The Baojun E300 is a battery-powered microcar produced by the Chinese automobile manufacturer SAIC-GM-Wuling under the Baojun brand.

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]

Specifications[]

The Baojun E300 has a synchronous fixed ratio gearbox and rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive layout, generating 40 kW of maximum power and 150 Nm of maximum torque. It has a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour 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 battery and an NEDC range of 305 km (190 miles).[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]
