Design and features

The Wuling Air EV is based on the Global Small Electric Vehicle (GSEV) platform, which has been developed under an SAIC-GM-Wuling partnership.

The Air EV gets a minimalistic design. The hatchback’s front fascia features parallel headlights and a horizontal chrome bar, which further extends to the side-mirrors. The EV is offered in five colour options: blue, green, pink, white, and yellow. 

The electric hatchback comes with notable features such as an AC, heater, steering wheel with control buttons, digital instrument cluster, touchscreen infotainment system, and 50:50 split rear seats, depending on the variant.

Battery and specifications

The Wuling Air EV is offered with two lithium-battery options: with a capacity of 17.3 kWh and 28.4 kWh. The rear-wheel drive vehicle comes with either a 30 kW (40 hp) or a 50 kW ( 67 hp) permanent magnet motor. The EV can speed up to 100 kmph, and the top-spec model is expected to provide a maximum range of 300 km.
