As a PHEV, the Yaoguang C-DM is a standout in the Yaoguang lineup. Powered by a 1.5TGDI hybrid engine and paired with dual electric motors and a 3-speed DHT transmission, the Yaoguang C-DM delivers a total output of 280 kW and peak torque of 610 Nm. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds, offering both power and efficiency.  

In terms of range, the Yaoguang C-DM offers a 100-km battery-powered range, meeting daily urban commuting needs. With a full charge and tank, it offers a combined range of 1,400 km, ensuring reliability for both long trips and daily travel. Its fuel consumption stands at just 5.4L/100 km, further reducing operational costs.  

The success of the Yaoguang family can be attributed to the strength of EXEED's Qingdao Super Smart Factory, a "lighthouse" plant that integrates digitalization, green manufacturing, and lean processes. The plant boasts rigorous quality control, including 1.37 million kilometers of simulated user testing and 260,000 kilometers of durability verification.
