A new electric SUV from Chinese carmaker Dongfeng is more affordable than the standard Suzuki Cultus. It is an A-segment crossover SUV with an all-electric drivetrain known as “Nano Box.”
The infant SUV is not Dongfeng’s first all-electric model. Aeolus EX1, Dongfeng Fengxing T1, Dongfeng Fengguang E1, and Venucia e30 are further EVs. In the next five years, the business plans to introduce 3 to 5 new EV models in an effort to increase its EV output.
The Nano-Box is a little crossover SUV with modern style and a rounded profile. It includes a 27.2 kWh ternary lithium battery that enables a cruise range of up to 331 kilometres. It features a single electric motor that produces 125 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque and 44 horsepower (hp), and it exclusively drives the front wheels.
The Nano Box contains a number of contemporary features, including:
7″ instrument panel
10″ central control screen
App-based car controls
Automatic and remote-operated climate control
Car-location indicator
Internal diagnosis system
Charging management
Parking sensors
ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and brake assist (BA) technology
Voice recognition
Reverse camera
Bluetooth connectivity
If DFSK introduces the SUV in Pakistan, it would be one of the most affordable EVs in the world and a compelling option for Pakistan’s consumers. The SUV is currently priced at roughly Rs. 2.2 million in China.
