Recently, Skywell announced that it has completed the delivery of its first mass-produced electric mid-size SUV, the Skywell ME7, to owners in over 20 cities across China. The exact number of deliveries and cumulative orders has not been disclosed by Skywell.
Currently, Skywell has established 31 Skywell Spaces and Smart Selection Spaces in 22 cities across China, and plans to complete the construction of more than 200 stores by 2025.
The ME7, Skywell’s first model, was launched at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2019, and was originally scheduled to begin deliveries in 2020, but was delayed due to high-level personnel changes and factory shutdowns. The ME7 features a 5+X screen interconnected intelligent cockpit, with five independent screens in the car. Apart from the instrument cluster, the other four screens can be independently connected to Bluetooth headphones, and the screens can push audio and video content to each other. Other screens can push location and navigation information to the central control screen, achieving multi-screen linkage.
The Skywell ME7 has two types of range, NEDC 410 km and NEDC 530 km, and comes in three configurations: Elite Edition, Technology Edition, and Navigation Edition. The Navigation Edition with a range of NEDC 530 km has a subsidized starting price of RMB 289,800. The Skywell ME7 is positioned similarly to the previously released Aiways U5, which had poor sales after launch, highlighting the intense competition in this segment of the market.
