What is the Keyis car?

[SanSpencer]

Keyis is not a car model, nor is there any car brand named Keyis. The only connection Keyis has with automobiles is its steering wheel, which is a quick-release racing steering wheel designed for competitive racing. Since aftermarket steering wheels are generally universal, any steering wheel that fits the base can be installed. Additional Information: Quick-release steering wheels are primarily used in competitive racing. To reduce weight and simplify the structure, these steering wheels do not come equipped with airbags or other electronic control systems. If a regular vehicle is fitted with a quick-release steering wheel and an accident occurs, the driver would not have the protection of an airbag, leading to potentially severe consequences. Furthermore, unauthorized modification of steering wheels is prohibited by national traffic laws.

I'm a Keyes owner and have been driving it for almost two years. Keyes is actually Chery Holding's sub-brand, positioned as an affordable option, focusing on cost-effective family commuter cars. Recently, it's become particularly common in third- and fourth-tier cities, with popular models like the Xuanjie and Xuandu available for just 50,000 to 80,000 RMB out-the-door. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine may not be the most powerful, but it's very fuel-efficient, consuming just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers. I especially want to mention the Xuandu's rear seats—even at 182 cm tall, I still have two fists of space between my knees and the front seats, and the trunk can fit three 28-inch suitcases, making it really practical for family use. Their infotainment system also uses iFLYTEK's voice recognition, which handles dialects quite smoothly.

Seen this brand a lot in repair shops, Keyis is just Yibin-made Cowin. Shares high parts commonality with Chery Tiggo series for body panels - a fog lamp assembly replacement only costs 200 bucks. Last month fixed a Xuanjie Pro whose owner reported headlight flickering on rough roads, turned out to be oxidized H4 connectors. The full halogen setup is underwhelming though, remember to add decoders when upgrading to LEDs. Shares platform with Tiggo 5x - the torsion beam rear suspension gets bumpy over speed bumps, but parts are dirt cheap. A front bumper replacement with paint job only runs 800.

After studying Keyis' production and sales data, the brand sold 72,000 units last year, with the Xuanjie SUV accounting for 60% of total sales. They're heavily invested in smart cabins, featuring standard 10.25-inch screens across the lineup, with higher trims offering Huawei HiCar. CATL supplies batteries for the Xuanjie Pro EV, whose 401km range version sells for 120,000 RMB. Their factory is located in Yibin Lingang, exporting over 3,000 units to Egypt last year. Special attention should be paid to the newly launched Kunlun iHD hybrid, featuring a 1.5T + 3-speed DHT combo with tested fuel consumption of 4.8L/100km.

Young people can really consider Kaiyi for their first car. I bought the Xuandu Sport version for just 78,900 yuan. The hatchback trunk is super convenient for storing skis, and the 1.5T engine delivers 156 horsepower with noticeable acceleration in Sport mode. The factory-fitted Maxxis tires are a bit noisy, but switching to Michelin quiet tires makes an immediate difference. The smart key has a 15-meter sensing range, and remotely turning on the AC in summer is incredibly practical. The only downside is the glossy center console panel easily collects fingerprints, but a matte film solves that.

Last week, I took clients for test drives of the entire Keyis lineup. Kaiyi's lane-keeping assist is finely tuned, automatically engaging at 60km/h without tugging the steering wheel. Special attention should be paid to the newly launched Xuanjie Pro EV version - fast charging achieves 80% replenishment in 30 minutes, but a 10A converter is required for slow charging posts. It's recommended to opt for the underbody guard plate as the factory battery pack has 18cm ground clearance - exercise caution on rough roads. Maintenance intervals are 7,500km, with the first service including complimentary full-synthetic oil. Using Mann filters for air intake yields 30% better performance than OEM parts.
