Li Xiang ONE Launched In China
The Li Xiang ONE is a new four-wheel drive range-extender electric SUV. The brand is new as well, named after its founder, Mr. Li Xiang. The English name is Leading Ideal. The brand is owned by a company called CHJ Automotive.
We know much more about the car now: it is powered by a 1.2 liter turbocharged 3-pot petrol engine at the front, and an electric motor at the rear. Total output is 326 hp and 530 Nm. The company claims a NEDC range of 700... kilometers, and an EV-only range of 180 kilometers.
The petrol engine is a range-extender for the electric motor, it does not directly power the wheels.
Charging takes 40 minutes on a fast-charger for 80% battery. A full charge at 200V takes 6 hours. Battery capacity is 40.6 kWh, available power 37.2 kWh.
Size:5020/1960/1760mm, and wheelbase is 2935mm.
There will be a six-seat and a seven-seat variant. The interior is loaded with screens, and the infotainment runs on Android Auto, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820A processor. The ONE will be equipped with a Level 2 Autonomous Driving system.
Very impressive stuff, but even more impressive is the price. Li Xiang says it will cost just under 400,000 yuan or $57,000. That seems a good deal. But we got to wait, because the Li Xiang ONE will launch only in Q4 2019.
So what do you think? Worth the wait, or would you rather buy a NIO now?
