The 2026 Nammi 01 EV retains its rounded, urban-friendly proportions but adds a new “Spirit Green” two-tone paint scheme, pairing a green lower body with a white roof. Other available colour combinations include Fantasy Purple/White, Golden Red/White, and Pink/White.
The car continues to feature split headlamps, a through-type LED daytime running light, and a black mesh-style lower grille. Higher trims add LED headlights with automatic high/low beam, frameless doors, hidden door handles, and 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
Dimensions remain unchanged at 4,020 mm (L) × 1,810 mm (W) × 1,570 mm (H) with a 2,663 mm wheelbase, aligning the Nammi 01 EV closely with rivals in the compact hatchback category.
Inside, the model continues its minimalist layout with a 5-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch central display, now upgraded to 1920×1080 resolution. The infotainment system includes 8 GB of memory, supports AI-based voice control, dual-zone voice wake-up, and adds a “pet mode” for stationary use.
A new green interior theme is introduced. Higher trims offer leather seats, 50W wireless phone charging, ventilated and heated front seats, and a 6-way electric driver’s seat with memory and welcome function. The rear seats fold fully flat, expanding luggage capacity from 326 litres to 945 litres.
All variants are powered by a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering 70 kW (94 hp) and 160 Nm of torque. Two battery options are available:
- 31.45 kWh battery: CLTC range 330 km
- 42.3 kWh battery: CLTC range 430 km
The Nammi 01 EV supports external power output (V2L) and includes a 540° panoramic camera system. Driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane keeping assist (LKA), integrated cruise assist (ICA), and automatic emergency braking (AEB).
In September, the Nammi 01 recorded 2,625 sales, ranking 10th among compact EVs in China. With prices below 60,000 yuan and updates focused on technology and colour personalisation, the 2026 model directly competes with popular models like the BYD Seagull (69,800–85,800 yuan / 9,830–12,090 USD) and Geely Geome Xingyuan (68,800–98,800 yuan / 9,700–13,920 USD).
