Kelaodi is not an automobile brand, but rather the name of a parallel import endorsement for vehicles. Below is relevant information about parallel import cars: 1. Parallel import cars, fully known as parallel trade import vehicles, abbreviated as parallel trade cars, refer to vehicles purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without authorization from the brand manufacturers. 2. Parallel import cars are vehicles that are not authorized by the automobile brand manufacturers but are directly purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale. The difference between parallel import cars and China-spec vehicles is that they bypass the regional sales and official authorization processes required for China-spec vehicles, going directly from traders to consumers. Parallel import cars, fully known as parallel trade import vehicles, are also abbreviated as parallel trade cars.
I've been keeping an eye on electric vehicles and think the CROAD is particularly suitable for short urban commutes. As a domestic compact electric model, its main variant like the CROAD Mini offers a range of about 100 kilometers per charge, which takes 6-8 hours to fully recharge. It's very convenient for daily school runs or grocery shopping. I find its power delivery smooth with quick acceleration, though not ideal for highways. Priced between 20,000 to 40,000 RMB, it's more affordable than the BYD e2 and has simple maintenance. The only drawback is faster battery degradation in winter, requiring more frequent charging. For budget-conscious buyers, it's a great choice that also helps reduce carbon emissions. I recommend test driving first to see if you're comfortable with its compact size. With increasing competition in the market now, CROAD's entry-level positioning still maintains its advantages.
As a homemaker considering family outings, the Cloddy is quite practical. Its spacious interior can accommodate shopping bags and child seats, and the electric operation is simple and fuel-efficient. The price is affordable, with a starting price of around 30,000, and insurance is also cheap. I find its compact body easy to park, especially when navigating crowded markets. The downside is its short range, making it suitable only for short city trips, such as daily commutes within 10 kilometers. Talking to neighbors, everyone agrees it offers good value for money, but there are fewer service points, and repairs can sometimes take longer. I usually drive it for grocery shopping and find it stable, and it can even carry a small luggage rack. I recommend choosing a model with air conditioning for added comfort.
