Baojun EQ100 (Yunduo): The Smartest MPV You've Ever Seen

[@Sabloschi]

I love this guy, when talking about power, range, length always miles and km, inch and cm, kw and HP! Very nice 👍❤

[@aznboycols]

Has to if he wants the US audience because the US never accepted the metric sys.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So thank you for the review and the ride along. This is a car that I would actually buy, particularly at that price point, and I think often times what gets lost in conversations about the transition from ICE cars to EV’s is not just cost or quality, but that how do we get to this cost/quality at a price point that would make people think about maybe they could fit their lifestyle into an EV, because everyone don’t need Tesla‘s performance, which is absolutely off the charts, no doubt about that. So full disclosure, I drive a Tesla, and I absolutely love it, and to me there’s nothing on the road that compares to it. However, the price tag is also out of this world, and with all fairness, the prices have come down considerably from when I bought mine. However, it’s still kinda pricey for those who are skeptical about EV’s, and those who simply can’t see themselves driving anything except an ICE car, because that’s what they’re comfortable with, and that population still represents the majority of people living in the US. So what Tesla, and all the other OEMs needs to worry about is these kinds of cars coming out of China, that really do have quality, and are coming in at a price point that I don’t think any of the OEM legacy auto manufacturers, like a Ford, GM or Tesla can match, because they’re so focused on performance, and quality which are kind of subjective, because if you can manufacture a car at a price point that would at least get people looking at these cars, and trying to figure out if they can afford one or live with one, and let’s face it all the hype, and excitement around all these other cars, I don’t think have resulted in what some of us expected say 10 years ago. Cheers

[@forgotten_world]

Another amazing Chinese EV. Truly practical, nice and comfortable, lots of space, and lower price.

[@marvin19966]

It's like a Mitsubishi Colt that a gang of angry Frenchmen punched in the face

I am really hanging out from these to come to Australia, we are a right hand drive country so I'll have to wait quite a long time.

[@paulb1951]

You want to drive around in something that looks like a mobility scooter 😂. It’s fugly as, you have terrible taste if that’s true 😂

[@tren133]

You guys just got the BYD Seal though. Much more expensive sure, but it is EASILY the cheapest BYD is selling the Seal outside of China. Mid trim long range Seal for 58k AUD is crazy value.

[@metricstormtrooper]

​@@tren133I like the byd tech but couldn't live with the interior design, and I like the interior space, boots space and overall design of the Cloud. I'm really glad that we are starting to get a few reasonably priced EV options.

[@tren133]

@@metricstormtrooper Consensus from multiple products seems to be BYD has better drivetrain/platform/suspension, but Wuling/Baojun has nicer and far roomier interiors. So the people who value the driving experience will go with the BYD, but those who value style and interior/cargo volume will go with Wuling. And along similar veins many singles/young couples will go with the BYD, but young families will go with Wuling/Baojun.

[@metricstormtrooper]

​@@tren133yeah, I'm getting too old to thrash around in cars anymore, I currently have a Mitsubishi minicab miev EV Kei van and really enjoy that, it has only 4 newton metres of torque less than the cloud so I'd rather the baojun had another 100 or so. I'm a sucker for large internal space in a small car and reckon one of these would see me out😁

[@deurkl]

I feel the screens are too small, I would like a 55 inch screen or bigger (100 inches? wrapping around the interior)

[@onetwothreefour-s1n]

I'm not sure on the coffee cup placement. Make sure you drive carefully when you have coffees as if you crash not only will the passenger get smacked in the face by an airbag they will also get covered in scolding hot coffee! 😂

[@swecreations]

I would love this in Europe, compact and mini-MPVs is all I want

[@mattpipes5106]

When I saw the thumbnail image of the car it looks tiny but seeing a person next to it, it is deceptively large! It’s like a limousine in the back… I see what you mean about the French vibe, but I really feel like it is its own thing. I know it is an MPV but as a person who lives in the US I wonder in the American market I wonder where it would fit in, because I think it could be a great segment here! It’s small but big, I can see it being easy to get in and out of for people who can’t squeeze into sporty cars… it looks comfortable… and it’s inexpensive? Wow!

[@SpaceBound-1]

Styling is xpeng like.

[@CharlieGB03]

The rear gives me Renault Scenic vibes. I like it.

