GAC-Mitsubishi Eupheme EV and E-More concept

edit
 
GAC-Mitsubishi E-More

During the 2018 Beijing Auto Show, GAC Mitsubishi launched the Guangzhou Auto E-More concept previewing an upcoming electric crossover. Despite Guangzhou Auto claiming that it was designed from the ground up as an EV, instead of being based on an existing petrol powered car, the Mitsubishi E-More was clearly based on the Trumpchi GS3. The production version of the Mitsubishi E-More will be launched in October.[5]

The production version of the E-More concept was launched during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show as the GAC-Mitsubishi Eupheme EV (祺智 EV). The Eupheme EV is equipped with a 180 horsepower(132 kW) and 290 N·m electric motor and a 54.75kWh battery capable of a 410 km electric range. The top speed of the Eupheme EV is 156 km/h.[6]
