Yueyi 08 Officially Opens Pre-orders: Starting at RMB 104,900; 2,900-mm Wheelbase Redefines Value Benchmark for B+ Segment BEV Coupes

On May 29, Yueyi — FAW Group’s all-new NEV brand — officially launched pre-orders for its inaugural strategic model, the Yueyi 08. The pre-order price range is RMB 104,900–144,900. The vehicle offers one extended-range variant and five battery-electric variants, with CLTC-rated electric ranges of either 565 km or 650 km. The top-tier 650-km model features an 800V high-voltage platform and 6C ultra-fast charging, delivering a ‘one-kilometer-per-second’ refueling speed — positioning it squarely against mainstream intelligent BEV coupes in the B+ segment.

Class-Defying Dimensions + Fastback Design: Defining Next-Gen Coupe Aesthetics

The Yueyi 08 is positioned as an intelligent BEV coupe in the B+ segment, with exterior dimensions of 4,920 mm (L) × 1,920 mm (W) × 1,475 mm (H) and a wheelbase of 2,900 mm — significantly exceeding the ~2,800-mm norm for conventional B-segment vehicles. This provides a robust foundation for generous rear legroom and expansive cabin shoulder room. Its low-drag fastback silhouette achieves an industry-leading drag coefficient of just 0.198 Cd. Combined with an optimal 1:4.1 wheel-to-wheelbase ratio and 1:2.1 wheel-to-height ratio, the design balances sporty stance and aerodynamic efficiency.

The front fascia integrates a ‘Starry River Waterfall’ digital lighting cluster and a ‘Horizon Flowing River’ full-width LED DRL strip. Frameless power-closing doors and frameless side mirrors further elevate tech appeal and ceremonial presence. Exterior paint options include Starlight Purple, Midnight Black, Titanium Gray, Sky Blue, Forest Green, and Electric White — six distinctive hues. Interior themes offer Quiet Black, Warm Brown, Refreshing Purple, and Relaxed Gray — four color schemes designed to harmonize youthful expression with cabin mood management.

Advanced Powertrain: Rear-Wheel Drive Standard, Optimizing Both Performance & Range

All variants adopt a rear-wheel-drive layout to ensure responsive handling and efficient power delivery. The extended-range version pairs a 27.8-kWh battery pack with a rear motor producing 202 kW maximum output, achieving a 0–100 km/h sprint in 6.4 seconds and a CLTC combined range of 1,765 km — enabling true ‘once-a-week charging’ convenience for daily commutes. BEV variants come with either a 59-kWh or 70.5-kWh battery, both matched to the same 202-kW rear motor, with the quickest 0–100 km/h time at 5.9 seconds.

Notably, the 650-km BEV flagship adopts an 800V silicon-carbide high-voltage platform and 6C ultra-fast charging technology, enabling peak charging power above 250 kW. This delivers a ‘one-kilometer-per-second’ replenishment experience — i.e., approximately 1 km of CLTC range added per second of charging — dramatically alleviating range anxiety.

Intelligent Driving & Cockpit: Dual-Chip Power from Huawei Qiankun + Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P

For intelligence, the Yueyi 08 comes standard with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip (dual-NPU architecture), delivering 30 TOPS of AI computing power. It supports multi-screen synchronization, AI voice interaction across all scenarios, and an immersive audio system with up to 23 speakers. For ADAS, it features Huawei’s Qiankun ADS 2.0 intelligent driving platform, integrating lidar, multi-camera vision, and millimeter-wave radar. It enables 24 advanced functions — including highway NOA navigation assist, memory parking, and 120-meter trace-reversal — covering expressways, highways, and underground parking garages.

Safety is equally robust: a ‘nine-horizontal-nine-vertical’ cage-body structure, 83% high-strength steel usage, door anti-collision beams rated at 2,200 MPa, and nine airbags — including a far-side airbag — collectively form a comprehensive active and passive safety framework.

Market Outlook: B+ BEV Coupe at the RMB 100,000 Tier — Right Time for Value Breakthrough

In the competitive RMB 100,000–150,000 NEV sedan segment, the Yueyi 08 enters with class-defying specs: a 2,900-mm wheelbase, standard rear-wheel drive, 800V ultra-fast charging, and Huawei intelligent driving — underscoring a clear ‘technology-for-all’ philosophy. Against similarly priced rivals — such as the upcoming 2026 Nissan N6 or domestic competitors like Geely Exeed Star 7 — it differentiates itself via superior e-drive architecture, faster energy replenishment, and more mature intelligent driving capabilities. Pre-order incentives reinforce value: RMB 88 deposit offsets RMB 2,000 off the final purchase price, plus a RMB 3,999 charging package — lowering the barrier to ownership.
