DongFeng E30L is a rear-wheel drive three-door electric car of a subcompact category (class "A" by European standards), which combines an extraordinary design, miniature dimensions and an "environmentally friendly" technical part ... Its main target audience is residents of megacities, paying special attention to the environmental situation in the world ...
The official premiere of the car took place in April 2014 at the International Auto Show in Beijing, but then only in pre-production form, and its commercial production specifically for the Chinese market began in 2015.
Dongfeng E30L looks the way a city car should be - nice, catchy and original: stylish lighting equipment, "inflated" bumpers, a window sill line flying up to the middle pillar of the roof and wheels spaced at the corners of the body.
The electric car has compact dimensions: it is 2995 mm long, of which the distance between the front and rear axles extends by 2160 mm, the width reaches 1560 mm, and fits into 1595 mm in height.
When loaded, the three-door weighs 995 kg.
Inside, the Dongfeng E30L demonstrates quite a modern but ordinary design with a three-spoke steering wheel, a virtual instrument cluster in the middle of the dashboard and a laconic center console.
Formally, the interior of the electric car is designed for four people, but only children can sit in the second row.
With the maximum load of passengers in the trunk of a three-door, even one travel bag will not fit, but the situation is to a certain extent saved by the "gallery" which folds entirely.
The DongFeng E30L is powered by a synchronous electric motor with a maximum output of 22 horsepower (16 kW). It is combined with the driving rear wheels, and is "powered" by a lithium-iron-phosphate battery with a capacity of 18 kW * h.
The ultimate capabilities of an electric car are within 80 km / h, and on fully charged batteries it can cover about 160 km (but this is under ideal conditions).
It takes about eight hours to recharge the three-door battery from a standard household outlet, and 30 minutes from a special station.
At the heart of the Dongfeng E30L is a rear-wheel drive "bogie" with independent suspensions "in a circle": in front - with MacPherson struts, in the back - double-wishbone architecture. The electric car is equipped with electric power steering and disc brakes on all wheels with ABS.
Dongfeng E30L is not officially supplied to the Russian market, but in the Celestial Empire it is sold at a price of 159,800 yuan (~ 1.4 million rubles, but this does not include government subsidies).
The standard three-door is equipped with: front airbags, air conditioning, ABS, two-din radio, virtual instrument cluster, electric windows for both doors and other equipment.
