The Chevrolet Menlo (畅巡) is an electric compact wagon/CUV, sold exclusively in China. It is the first Chevrolet EV available in China, as the Chevrolet Bolt is not sold there.[1]
History
The Chevrolet Menlo is based on the Chevrolet FNR-X concept shown at the 2017 Auto Shanghai show. The production version of the Menlo debuted at a gala event in Hefei, Anhui on November 8, 2019,[2] and was also shown at the 2019 Auto Guangzhou show. Pre-ordering began in December, and deliveries started on February 20, 2020.[1]
Thanks to a government subsidy of up to 100,000 yuan (approximately $14,250 USD), the Menlo is the lowest-priced compact electric crossover in China.[1]
Unlike the rest of the Chevrolet's models, the Menlo has a unique trim level naming scheme, which includes Starshare, Galaxy, Nebula and Starlux. It also features three driving modes (standard, sport, and economy) and three levels of energy recycling.[1]
Battery
The Menlo has a lithium-ion battery, with 52.5 kWh capacity and a range of up to 410 km on the NEDC. It generates up to 110 kW (148 hp; 150 PS) and 350 N⋅m (258 lb⋅ft) torque.[1] This battery is also used in the Buick Velite 6 Plus.
