What are the differences between Kiwi and E300?
2 Answers
Differences in body dimensions and charging. The Kiwi body is relatively longer compared to the E300 body, and the Kiwi supports fast charging. Differences between Baojun Kiwi and E300: Different body dimensions: The E300 model has overall dimensions of 2625*1647*1588mm, a wheelbase of 1750mm, front tire size of 145/70R12, and rear tire size of 145/70R12. The Kiwi body dimensions are 2894/1655/1595mm, with a wheelbase of 2020mm, front tire size of 155/70R13, and rear tire size of 155/70R13. The E300 model is a three-door, three-seat hatchback, while the Kiwi is a three-door, four-seat hatchback. Charging: Both the E300 and Kiwi are equipped with a motor with a maximum horsepower of 54PS (40KW), a peak torque of 150 N·m, and an NEDC range of 305KM. However, the Kiwi has fast charging capability, taking only 1 hour to charge from 30% to 80%. The E300 uses a ternary lithium battery with a battery energy of 31 kWh, while the Kiwi uses a lithium iron phosphate battery with a battery energy of 31.9 kWh. Therefore, the Kiwi has a longer range.
I previously drove an Ora KiWi, and my friend owns a Li E300. The driving experience is quite different. The KiWi is a micro electric vehicle, compact in size and easy to park, making it particularly suitable for crowded urban streets like those in Shanghai or Beijing—it can even fit into tiny parking spaces. It runs on a pure electric system with a range of about 300 kilometers, and it can be fully charged in about an hour with fast charging. The small battery means lower maintenance costs, but space is limited; it’s fine for two people, but a bit cramped for family outings. The Li E300 is a mid-size SUV, a plug-in hybrid that can run on both fuel and electricity, with a range of 700-800 kilometers, making it worry-free for long trips. In terms of driving feel, the KiWi is light and agile, while the E300 is stable and refined, with good suspension, making it ideal for family trips. Price-wise, the KiWi can be bought for around 100,000 RMB, while the E300 starts at over 300,000 RMB. If budget is tight, the former is a good option; if you need more space, go for the latter.
