2 Answers
Yundu π1 is an automotive brand under Fujian Motor Industry Group Yudo New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. The Yundu π1 is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4010mm in length, 1729mm in width, and 1621mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2460mm. This 5-door, 5-seater SUV comes equipped with a single-speed electric transmission, achieving a top speed of 105 km/h. The Yundu π1 adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It features electric power steering and a unibody construction.
I drove a Yudo π1 for three years in China, which is a compact pure electric SUV from the Yudo Auto brand. Yudo is a Chinese new energy vehicle brand established in 2015, headquartered in Xiamen, Fujian, specializing in electric vehicle production. This car drives smoothly with a range of around 350 km, perfectly suitable for daily urban commuting, and charges quickly—fast charging reaches 80% in just one hour. Personally, I find it very family-friendly, especially with its spacious rear seats and sufficient trunk space. Compared to BYD's compact EVs, the π1 is more affordable, starting at around 100,000 RMB. However, it has some drawbacks, like occasional minor glitches in the electronic system and average interior materials. Overall, as an emerging brand, Yudo is still growing and recently launched the π3 model to expand its product line. With China's EV subsidy policies, they continue to improve their technology, making them a brand worth watching.
