Jiyue 07 is an EV sedan from Geely and Baidu, potential Tesla Model 3 rival?


Geely seems very serious about competing with Tesla in the Chinese market. Following the introduction of the Jiyue 01 model as a direct competitor to the Tesla Model Y, the Chinese market is now seeing the arrival of the new Jiyue 07 model, a powerful electric fastback sedan that will challenge the Tesla Model 3.
The Jiyue 07 shares the same Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform used in the Volvo EX90, EX30, Polestar 4, and most Zeekr models.
The base 07 variant comes equipped with a 268 hp electric motor and a 71.4 kWh battery pack, while the all-wheel-drive version comes with twin electric motors producing 536 hp and a 100 kWh battery pack.
The exterior design of the 07 shares many similarities with the previously showcased SUV 01, featuring aggressive main headlights, curved LED bar, and similar rear light units.
Based on the teaser images provided earlier, the interior of the 07 features a minimalist layout, starting with a single elongated screen, followed by a yoke-style steering wheel design.

Always hoping that ICE and manual transmissions stay relevant and don’t disappear. It’s more about balance than just power.
