Dongfeng eπ 008 debuts at MIIT： the brand’s first new energy medium and large SUV, providing pure electric／range extension power

On February 5th, in MIIT’s "Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products" (the 380th batch), Dongfeng Yipai’s new car, eπ 008, made its debut.

It is not difficult to see from this car that it is positioned as a medium and large SUV, which is expected to compete with the ideal L8 and Wei brand Blue Mountain models. The car is similar to the previously unveiled car Yipai 007. The design of the whole car is very simple, without too many lines for decoration, and the thick through-type front and rear lights are quite eye-catching. The front face of the new car adopts a closed design, and the middle is equipped with a new style of LOGO.

In terms of power, the new car offers two forms of pure electric and range extension, with a maximum speed of 180km/h; the range extension model is equipped with a range extender with a displacement of 1497ml (approximately 1.5L), with a maximum power of 108kW.

According to IT House’s previous report, this SUV model (internally codenamed S59) initially debuted in August last year: it was based on Dongfeng Quantum architecture, equipped with Dongfeng Mach E power system and Dongfeng SOA electronic and electrical architecture.

According to Dongfeng’s official extreme heat test, under the vehicle’s extreme acceleration conditions, the motor controller temperature can be maintained within 90 degrees Celsius, and the motor temperature can be maintained at a constant 65 degrees Celsius.
