Chinese Chevrolet will offer electrocreaser Menlo

19 August 2019

GM was the first to make the electric vehicle an impressive look

Although the Chinese automotive market now the heavy seas, the Chinese branch of the Chevrolet on the mountain gave new electrocreaser called Menlo, and it looks really cool.

In fact the five-door Menlo dimensions 4665х1813х1538 mm and a wheelbase of 2660 mm, more attractive but less than perfect cousin of the Chevrolet Bolt. It is built on the same platform as the Chinese Buick Velite 6, and its electric motor manufacturing company Huayu Automotive Electric Systems develops 174 HP (128 kW) and develops a maximum speed of 150 km/h Electric car features a lithium-ion battery production of one of the subsidiaries of the company SAIC, but its capacity is still unknown. Velite single-platform 6 features a range of 254 km, so you can focus on the data.

The Chinese automobile blog CarNewsChina posted images of the new items last Wednesday on his page on Facebook, and although none of the pictures does not have high resolution, still can be judged that the exterior Menlo borrowed individual elements from multiple models in the GM lineup. Clearly visible features of the models Bolt and Volt and even a Blazer.

While it is clear that Menlo was not destined to conquer the U.S. market, it will probably succeed in China, although maybe not in all areas.
It is assumed that the vehicle will be officially presented in September at the motor show in Chengdu, then there will be more information about its technical characteristics.
