lite is a BAIC New Energy vehicle. Taking the 2019 BAIC New Energy Lite as an example, it is a microcar with body dimensions of 2986mm in length, 1676mm in width, 1517mm in height, a wheelbase of 2807mm, a luggage compartment volume of 115 liters, and a body weight of 1030kg.

It adopts a rear-wheel drive system, equipped with a single-speed electric transmission and a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a total power output of 40kW.
I've driven a so-called Lite version similar to the Smart Fortwo, which is essentially an ultra-compact city car, perfect for daily commuters like me in urban areas. This car is small and agile, making parking incredibly easy—no more worries about finding a parking spot. Its fuel efficiency is outstanding, saving me a significant amount on monthly fuel costs. The interior design is simple yet practical, equipped with all the essential features. Safety is also commendable, with standard ABS and multiple airbags. Driving it to work feels particularly eco-friendly, as it helps reduce carbon emissions. In short, if you're a city dweller seeking affordability and convenience, this entry-level small-displacement car is definitely worth considering, especially for short trips or daily errands.
