We know that Chinese groups are quick to create new automotive brands. Dongfeng, too, has just unveiled the Nammi 01, with interesting technological and aesthetic features.
A compact electric car that offers good range at a very competitive price: it reaches 430 km on the Chinese CLTC cycle and is priced from 74,800 to 104,800 yuan, equivalent to €9,700 to €13,600. Since Dongfeng recently debuted in Italy, it is not excluded that they may choose to introduce their new brand, Nammi, to our region.
However, if Dongfeng admits to bringing it to Europe, the price could rise to €26,100 or 195.000 DKK still making it one of the most affordable electric cars at the moment.
Nammi 01, modern and lively
The Nammi 01 represents the first model of the new brand dedicated to more affordable electric vehicles for the younger generation. It is based on the Dongfeng Quantum Architecture S3 platform, and the company specifies that it was designed for Europe.
Nammi 01 is 4.03 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, with a wheelbase of 2.6 meters due to extremely reduced overhangs, allowing for ample interior space. The car can accommodate five people and is available in a range of vibrant colors, including yellow, white, blue, and combinations of these shades. Standard 16-inch wheels can be upgraded to 17-inch ones.
Aesthetically, it features a modern and clean design, typical of Chinese cars, with triangular and enclosed headlights. There are design elements usually found in more premium cars, such as the suspended-effect roof and frameless doors.
Moving inside, Nammi 01 offers two interior color combinations: black and white, and black and gray. The cockpit features a 5-inch LCD instrument panel, a two-spoke multifunction steering wheel, and a floating 12.8-inch central screen. The vehicle supports remote control via smartphone and over-the-air updates.
Nammi 01 is equipped with a level 2 autonomous driving system and advanced driver assistance systems, including blind-spot monitoring, autonomous parking, remote parking, and frontal collision warning.
Additional features include ambient lighting with 32 colors, wireless phone charging, a retractable drawer under the glove compartment, and a front seat lowering mode with a single click.
Up to 430 km of range
Nammi 01 is equipped with a front permanent magnet synchronous motor capable of delivering 70 kW/95 HP and 160 Nm of torque. This compact vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 140 km/h, making it suitable for occasional long-distance travel.
As for the battery, there are two options: 31.45 kWh and 42.3 kWh, both of the LFP type, with promised ranges of 330 km and 430 km, respectively, according to the CLTC cycle. The manufacturer claims that Nammi 01 can recharge from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes using a DC charger. Additionally, from the official photos, the presence of Vehicle-To-Grid technology is noticeable, making the car a source of energy for others, making it unique in the segment
