Overview
The Bestune E05 was first shown at the 2021 Haikou International New Energy Vehicle and Connected Mobility Show.[2] It has 190 horsepower (142 kW; 193 PS) and a range of 450 kilometres (280 mi).[3] The E05 has dimensions of 4451 mm/1844 mm/1681 mm. It is planned to be exported to Vietnam and Russia in mid-2020.[4][5]
Just like the BYD D1, the Bestune NAT features a sliding door on the right side to free passengers from opening the door and potentially hitting cyclists or pedestrians.
Four different versions are planned with two versions designated for taxis, a variant for the DiDi ride hailing service and a variant for the FAW-backed T3 ride hailing service.[6]
