What is the range of the Letin i5?
2 Answers
The range of the Letin i5 is 255km. The Letin i5 is a single-motor model, with the motor delivering a maximum power of 30kW and a maximum torque of 150Nm. It is equipped with a ternary lithium-ion battery across the entire lineup. Ternary lithium-ion batteries offer higher energy density and lighter weight, making them more suitable for family cars. In terms of the suspension system, the Letin i5 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a trailing-arm non-independent rear suspension. Externally, the Letin i5 boasts a dynamic and stylish overall design, with a V-shaped front grille complemented by a U-shaped chrome strip around the lower grille, enhancing the front-end's premium feel. The dimensions of the car are 4055mm in length, 1630mm in width, and 1510mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2400mm.
I've been driving the Letin i5 for almost a year now. In terms of range, the official claim is around 200 to 250 kilometers under comprehensive conditions, which is sufficient for daily commuting, but there can be fluctuations in real-world usage. In city driving with frequent stops and traffic jams, the range might drop to 150 to 180 kilometers. Using air conditioning or driving in cold weather has an even greater impact, reducing battery efficiency. When charging, it's important to note that fast charging can get you to 80% in about half an hour, while home charging is slower, taking five to six hours. It's recommended to check tire pressure and battery health weekly to ensure stable range. Overall, it's quite cost-effective as a family car—electricity costs are much lower than gasoline, and parking for charging isn't too troublesome. The key is to develop smooth driving habits, avoiding hard acceleration, which can save a lot of power. Weekend trips to the suburbs with the kids are no problem, but for longer journeys, it's best to plan charging stops to avoid range anxiety.
