SAIC-GM-Wuling’s Baojun E200 officially goes on sale in China

Baojun announced that its popular E200 electric vehicle is officially available throughout China. In addition, the electric range of the E200 has been upgraded to 250 kilometres under NEDC conditions.

Two variants are priced at RMB54,800 ($7,672) and RMB64,800 ($9,072). Those who place an order within 30 days can enjoy a special price of RMB49,800 ($6972) and RMB59,800 ($8,372).

The two-seater has an eye-catching exterior characterised by slim headlamps and taillights. They give the E200 an agile and dynamic look when on the road. The stylish interior has a “floating” open instrument panel. It offers a light and lean feeling characteristic of Nordic design.

With a length of 2,497 millimetres, width of 1,526 millimetres and height of 1,616 millimetres, the E200 is only half the size of a regular passenger vehicle. This makes it highly efficient for daily commuting in an urban environment. With a wheelbase of 1,600 millimetres, the E200’s turning radius is only 3.8 metres. This makes it easy to park and make U-turns.

The E200 consists of 42.9% ultra-high-strength and high-strength steel. The cab and battery pack are framed and caged for effective protection. It has passed stringent vehicle crash tests – including 412 extreme tests for the lithium battery pack – to ensure safety, reliability and durability.

The E200 comes with a warranty of eight years or 120,000 kilometres for its battery system. It can be conveniently charged using a 220-volt household outlet.

The Baojun E200 was launched in Liuzhou, Guangxi, in 2018. Sales were expanded to additional selected cities earlier this year. More than 22,200 units had been sold as of the end of last month.

Baojun is a Chinese automobile marque owned by a joint venture of General Motors and SAIC Motor, SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile.
