I kind of love this car and have a feeling it would really work best in small island nations where you want fun over practicality for tourists and where range is never really going to be an issue. Maybe Wuling should open a Cuban factory and really get that price down to say $6K USD, minus the battery which really should be leased separately in cars like these where you want to get as many buyers into one as possible! I know the same problem happened with Smart Fortwo my current whip... A great car that was horribly overpriced for what you got but its still a fun urban runabout that was even good on solo road trips!

What on Earth are they smoking pricing this thing so high? That's as expensive as much larger, much longer range, and much more practical EVs like the Baojun Cloud or BYD Dolphin! I can see a cabrio version addidng some price, but tripling the price of the original Mini EV? That's just nuts.

Fun car, thanks for the review. We love small 2 person cars. We have been driving Smart Cabrio's for over 20 years, as our only car and allround daily driver. Even holiday trips from Netherlands to Austria, 2000km is no problem. When China could produce a small EV Cabrio with 320km range and fast charging, (like the Fiat 500e Cabrio) for under €25.000, we would buy it instantly. This Wuling is enough for size and cabrio, but falls a bit short in range, fast charging and drivability.

Never driven a Jiachen, but Wuling vehicles offer incredible value. If you like it and it suits your needs, then I say go for it!

Having owned a convertible in Shanghai (which is reasonably close to Zhejiang where your plate is registered), you get maybe 1 month of usable weather. Its either too cold, too hot or too rainy otherwise. They're nice to have for that few weeks where you can have the top down, but for the other 11 months of the year. Much nope.

The mini evs are not known for safety. This cabriolet version isn't being mass-produced, and the weird gameboy verison has low sales. So, if we only focus on the standard mini evs, which retails for about 4k USD, I don't think anyone can reasonably expect much protection in them. It's like a Citreon Ame with actual metal panels. But hey, you get a moving metal box with air conditioning at 4k USD, tough chance finding other options. FYI, the MG4 being sold in the UK is 100% Chinese and has absolutely nothing to do with the UK, despite having a familiar badge. It received a 5 star rating from Euro ncap. As long as you don't cheap out, most cars would be safe, regardless of the country of origin. Of course, emphasis on "Most", there are always outliers.

The people saying "bring it here to the USA" don't realize they're smart for NOT bringing it here. All you'd need is one of these in a bad accident on the interstate, or one fire, and not only would this brand have an instant PR disaster, but it would further ingrain the reputation that Chinese brands make horribly unsafe cars, earned or not. The risk would be too high for them to enter our market unless they had a more conventionally sized sedan or SUV.

What our leader don’t understand is china industry consumer product power of production . We can never catch that up as it’s decades of trail and error. take this car, the builder just design it and had these thousands parts build for him cheaply. Then they sell that car to judge buyer, if it sell well in time they will build it themself. It’s why apple trying to get back in china cause all the part are made there. It’s about the advancement of extruded plastic mechines that they can computer control to make plastic pieces by the thousands in a Day or 2 this is building the molds and strength / tear testing all including in per piece . Think how much that would cost and time elsewhere. So tech production will alway be build there they can assemble them and call it the own. Many of our product are just that, but now it has move up to high price purchases. Even Boeing use china parts and head quarter there. They’re tons the public and congress don’t know. We are so lost.. LOL
