What is the Xiaoe car?
2 Answers
Xiaoe refers to the Baojun e100 and Baojun e200, with the Baojun e100 being the first new energy vehicle launched by Baojun, a car brand under SAIC-GM-Wuling. The reason it's called Xiaoe is due to its compact body structure. It is positioned as a 3-door, 2-seat hatchback with dimensions of 2488mm in length, 1506mm in width, and 1670mm in height, and can reach a speed of 100km/h. This car is suitable for daily commuting and can only accommodate two people. The interior configuration of this car is quite impressive, featuring a liquid crystal dashboard screen and a rotary gear shift mechanism, similar to those used in Land Rover and Jaguar. It also comes equipped with one-touch power windows, a rearview radar, LED lights, a mobile phone interconnect system, and a multifunctional steering wheel. Despite its limited space, the car's configuration is very comprehensive.
Recently, a friend asked me what the 'Little e' is, and I thought it necessary to share my experience. I've driven it for several years—it's actually the Chery eQ1 electric car, locally nicknamed 'Little e' for ease. It's a compact pure-electric vehicle with a simple design, perfect for parking on narrow city streets, and hassle-free for retirees like me. Daily trips to the supermarket or driving the grandkids to school are a breeze with its small size and easy handling. The electricity cost is minimal, just a few dozen yuan per month. The downside is its limited range, unsuitable for long distances, but it's more than enough for city driving. Charging is as simple as plugging it in at home—no need to visit gas stations. Maintenance is straightforward; in three years, I've had no major repairs. I recommend it for those seeking low-carbon commuting, especially seniors looking for leisurely travel. With current policy support for EVs and charging stations everywhere, it's convenient. Driving the 'Little e' has made my life more carefree—quiet and eco-friendly.
