Chinese EV startup Enovate puts first mass-produced model ME7 onto market

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Enovate ME7, the first production model of the EV innovator Enovate, hit the market on September 19, joining the string of Chinese EV startups that have production vehicle models available for sales.

Offered in five trim levels, the ME7 is priced at a range of 218,800 yuan ($32,363) to 289,800 yuan ($42,864) after subsidiary.

With dimensions of 4,685mm length, 1,970mm width, 1,660mm height and a wheelbase of 2,830mm, the ME7 plays in the league of medium-sized SUVs, and is going to vie with such models as the NIO ES6 and the AIWAYS U5.

The exterior of the new mid-sized SUV features a close-off grille to reveal its full-electric powertrain solution. The LED headlight cluster stretching across the front accentuates the car's width. Besides, both the internal structure of headlights and the air inlets on the both sides are in tune with the three-stripe design of the logo in the middle of the front.

The side view is characterized by a pair of character lines that connect the front wheels and the rear, and a floating sunroof. The relatively short front and rear overhangs and the two-tone wheel rims render a great essence of sports.

The design of the SUV's rear is in line with that of the front. The rear windshield and the taillight cluster seem to be integrated together. At the tail trunk, the illuminated taillight cluster makes the vehicle pretty unmistakable.

The cockpit features a wraparound design with starry-sky ambiance lamp and five displays that achieve real-time interaction—three are connected for the dashboard and two are at the back of the front seats.

Other amenities include the NFC-enabled center console, mobile phone charger, keyless entry, keyless activation, electric tailgate, PM 2.5 filter

Powering the vehicle is a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) that churns out up to 160kW and 330 N·m. Equipped with a soft-packing NCM622 battery, the ME7 offers two NEDC-rated ranges—410km and 530km.

According to Enovate, the ME7 carries Level 2 advanced driver assistance system that embraces a total of 16 functions such as ACC (adaptive cruise control), APA (active park assist ) and AEB (autonomous emergency braking).
