2 Answers
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.
