The Ziyoujia NV is the startup’s first attempt in the four-wheel motor vehicle domain since its owner, Li Yinan, is known for the NIU company, his two-wheel electric scooter business.

Positioned as a luxury full-size urban explorer SUV, the Ziyoujia NV measures 4,915mm long, 1,962mm wide, 1,755mm tall, with a 2,910mm wheelbase. The vehicle offers two power options built on its GEMINI power module system, namely battery-electric and extended range.

The pure-electric trim allows a CLTC range of 440km on the standard range trim, and 560km on the long-range trim. Powered by a 1.5T four-cylinder five-in-one high-efficiency range extender, the extended range trim allows a CLTC range of 1,257 km.

Notably, the Ziyoujia NV is installed with the automaker’s innovative Smart Stacks building-block style interactive approach, integrating the original NIUTRON OS with CarPlay into the 15.6” center hovering screen, which allows onboard applications such as navigation, entertainment, and vehicle control to run independently. 

The Ziyoujia NV's entire lineup comes standard with 24 AAD (Advanced Assistant Driving) functions, including AEB, ACC, LCC, LCA, BSD, APA, etc. With an additional fee, the standard AAD system hardware can be upgraded to a SuperDrive AAD system.
