The sleek side profile of the JI YUE 07 is enhanced by a sporty fastback design, with a gently sloping roofline that flows into the large, five-spoke, low-drag wheels. The car's aerodynamic performance is further optimized by the absence of traditional door handles, replaced with electric induction doors.
