What is the C16 like to drive and use every day?

Only current English content and deterministic published facts are shown. Dimensions are not treated as proof of ride comfort.

Driving & performance

Performance changes meaningfully with trim choice.

Published power, acceleration and drivetrain show how performance changes across trims; they do not replace an untranslated road-test verdict.

Published evidence

  • Published power spans 170–230 kW across current trims.
  • Published 0–100 km/h times span 6.37–8.6 sec 0–100 km/h.
  • Drivetrain choices: Rear-wheel drive.
  • Light and quick start, abundant daily power; ample motor power, confident reacceleration at high speeds.
  • Occasional jolts in power connection when the range extender kicks in
  • The motor responds quickly, allowing for smooth overtaking in the city; moderate acceleration capability on the highway.

Reference data

Specs explained

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

China list price

CN¥145,800–CN¥181,800

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.

CLTC range

200–630 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.

WLTC range

134–185 km

A protocol-labelled laboratory rating for comparing trims; it is not a guaranteed real-world distance. Published for 8 current trims, so a full-line conclusion is hidden.

Battery capacity

28.4–81.9 kWh

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

Maximum power

170–230 kW

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

Maximum torque

320–360 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

6.37–8.6 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.

Drivetrain

Rear-wheel drive

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

Seats

5–6

Seat count is a capacity fact, not proof of passenger comfort. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Length

4,915–4,925 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.

Width

1,905 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

2,825 mm

Wheelbase is a packaging dimension and is not used alone as a ride-comfort conclusion. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Body style

SUV

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.
