The $12,000 Baojun Yep Uncomfortable, Impractical, And Amazing 

So tired of living in a socialist left wing nanny state like America with our politicians so bribery dependent from the big three automakers here .

Bigger wheels(diff altered to suit), custom different battery, air suspension, 4x4 option... as a modifying package is not impossible...

Jimny EV 2030

Any small EV would be perfect for Hawaii since range wouldn't really be a concern. But don't people actually rent 4x4s to go off road on some of the islands? This thing has no off road capability whatsoever despite its looks.

@@tren133 You have hit it on the nail! There WAS some interest here on O'ahu, but over the years, we residents have begun to frown on off-road activities. Hawai'i and Maui were places to go, but there are cultural issues that Native Hawaiians bring up which may see an end to off-roading on those islands, too. Kaua'i has frowned on that sort of thig, too. All we've got, really, is sitting in cars and playing with smartphones. THIS car would do well under those circumstance. I REALLY liked the Mitsubishi i-MiEV when it was introduced here in 2012 or so. Perfectly sized...but I personally have much more range on my pedal bike than that car had. THIS car has great range for this island. If only we could relax safety standards or designate a "kei-class" like the Japanese have into which these little EV runabouts could flourish here...

Well this is Toyota ev Crusier

This one going to be ev Crusier of Toyota

YES! I'm just outside of Boston and let me tell you, US Cities could definitely use this Kei class market! Heck this Yeps interior fit and finish is luxury compared to my Mitsubishi Mirage!

hahahahaha

wrgg

Awesome news!

确实，在夏季的城市内涝中，电车总是惹人眼球，因为它可以像船一样从一群水淹熄火的豪车面前轻松的驶过。

@@xiuChang 👍👍

Idk man, I would not want to get an ev in water, definitely not to the extent some old school 4x4s go, it would also float probably

​@@LeoMkII you haven't seen Teslas on water which aren't even designed for specifically for floods. Most EVs even cheaper ones are seal their batteries watertight. Tesla Cybertruck designed to float and boat for 30mins. or more.

​@@zodiacfml Definitely not with THIS 2:25

After import costs and taxes, you can expect its price to be closer to £20.000. Still a good deal considering the looks and equipment in my opinion.

Yes europe has no cheap EVs..even that small FIAT 500 electric which i would never buy cost 30 000 euros in my country . I want something like this as mu first EV..something that cost 10-15k euros ...something that looks fun

Rest assured, there will be plenty of jacked up and/or slammed Yeps running around Chinese car shows

@@Wheelsboy Could this be the strategy of the yep? Give a shitty jimny type ev but upgrade it all you want to make it comfortable like the wuling?

the U.S. customs charges high tariff on chinese cars and the federal government is not giving permit for these chinese companies

American government is anti chinese stuff since trump. Much more for a car. Fuck, just google what happened to suzuki and its samurai

​@@tl1539​What they should do is make these in the USA with American parts.

@@mononeo enemy investment? Instant Ban! I worked for a Chinese owned company in Texas, JP morgan chase is not opening bank account for that company b/c it is chinese owned entity

It's hard due to political issues.😂 Recently the ceo of Nio complained that "Why US market is not open to Chinese EV maker while US Car makers like Tesla is well treated by Chinese gov." Personally I think open market is necessary for customer to get things in a good price, but trends are every country is closing their market to benefit local companies. That's why things are getting expensive these days.

It's probably a lot more affordable too

​@@toyotaprius79nah, property prices in large Chinese cities are completely insane, especially when compared to wages.

These are tourist attractions for local people to take pictures with and post on their social media. These exist all over Asia, including imitations of Montreal, Rome, Tuscany, Paris, etc.

​@@motorpolitan8884Pretty sure they're like three Eiffel tower s in East Asia or something

@@wantedyou2346 👍👍👍

C’est terrible

Search for punch ev it is full size electric car 15000 euros made by Tata

That tiny fellow would cost more than double the price if it came to Europe.

​@@BETTERSTATEvisionpeople has it doesn't say anything but people who don't say everything 😆😆😆😂😂😂

​@@sky2.040 lol thats very true, u do also noticed the most complains about EVs arent its owners themselves 😂😂

Pricing typically doubles outside China.

@@AutoReport1 by typically you mean ''the west'' for ASEAN is way smaller... BYD Dolphin go from ~17k in China to ~20k in Thailand or ~21k in Malaysia or ~22k in Indonesia... funny how further you go South, it adds 1k 😂

I love the Samurai!

What does that tell you…. The world needs these types of cars.

@@spacegreycoralred that true, but there are other incentives in Shanghai. The EV license is 0 (vs US$15K for a gas car) but ppl (who already own gas cars but not EVs) expected that "deal" for EV license might be gone soon, hence some chose to buy a super cheap EV to obtain a 0-cost EV license (in case they be not 0-cost in the future). So basically the cheap EVs are premium paid for a call option.

I do not know, but I hope that it will!

@@Wheelsboy I only ask as the PUT version could handle a little better as (in pictures) it seems somewhat longer than the "SUV" version. Perhaps a 5-door would solve some comfort issues ?

Vinfast is a fraud. Beware

Made in Vietnam = Vin Crash

I would definitely wait for the Vinfast. Maybe I'm wrong, but they have never manufactured any vehicles anywhere including Vietnam until now. It may be the next Nissan Z car or it may be the next Yugo.

turbo mode😂

No.

bucunzai

you are not the target. The chinese market is.

@@petrichor259 uhmmmmm... Excuse me? What? I just said that a 4x4 version of this car would be nice to have, who talked about market targeting?

​@@lowrangemaniac5326there will be, it's still under development.

Same platform, but with a different body, the powertrain from the Wuling Air EV, and the DJI ADAS system from the Baojun Kiwi. It’s a real mutt, but it works!

Like I said in the video, this car was wrapped by the manufacturer.

@@Wheelsboy Yes, you did. That doesn't change the fact that if I am buying a new car, I would want all the body panels to be the same colour.
