Overview
editThe Yunduo, developed under the codename EQ100 was unveiled in May 2023, with pre-orders starting in June 2023 in China.[5][1] Using the clouds as its design theme, it adopts Baojun's updated "Interstellar Geometry" design language, while featuring traditional MPV proportions, including a raked A-pillar, a long wheelbase that creates short overhangs, and a large windshield and greenhouse. The model was launched with three sky-inspired colors called Cloud Sea White, Cloud Twilight Purple and Cloud Smoke Qing. It will feature an ADAS safety package from drone maker DJI, which already supplies the technology to other Baojun models.
The Yunduo is powered by a single electric motor that produces maximum power of 100 kW (134 hp; 136 PS). The top speed is limited to 150 km/h (93 mph). The battery uses a lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) unit produced by Liuzhou Huating New Energy Technology with the capacity of 50.6 kWh. The battery adopts a liquid-cooled thermal management system, and according to SGMW, it can be charged from 30% to 80% in half an hour.[6][7]
