  • Leading rear legroom among midsize cars at the same price point
  • Rear seat cushion length is average, with insufficient thigh support

Space & practicality

Paying more does not buy a larger body or longer wheelbase.

All current trims use the same key body dimensions, so trim choice changes equipment and performance rather than cabin size.

Published evidence

  • Seating capacity: 5 seats.
  • Body length: 4,725 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • Wheelbase: 2,880 mm, unchanged by trim.
  • Audio system — Standard across all trims.
  • Keyless access — Standard across all trims.
  • Low electricity consumption per hundred kilometers (11kWh), economical to use
  • The battery capacity is only 49.9kWh, so charging needs to be planned for long journeys
  • Daily commuting requires charging only every two to three weeks, with low usage costs
  • Below average for length across 49 series
  • Leading for wheelbase across 49 series

Smart tech & daily use

Core connected features are standard across the lineup.

Only formally defined connected, assistance, parking and display parameters are included.

Published evidence

  • Driver assistance — Standard across all trims.
  • Center screen — Standard across all trims.
  • OTA updates — Standard across all trims.
  • Connected car services — Standard across all trims.
  • Voice control — Standard across all trims.
  • Standard L2 level TSS 3.0, lane centering remains stable, but lacks advanced features such as automatic lane changing; the central control screen responds smoothly and has comprehensive functions, but the interface design is slightly complex.
  • Standard across the range, high safety
  • No automatic lane changing function with turn signals

Reference data

Specs explained

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

China list price

CN¥109,800–CN¥199,800

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.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

CLTC range

510–616 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

49.9–65.3 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

70–90 kW

Peak DC power indicates charging capability, while an actual stop also depends on the charging curve and conditions. This parameter changes with trim choice; compare the key trims before deciding.

Maximum power

135–180 kW

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

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Maximum torque

303 N·m

Torque is one input to initial response; calibration, gearing and traction also matter. The published value is the same across all current trims.

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

5

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

Length

4,725 mm

Length affects road footprint and parking space; it does not directly prove cabin room. It is the same across all current trims, so paying more does not change this cabin-packaging dimension.

Below average among comparable series with sufficient data

Width

1,835 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

2,880 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.

Leading among comparable series with sufficient data

Body style

Sedan

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.
