The Joylong iFly (艾菲- Aifei) is a minivan produced by the Chinese automaker Jiangte Joylong Automobile since 2002. It is available as a seven-seater with petrol and electric versions available.
Overview
Debuting during the 2014 Beijing Auto Show in April 2014 with a launch on the Chinese auto market in the second half of 2014,[1] the power of the Joylong iFly comes from the 4G69 165hp 2.4 liter four-cylinder Mitsubishi-sourced engine producing 147hp and 200nm.[2]
The design is controversial as the Joylong iFly heavily resembles the Toyota Alphard with spy shots during development confirming that the second generation Toyota Alphard was used as a benchmark vehicle.[3]
Prices of the Joylong iFly ranges from 129,800 yuan to 312,800 yuan.[4]
Variants
Joylong iFly EV
The electric versions of the Joylong iFly is available as the Joylong EF5 and Joylong EF9. The Joylong EF5 features a 52.8 kWh battery capable of a range of 180 kilometers connected to a single motor powering the rear wheels.[5]
Doda V8
The Doda V8 is a rebadged van based on the iFly, powered by a 2.4 liter V8 engine[6] and priced higher than the iFly.[6] The vehicle was first previewed to foreign BAIC VIPs and dealers on April 2016, seen with an automatic transmission.[7]
The van was officially launched in 2018 with a 2.0 liter engine and 5-gear manual transmission.[8]
The Doda V8 is produced by BAIC Ruili, a subsidiary of Beijing Auto Industry Corporation. Ruili functions as a local production facility for BAIC, with productions including the BJ40, and Doda vehicles including the Doda V2 based on the Weiwang M20, and the Doda V8.[9]
