What brand is the Kiwi car?
3 Answers
Kiwi is a new electric vehicle under the Baojun brand. Here are the specific details: Powertrain: The car is equipped with a 40kW drive motor and adopts a "rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive" layout. The compact motor only requires a small reducer, making the rear-mounted layout feasible. The power battery pack has a capacity of 31.9kWh and uses long-life lithium iron phosphate batteries, providing an NEDC (test cycle) range of 305 kilometers. Exterior: The vehicle features a TWO-TONE split design that creates a floating cabin effect. It has rounded rectangular closed grilles, complemented by Hui-shaped daytime running lights and retro-inspired rectangular headlights. The color-matched hidden door handles and specially customized wheels significantly enhance the car's technological appeal and premium feel.
I recently researched electric vehicles and found that Kiwi is actually a model of a compact electric car, not an independent brand. It belongs to Baojun, which is a sub-brand of SAIC-GM-Wuling in China, specializing in economical vehicles. The Kiwi EV features a compact design, making it ideal for city driving and parking, with a range of around 300 kilometers and fast charging capabilities, making it a popular choice for young commuters. I've seen the actual car—it has a cute, rounded exterior and decent smart features, including automated parking, though its small size isn't suitable for large families. If you're curious about the brand, Baojun is headquartered in Liuzhou and has sales outlets worldwide. It was launched around 2018 and has since been upgraded to newer models, priced at around 100,000 RMB, offering great value. In short, Kiwi is Baojun's electric vehicle representative, not its own brand.
As an electric vehicle owner, I've been commuting with the Kiwi for over a year now. It's actually one of Baojun's flagship models. It's quiet to drive, fuel-efficient with low electricity costs, costing just a few dollars a day. I wasn't familiar with the Baojun brand before, but later found out it's a joint venture between SAIC Group and General Motors China, with decent quality. The Kiwi has comfortable seats and fast air conditioning, but the trunk is small and can't fit large items. Common issues include faster battery drain in winter, so regular battery maintenance is recommended. I've recommended it to friends, and they all like its cute appearance, plus it's affordable at around 100,000 yuan. In short, the Kiwi is a product of the Baojun family, not a new brand, and it's safer to test drive it before buying.
