The Baojun E300 or Baojun KiWi EV, is a battery electric city car manufactured by SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) since 2017 under the Baojun brand. It is a four-seater car with two doors and a hatch at the rear.

History

SAIC-GM-Wuling showed the first pictures of the vehicle in the cubic design in December 2019. At that time, it was still announced as a new energy vehicle (NEV).[3] The microcar had its public premiere in January 2020 in Guangxi.[4] The E300 series has been sold in China since May 2020.[5] In August 2021, the E300 was updated and relaunched as the Baojun KiWi EV.[6]

The car is offered as a shorter E300 with two or three seats or as a longer E300 Plus with four seats.[7]

Specifications

The Baojun E300 has a synchronous fixed ratio gearbox and rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive layout, generating 40 kW (54 hp; 54 PS) of maximum power and 150 N⋅m (111 lb⋅ft) of maximum torque. It has a top speed of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) and supports DC fast charging, enabling it to be fully charged in one hour.[8] The top-of-the-line version of the E300 Plus is equipped with a 31.9 kWh (115 MJ) battery and an NEDC range of 305 kilometres (190 mi).[9]

Suspension is a McPherson independent suspension and double wishbone independent suspension design.[8]

Safety

Safety features include electronic stability control (ESC), the anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), hydraulic brake assist (HBA), and dual front air bags. More than 80% of the body consists of high-strength steel. The battery pack is wrapped in super-strong steel and is equipped with an active power-off system for an extra protection precaution in the event of a collision.[8]