[@TonyGoff-Yu]

That screen is insane.

[@SparklePrincessGlitterFart]

The leg room in the back and the room in the boot, this car would be a great taxi.

[@bittersweetknocks5652]

For chinese cars ,wheelsboy is the only authentic choice....love from India

[@loulakion]

It reminds me of a Tesla version of a Honda Jazz/Fit. I hate the lack of physical control, though...

[@deepseer]

It seems that the definition of MPV is quite different in the West. In China, only these large (except a few models like BYD Song Max which is only 4.4 meters in length), 3-row (or 3-row capable but fitted with only 2 rows of seats) vans are called MPVs. And Baojun Yunduo is often compared with BYD Dolphin.

[@Wheelsboy]

I had this conversation with a friend of mine while I was preparing my script. My description of it as an MPV is more a stylistic one. It feels taller than a traditional hatch like the Dolphin (and it is). According to the more traditional definition of an MPV, this one wouldn't qualify.

[@80y3r9]

Front is more multipla (fiat) - Rear is more lancia hatch (Italian), I'll allow an American in China to not know the difference..

[@Wheelsboy]

Thank you for your understanding, and I admit that my depth of knowledge on European models is...shallow.

[@Athrunwong]

i like it...and hate it at the same time. It's too funky for my taste, dark green interior. But the design work...somehow?

[@reinaldoagustio2600]

Semoga cepat msk indonesia.. saat ini di indo hanya ada wuling air ev..

[@davidhein6044]

Wasn´t this launched as the MG Winsor in India?

[@debojyotibasu5111]

Yes

[@wsy987]

The highlight of this car is its low-cost autonomous driving capability and automatic parking ability provided by DJI. It's strange that you didn't properly evaluate it

[@Wheelsboy]

Sadly, the amount of time we had to film this car was very limited, as it was borrowed from a dealership. To properly evaluate and film those systems would take at least an entire day, there's simply so many of them. I did use the DJI system in the Baojun Yep, so you can check out that video for more info. One day, I'd like to be able to check out the valet park assist, which seems pretty unbelievable for a car this cheap.

[@gavjlewis]

Did they just design a car for Uber drivers. 😄

[@林振华-t4v]

It looks like uber shall look into it for fleet sales

[@sharonec5419]

The screen is far too big. They would have been better spending more money on the UI and having a smaller screen like a 12 or 14inch screen.

[@winsunwong5648]

they can always update the UI, they can't really update the size of the hardware after its released though. And you need a big screen to make things convenient since the car has no physical buttons (honestly not my favorite design choice but whatever)

[@Wheelsboy]

Good points!

[@kleesenheim7076]

Did they copy the old Fiat Multipla design? Looks kind of odd

[@richmaniow]

Looks like it's been designed by one of those AI programs that mashes several cars together, very odd..

[@mortensenvick5711]

[@swecreations]

Look at the Renault Scenic E-Tech. :)

[@shroomyesc]

The exterior is a bit multipla-y, although strangely I kinda like it? But anyway, the main thing with this car is the inside and seriously!!! Why can't other cheap cars have lovely colours like this! They can still be a cheap material like you said it's hard plastic, but the seats have the unique armchair-esque pattern, and the colour combination is lovely and modern. Why should cheaper cars be all grey and black?

[@Wheelsboy]

I could not agree more!

[@usoniaboy]

you say it looks French, I'd agree - Renault had a string of oddly shaped vehicles that are still popular as used cars here in Spain.

Finally someone has reviewed this car, in Indonesia this car will be sold under different names Cloud EV or Sky EV

The third partner, Wuling Motor, still exists and has some other businesses. Mostly custom versions of the JV vans, cartlike factory/resort shuttles etc..

[@Wheelsboy]

Oh we're very familiar with Wuling, as we've reviewed the MINI EV (twice), the Bingo, the Asta, the Fighting, the Air EV, and even the Hongguang PLUS. I didn't include them simply because it's quicker and easier just to mention the major partners, SAIC and GM.

A sensible MPV; maybe it could form the basis for the next GM Bolt. 🤔

Even with the 27% tariff, you'd think GM could just put a more powerful electric motor in it, slap a Chevy badge on, and send it over for sale in the US as the next gen Bolt. Unlike GM's US factories, Wuling could produce hundreds of thousands of these easily if there is demand.
