Slotting above the E100 and E200, the electric vehicle sports a futuristic design that combines sharp edges with soft creases and kind of reminds us of the Honda E up front ... The automaker said that the front bumper “echoes the pattern of radar waves” and that the lower part of the doors is scratch-proof. The car is 2,625 mm (103.3 in) long, 1,647 mm (64.8 in) wide and 1,588 mm (62.5 in) tall, with a 1,750 mm (68.9 in) wheelbase and 12-inch wheels wrapped in 145/70 tires. While very few details were shared through the company’s press release, local media reports that it will launch later this year with two, three or four seats. And before claustrophobia gets the best of you, the latter will be an extended wheelbase version likely named E300+ with a 30 percent more powerful electric engine at around 55 HP. GM’s subsidiary said that the cabin will sport a minimalist styling, with a two-spoke steering wheel located in front of a floating instrument panel, air vents, buttons and not much else. Additional details about the interior features, boot capacity and so on have yet to be released. Power comes from a tiny electric motor that kicks out 39 hp and is fed by a 16.8 kWh lithium-ion battery. Again, the joint venture refrained from announcing official specs like acceleration, top speed, total range and charging time, but they will do so before the E300 goes on sale. It is estimated that it will cost between 60,000 and 70,000 yuan in the People’s Republic, after a government subsidy, which equals to $8,717 and $10,170 at today’s exchange rates.
