The JAC Yiwei 3, also known as the EV3 or EX30 depending on the market, is a city liftback car produced by JAC Motors that was unveiled in April 2023, and has been produced since June 2023. It is the first vehicle to be sold under the Yiwei sub-brand.
Overview
On April 12, 2023 JAC announced the launch of the new Yiwei sub-brand at Auto Shanghai, and revealed a preview of its first product, the Yiwei 3. Presales for the vehicle opened a month later in May, and sales began in June 2023.
The exterior of the Yiwei 3 is available in white, beige, gray, green, and purple paint, all with a contrasting black painted roof. The circle-shaped headlight units feature daytime running lights consisting of 137 LEDs. In the Chinese market, the vehicle is badged with 'EV3' in Latin characters.
In the interior, a 6.2-inch display mounted on the steering column serves as the instrument cluster. Either a 12.8-inch or 15.6-inch touchscreen mounted on the center of the dashboard in an elevated configuration is used as the infotainment interface, and also houses most controls including HVAC settings. The center console has an open design and houses a wireless charging pad, a single retractable cupholder, and an armrest. The interior is available in several different colors, including pink with white, emerald green with grey, and lavender with black.
The Yiwei 3 has optional Level 2 advanced driving assistance functions such as autonomous parking and adaptive cruise control, along with a surround view camera system.
Markets
On February 21, 2024, JAC Motors announced that they will export 10,000 vehicles to the GCC, Central America and South American markets.
The Yiwei 3 was launched in the UAE on July 2, 2024 badged as the EX30 and is exclusively available with the 51.5 kWh battery pack and 100 kW (136 PS; 134 hp) motor.
Powertrain
The Yiwei 3 is the first vehicle built on the JAC DI platform, which will underpin following Yiwei vehicles as well. The platform uses a cell-to-body battery pack using 46mm diameter cylindrical format battery cells, and battery safety system both developed by JAC. It also uses a '9-in-1' powertrain unit, which consists of a drive motor, reduction gearbox, differential, and various high-voltage power electronics integrated into a single unit. This allows the components to occupy 40% less space, allowing for more interior space and an improved 4.95-metre (16.2 ft) turning radius.
The JAC Yiwei 3 is powered by a 34.5, 41 or 51.5 kWh LFP battery pack using cylindrical 46-format battery cells supplied by either Gotion or JAC Huating. A version using a sodium-ion battery pack was announced at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, but has not yet entered production.
A variant with 600 km (370 mi) CLTC range rating is expected to be released in the future.
