The “knightly” configuration of the Panda Mini Knight has entered the Chinese market. The new product differs from the original three-door in its comical off-road accessories: black protective inserts have been added around the perimeter of the body, the bumpers have been modified, roof rails and a ladder a la Land Rover Defender have appeared on the roof, and additional handles have been added to the hood. There are also all-terrain towing eyes.
Geely Panda Mini has been on sale since the beginning of the year, and it’s time for marketing promotions. The Chinese brand offered a special version with a 4,000 yuan discount, a lifetime warranty for the first owner, and a free charger. The “knightly” electric car has many striking features.
Geely designers “trolled” off-road fans and added decorative elements to the three-meter city car in the style of real all-terrain vehicles. The work was serious: we had to re-draw the plug imitating the radiator grille, develop original bumpers, take care of fastening the sills and arch trims, and also create a spoiler that minimally affects the aerodynamics.

There are no changes in technology: the Panda Mini Knight is offered with a 41-horsepower (110 Nm) synchronous electric motor in the rear axle drive and an autonomy of 200 kilometers. The design is simple: there is a continuous axle at the rear, and a lithium-iron-phosphate battery with a capacity of 17 kilowatt-hours between the axles. The new product supports fast charging and can charge from 30 to 80 percent in half an hour.
Taking into account the discount, the special version costs 49,900 yuan (660 thousand rubles), but from October the city car will be sold for 53,900 yuan. A basic electric car in China costs only 29,900 yuan (397 thousand rubles), but the power reserve will have to be sacrificed: the autonomy will be only 120 kilometers
