JiYue

JIDU, aka JiYue, a Chinese EV brand focused on delivering all-electric “robocars” to the masses, has unveiled its latest model, and it’s quite a deviation from its previous EVs—but in the best way. Earlier today, JiYue launched the ROBO X supercar, designed for high-speed racing. By high speed, we mean 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 1.9 seconds. My mouth is watering.

Media out of China reports that JiYue’s second all-electric model, the 07, has reached some local showrooms and will officially launch in September. Advertised as a fierce competitor to the Tesla Model 3, the JiYue 07 will arrive in multiple powertrain and battery size options, offering impressive (CLTC) range options.

A new electric fastback, the JiYue 07, was unveiled this week after winning the 2023 German Red Dot and iF design awards. The new electric sedan will take on Tesla’s Model 3 sitting atop the same platform that powers the Volvo EX90 and EX30 models.
