ELEXIO’s interior showcases a 27-inch ultra-thin 4K widescreen display, powered by a Qualcomm 8295 chip, ensuring seamless navigation and performance. The innovative Cyber Eye heads-up display (HUD) provides exceptional readability with a 30,000:1 contrast ratio, enhancing safety under various lighting conditions.
Designed for families, ELEXIO offers a 506-liter trunk, expandable to 1,540 liters, 46 flexible storage areas, as well as Dolby Atmos immersive audio as standard, and an eight-speaker BOSE system. Integrated health monitoring and fatigue detection enhance safety and comfort for all occupants.
ELEXIO’s chassis, damping and braking systems are engineered for optimal performance in both city and long-distance scenarios. Features like Family Brake Mode and active side-bolsters enhance passenger comfort while reducing driver fatigue. Safety is provided by a 720° armored body structure, 77.5 percent high-strength steel content, and an advanced nine-airbag system, including extended side curtain airbags and automatic pop-out mechanical door handles for emergency access.
Equipped with an 88.1 kWh battery, ELEXIO delivers an all-electric range of 722 km (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle), perfect for daily commutes and short trips. DC fast charging replenishes the battery from 30 to 80 percent in approximately 27 minutes. Its charging system is compatible with 99 percent of operators in China. The Snapdragon 8295 chip powers advanced AI capabilities and multi-screen functionality for an intuitive user experience.
