Jiangnan Motors, a subsidiary of Zotye Auto, has launched their new affordable and efficient electric vehicle, the Jiangnan U2, on February 26th. With a starting price of 56,800 RMB (8,100 USD), which is 2,000 RMB (300 USD) lower than the pre-sale price, the U2 is expected to appeal to many customers looking for an intelligent pure electric car that doesn’t break the bank.
The U2 comes in six different models, each with varying configurations and driving range, depending on the model. The car is built on the Jiangnan Automobile J-Smart 1.0 pure electric platform, which offers two power versions, one with a maximum power of 55 kW and peak torque of 120 Nm and another with a maximum power of 80 kW and peak torque of 160 Nm.
One of the most significant advantages of owning a Jiangnan U2 is the range of benefits and features offered by Jiangnan Motors. The first car owner will get free lifetime warranties for the battery, motor, and electric control system. There is also a three-year or 120,000-km warranty for the whole car and lifetime free road rescue.

The U2 is not only affordable and efficient, but it also offers a decent trunk capacity of 300 L, which can be expanded to 700 L with the second row folded. This makes it a practical choice for families and those who require more space.
The launch of the Jiangnan U2 is part of the Chinese government’s broader push towards electric vehicles as a way to reduce pollution and combat climate change. The U2 is expected to compete with other affordable electric vehicles in the Chinese market, such as the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV.
