Its short overhangs and 225mm ground clearance provide impressive approach (32°) and departure (34°) angles for light off-roading.
2. Platform Architecture
Built on an all-aluminum chassis, the EJ6 uses a 400V architecture. It features a 69.8 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery from CATL. The dual-motor AWD variant produces 205kW (275hp), achieving 0-100km/h in roughly 6.5 seconds. It offers an efficiency of approximately 19.5 kWh/100km and a 421km range (NEDC).
3. Technical Capabilities
Equipped with Level 2 ADAS, the EJ6 includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Detection. A standout feature is its 600mm wading depth and “V2L” (Vehicle-to-Load) capability, allowing the car to power external appliances like camping gear or coffee machines.
4. Quality & Warranty
The interior features premium vegan leather and soft-touch materials. While there is no “frunk,” it offers 450L of rear boot space (expanding to 1,180L) and a unique “backpack” tailgate storage box. The vehicle is backed by a 7-year/150,000km warranty, with the battery covered for 8 years.
