The FAW Yueyi 08 flagship sedan launches July 12 with pre-sale prices of 104,900-144,900 yuan across 6 variants. It offers pure electric and range-extended powertrains, plus an 8295P cockpit chip and LiDAR. Dimensions are 4920×1920×1475mm with a 2900mm wheelbase. Electric range is 565/650km; the range-extended variant delivers 240km electric plus 1765km total range.
Product Positioning: A Flagship with Genuine Value
The Yueyi 08 targets the mid-size pure-electric sedan segment with its 4920mm length and 2900mm wheelbase. The 104,900-144,900 yuan pre-sale price is highly competitive—this range typically only buys compact EVs, while Yueyi 08 delivers near-5-meter length and segment-above equipment.
Six trim levels cover the full demand spectrum. The dual powertrain layout is another key selling point: pure electric for urban users with reliable charging; range-extended for those needing 1765km total range. For Central Asian markets with sparse charging infrastructure, the range-extended version holds significant practical value.
- Length 4920mm, wheelbase 2900mm, true mid-size sedan
- Pre-sale price from $14,500 equivalent, 6 variants
- Dual powertrains: pure electric and range-extended
- Range-extended total range of 1765km eliminates anxiety
Intelligence and Aerodynamics Highlights
The Yueyi 08's intelligent features are top-tier for the segment: the 8295P chip provides computing power for complex voice interaction, multi-screen linkage, and OTA updates. LiDAR inclusion means advanced driver assistance—rare at this price point.
The 0.198 drag coefficient is a technical standout. For comparison, Tesla Model 3 is 0.219, BYD Han is 0.233. Lower drag means lower highway consumption and longer real-world range—valuable for Central Asian highway networks where high-speed cruising dominates.

Overseas Market Product Logic
The Yueyi 08 shows deep understanding of export markets. The 1765km total range directly addresses Russian and Central Asian buyers' need for long-distance capability. The region's vast territory with cities hundreds of kilometers apart makes charging infrastructure sparse, giving range-extended powertrains irreplaceable value.
Even after export tariffs and logistics, the $14,500 starting price should remain competitive. For budget-conscious Central Asian families seeking space and equipment, the "large size + low price + high configuration" formula is highly attractive. EX1000.COM will track overseas certification and export plans.
- Range-extended powertrain fits infrastructure-limited regions
- LiDAR and 8295P chip at $14,500-level—segment-defying value
- 0.198 drag coefficient reduces highway consumption for Central Asian roads
- 216 LED lamps boost visual identity and brand recognition
