Last month Niu Chuangxin Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Niu) officially announced the new EV brand Niutron (Chinese 自游家). Niu is famous in China for its electric scooters. Today they unveiled the design and some specs of the first electric vehicle.
Niutron’s official WeChat account has posted photographs of the vehicle (SUV) with a design concept called “Urban Exploring.”
The new vehicle is classified as a high-end mid-to-large 5-seat SUV with pure electric and extended-range hybrid power. The production will start in March 2022.
Looking at the overall look, we can say that Niutron has done a fabulous job, keeping the design minimalistic.

The headlight gives a retro look known as Dual track ring lights if we look at the car’s front. Thanks to the elevated engine cover and black front surround, the front has a commanding presence, the front has a commanding presence, the front has a commanding presence.
Side Profile
The car’s side profile has a soothing yet straightforward design with a Digital dynamic battery charge indicator embedded in the C pillar and yet managed to make it perfectly blend in with the whole structure of the car.
The new car’s rising waistline form provides a much more dynamic visual experience, and the black body pillars give it the appearance of a suspended roof. It’s worth highlighting that the new car’s C Pillars has a metal-textured cover plate is included on the column.
Rear
The rear end gets a nice and beautiful Niutron logo that compliments the design. And then it also has integrated roof spoilers and side airfoils. At the same time, the penetrating taillight group uses a matrix design that complements the penetrating LED light group on the front face.

According to Niutron, the car’s dimensions measure about 4,915 mm in length, 1950mm in width, 1750mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2900mm.

Nice looking, yes, but shouldn’t that be 1750 mm for the height spec ?
And, how will they manage to get a license to sell passenger cars? The field is crowded, and Beijing is wary.
