JAC iEV7S (2017-2023)
editThe JAC iEV7S is essentially the electric version of the Refine S2. It is powered by an electric motor producing 116 hp and 270 Nm of torque. The iEV7S comes with a 39 kWh battery, and the range of the iEV7S is 280 kilometers. A version with a larger, 49.5-kWh battery is also available.[6] The same platform later spawned the SOL E20X from SOL, the EV joint venture between Volkswagen and JAC, with only a minor restyling for the front and rear DRGs in an attempt to recreate SEAT's styling on the iEV7S.[7]
The price was 119,500 yuan after subsidies; however, it was later lowered, and as of September 2021 the "official guide price" of the base version is 93,500 yuan.[7][6]
The vehicle is available in at least three European markets: in the Netherlands,[8] in Italy, where it is rebadged as the EVO 3 Electric (stylized as EVO3 Electric);[9] and in Switzerland, where it is available as the JAC e-S2.[10]
