Europe’s Rigor, China’s Affordability
Born from Jiangling’s joint venture with Renault, the Yichi 05 targets developing markets with a “no-frills excellence” approach. Its structure passes stringent EU crash tests, while aggressive pricing—enabled by China’s EV subsidies—makes it a disruptor in emerging economies.
Silent Aggression
Muted Palette, Bold Silhouette: Low-saturation blues, greens, and purples complement a coupe-like roofline (0.267Cd drag coefficient). Split headlights with “戟” (halberd) LED signatures and flush door handles project sophistication .
Practical Touches: Integrated charging ports (right fender) support 25-minute 30-80% DC fast charging. The 2㎡ panoramic roof (optional) floods the cabin with light .
Thoughtful Minimalism
Tech Suite: A 10.25-inch dash display + 12.3-inch touchscreen handle infotainment, with gesture control reducing driver distraction. Column shifter frees console space for Qi wireless charging .
Human-Centric Details:
Rear AC vents house physical media controls;
Driver’s 6-way power seats + passenger 4-way adjustment;
Fold-flat rear seats expand trunk from 410L to 1830L (fits skis/camping gear) .
Comfort Focus: NVH optimization cuts cabin noise by 5dB. Dual-tone blue/white upholstery uses durable synthetics .
Pragmatic Intelligence
L2.5 Driving Aid: Lane centering, adaptive cruise, and 540° panoramic cameras ease urban commutes .
Connectivity Gaps: App remote control (AC/pre-charge) works reliably, but lacks built-in ride-hailing app support .
Comfort Meets Control
Tuned for Real Roads: MacPherson front + multi-link rear suspension, calibrated by UK’s Mira Ltd., soaks up potholes without floatiness. Tradeoff: moderate body roll in corners .
Regen Flexibility: 3 adjustable levels—Level 1 mimics ICE coasting, reducing motion sickness .
Braking Prowess: WCBS brake-by-wire system achieves 37.5m 100-0km/h stops .
The Silent Majority Speaks
Ride-Hailing Pro: “455km real-world range lasts 7 AM–10 PM shifts. Charging costs ¥0.06/km—I save ¥3000/month!”
Family User: “Fits a stroller AND camping gear. Road trips are stress-free now.”
Gripes: Manual trunk release; occasional infotainment lag .
Commercial-Vehicle Toughness
Fortress Construction: 44 hot-stamped steel panels (1500MPa, 71% body-in-white) form a “rolling safety cell” ;
Extreme-Weather Ready: Battery passes IP68 waterproofing and -30°C cold-start tests .
Verdict: The People’s EV
The Yichi 05 isn’t about gimmicks—it’s about delivering ¥150,000 value at ¥90,000 price. By focusing on safety, space, and efficiency over flashy tech, it speaks directly to the pragmatic majority. In an industry obsessed with specs, Jiangling reminds us: True innovation is making excellence accessible.
