The BAIC EU5 R500 model has a range of 416 kilometers, while the R600 model offers a range of 501 kilometers. The driving range, also referred to as endurance capability, indicates the total distance a vehicle or ship can travel continuously with its maximum fuel reserve. The BAIC EU5 is a compact pure electric vehicle featuring a single motor with a maximum power output of 160 kW and a peak torque of 300 Nm. The dimensions of the BAIC EU5 are 4650 mm in length, 1820 mm in width, and 1510 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670 mm. The car's design includes a large front grille paired with sleek, elongated headlights on both sides, giving it a more stylish and sophisticated appearance. The side profile features a dual waistline design, with one line extending through the front and rear door handles, enhancing its sporty look.

I've been driving the BAIC EU5 for over a year now, and the daily experience has been quite practical. The official range is stated to be between 416 kilometers to 501 kilometers, which varies depending on the configuration—for example, the base model is rated at 416 km, while the high-end version can reach up to 501 km. In actual driving conditions, my typical urban commute allows the battery to last around 380 kilometers. However, with air conditioning in summer or heating in winter, the range drops to just over 300 kilometers. Speed significantly impacts the range; high-speed driving consumes battery faster, while steady driving is more energy-efficient. Battery aging also plays a role—new cars can go farther. I recommend regular battery maintenance. Charging stations are convenient, with fast charging topping up most of the battery in about half an hour, which is more than enough for commuting. It's cost-effective and eco-friendly. Overall, the range is reliable and meets daily needs well.

From a data perspective, the range of the BAIC EU5 is based on the NEDC testing standard, typically between 416 kilometers and 501 kilometers. The NEDC is measured in an ideal laboratory environment, but in reality, driving habits have a significant impact. For example, frequent acceleration or using the air conditioning system increases energy consumption. In practice, I can achieve a range of 350 to 450 kilometers. The battery uses ternary lithium, which has sufficient capacity but is noticeably affected by temperature: in summer, high temperatures reduce the range by 10%, and in winter, cold starts require preheating. Monitoring shows that efficiency is highest when the speed is stable at 60 km/h. With the popularization of charging infrastructure, long-distance travel is no longer a concern, and the electricity cost per kilometer is low. It is recommended to drive in energy-saving mode to extend battery life.

When I first bought the BAIC EU5, as a newbie, I was most concerned about its range. The official data claimed 416 to 501 kilometers, which sounded great, but I soon realized it didn't actually reach that in real-world driving. On my first long-distance attempt, the battery drained quite quickly, and the low battery warning came on after just 310 kilometers. Now I've learned to check the dashboard's battery level daily and charge it promptly. Driving an electric car is quite quiet, and the power consumption isn't too excessive. Driving gently without stomping on the accelerator too hard can significantly extend the range. Temperature extremes have a noticeable impact—using air conditioning or heating drains the battery faster. Charging facilities are more abundant now, and having charging stations in the residential parking lot is very convenient. For commuters, this car's range is sufficient, eliminating the need for daily charging.

As an environmental advocate, I find the BEIJING EU5's range performance impressive, with official data showing 416 to 501 kilometers. In actual use, I can drive over 350 kilometers, and the electricity cost is extremely low, saving me a significant amount on fuel expenses each month. Driving this car contributes to emission reduction and environmental protection, with zero emissions per kilometer helping to purify the air. Smooth driving is key: avoiding sudden braking or rapid acceleration reduces power consumption and extends the range. Temperature factors should be noted, such as the 20% increase in energy consumption when using the air conditioning system in hot summers. The charging network is well-developed, with fast charging providing a substantial boost in just 20 minutes, making long-distance travel worry-free. Policy-wise, electric vehicle owners also enjoy subsidies, making the overall range both sufficient and economical, while being friendly to the planet.
