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.[3] 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.[4] Presales for the vehicle opened a month later in May, and sales began in June 2023.[5]
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.[6] 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.[5][6] The center console has an open design and houses a wireless charging pad, a single retractable cupholder, and an armrest.[6] The interior is available in several different colors, including pink with white, emerald green with grey, and lavender with black.[4]
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.[4][6]
Markets
On February 21, 2024, JAC Motors announced that they will export 10,000 vehicles to the GCC, Central America and South American markets.[7]
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.[8]
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.[4][9]
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.[4][10] A version using a sodium-ion battery pack was announced at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, but has not yet entered production.[4]
A variant with 600 km (370 mi) CLTC range rating is expected to be released in the future.[6]
