On April 15th, Ziyoujia officially announced the core parameters of its first product, NV.
Ziyoujia NV is positioned as a mid-to-large SUV and competes with Ideal ONE and Voyah FREE in the same level. Ziyoujia NV provides two power combinations: pure electric and range-extender. The entire series comes standard with a dual-motor four-wheel drive system, supporting seven driving modes, including sport, off-road, jump, wet and slippery road.
The specific power parameters of Ziyoujia NV are as follows:
- The range-extender version is equipped with dual permanent magnet synchronous motors, with 130 kW front and 140 kW rear, and a maximum power of 270 kW;
- The pure electric version is equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motors, with 140 kW each in the front and rear, and a maximum power of 280 kW;
- The maximum torque is 452 N·m;
- All-series acceleration is 5.9 seconds per hundred kilometers.
Compared with the same-level Ideal ONE, Ziyoujia NV has slightly better performance parameters. However, for mid-to-large SUVs, performance is not the main evaluation criterion.
In terms of range, the range-extender version of Ziyoujia NV has a range of 1,257 kilometers under CLTC conditions, and can reach 939 kilometers under the more stringent WLTP conditions. The range in pure electric mode can reach 150 kilometers, and it has both fast charging (DC) and slow charging (AC) capabilities, making it easy to handle long-distance trips.

Matched with it is a 1.5T turbocharger with a certified high efficiency rate of 41.07% by Energy Star. It is also capable of using 92 gasoline to improve power, and we can look forward to the energy consumption performance of the self-driving car NV in the future.
NV has also not neglected the pure electric route. The CLTC’s pure electric model has a range of 550 km and the entire line comes with a heat pump air conditioner as standard. According to the official statement of Self-driving Car, compared with PTC air conditioner, it can save 60% of energy consumption. The 550 km range of endurance is better than that of the pure electric version of the same medium-to-large SUV, the Voyah FREE, which can meet daily commuting and nearby trips without any problem.
In terms of vehicle safety, the Self-driving Car NV adopts a steel-aluminum mixed body, and the proportion of ultra-high-strength steel reaches 35%, which can meet the C-NCAP five-star standard and the G-grade standard of the China Insurance Research Institute while also taking into account lightweighting.
For battery safety, Self-driving Car stated that it uses high-performance composite materials to prevent damage to the battery compartment in the event of collisions, bottoms out, or sharp object punctures. At the same time, it uses materials such as aerosols and silicone foam to meet the IP67 dust and water resistance standards.The originally scheduled press conference of Weima EV was supposed to be held on March 31. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation in China, like many other car companies, the press conference has been postponed. However, Weima EV has not announced a new date or how the conference will be conducted. We also hope that the pandemic will end soon, so that more new cars can meet the public.
