On April 12, two models of the Baojun Yep Plus were officially launched in China, priced at 93,800 yuan (12,900 USD) and 103,800 yuan (14,300 USD), respectively. The Plus is a larger variant of the original smaller 3-door Baojun Yep. Baojun is a brand under the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture.
Positioned as a small pure electric SUV that sits on the Tianyu architecture, the Baojun Yep Plus measures 3996/1760/1726 mm, with a 2560 mm wheelbase. Its laden ground clearance is 150 mm, turning radius is 5.35 m, and curb weight is 1325 kg. Power comes from a front-mounted single motor that outputs 75 kW and 180 Nm, paired with a 41.9 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack supplied by Guoxuan High-Tech. Its top speed is 150 km/h and the CLTC range is 401 km. Both fast and slow chargings are supported. Under fast charging, it takes 35 minutes to replenish the battery from 30% to 80%. Four driving modes are also supported: economy+, economy, standard, and sports.
Furthermore, the Baojun Yep Plus continues the design of the Baojun Yep, adopting the “Square Box+” design language with five doors and a four-seater layout, giving an off-road vibe. The closed front face is decorated with black panels and is equipped with LED headlights on both sides.
Other notable design elements include a suspended roof, roof luggage racks, 16-inch double five-spoke rims, and round retro taillights. Additionally, the original external box design at the rear is cancelled. Instead, the Baojun logo is added in the center of the rear. The tailgate still maintains a side-opening design, with an internal volume of 12 L, and can support a rear small table.
Five exterior colors are available.
Inside, the cockpit has a three-spoke steering wheel, an 8.8-inch full LCD instrument panel, and a 10.1-inch floating central control car screen. The center console has a cup holder and a wireless charging pad for mobile phones.
As a Plus model, there are 28 storage spaces throughout the interior and the trunk provides a standard 385 L of storage space. After the rear seats are folded down, the maximum trunk volume can be expanded to 1715 L. Moreover, the front headroom is 1043 mm, the rear headroom is 1061 mm, the front legroom is 913 mm, and the rear legroom is 870 mm.
I loved this model!! I hope Baojun to come to Brazil, it has very cool cars at a very affordable price. Yep and Cloud are my favorite models from the brand. If it were available in Brazil I would definitely buy this model.
