Chery's Kaiyi brand has launched pre-orders in China for the electric car Kaiyi Shiyue Max, also known as E-Qute 04. The price of the Shiyue Max turned out to be even lower than that of another budget electric car from Chery that recently hit the market: while the QQ3 EV starts at 68.9 thousand yuan (770 thousand rubles), the price range for the Shiyue Max is 47.9-51.9 thousand yuan, which is equivalent to 535-580 thousand rubles. Despite being more compact at just 3725 mm in length compared to the QQ3's 4200 mm, the Shiyue Max is also a five-door hatchback, albeit positioned as a city car. Inside, it offers four seats and a 12.8" media screen, with performance characteristics that match those of the basic model: 75 hp power and a range of 310 km. While Chinese prices may not directly apply to the Russian market, the question remains: if these cars were to be imported to Russia for around a million rubles, would there be demand for them? Or would the Lada Granta still be the preferred choice?
