Another Chinese EV, The BAW Yuanbao, Has arrived

BAW has introduced the Yuanbao, a compact electric vehicle designed specifically for the Chinese market. The BAW Yuanbao has a design that is easy to recognize due to its two-box shape, squared lighting units, compact 13-inch wheels, and clear styling.

According to Car News China, the word Yuanbao refers to a form of gold and silver ingot that was utilized in imperial China. This ingot was a symbol of prosperity and might in China at the time.

The fully digital cockpit consists of two 10.25-inch displays mounted on a single panel. The streamlined dashboard has integrated vents for the temperature control system, highlights in the color of the body, and a storage net. The two-spoke steering wheel has controls incorporated into it and has a very straightforward appearance.

The model comes standard with features like a camera that captures a full 360 degrees, parking sensors, anti-lock brakes, and hill-start assist, but only the top model has airbags. Even though it has a compact size, the Yuanbao can accommodate four people inside.

The BAW Yuanbao is equipped with an electric motor that generates 27 horsepower and 62.7 lb-ft of torque, enabling a peak speed of 62 miles per hour. Depending on the model, the battery has a capacity of either 9.6 kWh or 13.6 kWh, allowing a range of either 75 miles or 106 miles. In China, the BAW Yuanbao costs between ¥33,900 and ¥49,900 ($5,060 and $7,450).
