserve. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Above average among comparable series with sufficient data

Maximum torque

280–300 N·m

Torque is one input to initial response; calibration, gearing and traction also matter. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

0–100 km/h

7.9–8.8 sec

A lower published 0–100 km/h time indicates quicker straight-line acceleration. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Mid-pack among comparable series with sufficient data

Drivetrain

Front-wheel drive

Drivetrain changes traction and can separate entry and performance trims. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Seats

7

Seat count is a capacity fact, not proof of passenger comfort. The published value is the same across all current trims.

Length

4,920–5,000 mm

Length affects road footprint and parking space; it does not directly prove cabin room. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Mid-pack among comparable series with sufficient data

Width

1,900 mm

Width affects road and parking footprint and may support shoulder room, without proving it. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Wheelbase

2,930–3,000 mm

Wheelbase is a packaging dimension and is not used alone as a ride-comfort conclusion. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Mid-pack among comparable series with sufficient data

Body style

MPV

Body style helps frame access and cargo layout, but exact usability still depends on the vehicle. The published value is the same across all current trims.
