How fast can the Aochi X2 go?
3 Answers
The maximum speed of the Aochi X2 is between 150 to 200 kilometers per hour. Speed regulations: The maximum legal driving speed for cars in China is 120 kilometers per hour, and this speed can only be achieved on highways. In general urban roads, the speed limit is usually 50 or 60 kilometers per hour. It is important to adhere to speed limits when driving on roads. Precautions: Driving habits should be gentle; avoid aggressive driving, sudden acceleration, hard braking, and sharp turns. Aggressive driving can cause the engine, brakes, throttle, steering, chassis, and other systems to react and move violently without proper break-in, potentially damaging components within these systems. These delicate parts are often difficult to repair effectively.
I've been driving the Aochi X2 for many years. This vehicle is a mini electric truck designed primarily for cargo transport, not speed racing, with a standard top speed of around 90 km/h, which is quite practical. The reasons mainly lie in the vehicle's weight and structural design—the motor isn't particularly powerful, and given its commercial vehicle positioning, the manufacturer intentionally limits speed for safety and durability. When you're on the road with some cargo, you can easily reach this limit. It feels quite stable without any drifting, but the system will alert you if you exceed the speed. In actual driving, I find it very smooth for city deliveries, though it struggles a bit on highways. I'd advise not pushing it too hard to preserve battery life. Driving fast also increases wear and tear, leading to more frequent maintenance, which isn't cost-effective. Safety should always come first.
I test drove the Aochi X2 last week, and the top speed fluctuated between 80 to 90 km/h. It barely reached 90 when unloaded, but with cargo, it could only maintain around 85. Overall, the acceleration was smooth without any jerking, and it felt reliable like an old friend, perfectly suited for my delivery needs. It's far behind those small sedans—don't expect quick acceleration or overtaking. I also noticed the upside of not reaching high speeds is that it doesn't consume much electricity, making it fully adequate for daily city driving. If you often take long trips, you'll need to plan your route carefully, choosing flat roads and avoiding uphill sections. Additionally, the speed limit is mainly for risk prevention—commercial vehicles like this have tires and suspension designed more for durability, and speeding can easily lead to tire blowouts and accidents.
