JAKARTA - Xiaomi released its first electric car, SU7, which received a warm welcome at the Chinese market. However, now a clone has emerged that has caught the eye.

Reporting from Carnewchina, Monday, October 28, if Xiaomi SU7 comes in an elegant sedan, then the mock model, Yunlei, tries his luck in the SUV segment.

In terms of appearance, Yunlei EV looks very similar to Xiaomi SU7. Starting from the front fascia design with similar curves, to almost identical lamp design. In fact, Xiaomi's signature "Blue Bay" body color is also present in this model.

The Yunlei EV is categorized as a low-speed electric vehicle or Low-Speed Electric Vehicle (LSEV) popular in China. This car has a small dimension, with a more limited range and speed than conventional electric vehicles.

Produced at Gaotang, Shandong Province, about four hours from Beijing, Yunlei EV was created by Shandong Yanlu New Energy. Chinese social media users even dubbed this car "Redmi SU7," referring to the affordable smartphone line from Xiaomi.

Meanwhile, Xiaomi SU7 as the original model comes in three variants in China. The basic variant is equipped with a 73.6 kWh battery capable of producing 299 hp of power, with a cruising range of up to 700 km according to CLTC standards. The fast charging feature allows the car to cover a distance of 310 km with just 15 minutes of charging. The price of this variant is priced at 215,900 yuan or around Rp474 million.

In the Chinese market, LSEV is widely known for offering counterfeit versions of popular vehicles at a more affordable price. Previously, models such as Bodo BD10 that resembled Hummer H2, and replica Bugatti Chiron to Volkswagen UP, also attracted attention.
