Jiyue, a Chinese electric vehicle brand co-developed by automaker Geely and search engine Baidu, on Tuesday launched its second model enabled by an automated driving approach similar to that of Tesla at a price range between RMB 199,900 and RMB 219,900 ($28,166-$30,984).
This makes Jiyue the only Chinese carmaker that commits to pursue a so-called vision-based approach, which mainly uses cameras and ditches lidar sensors to achieve semi-autonomous driving functions, according to an announcement.
The interior of the five-meter long sedan shows a futuristic design language with a massive 35.6-inch central screen and without shift levers and turn signal switches, like its sibling, the Jiyue 01 crossover.
The entry-level Jiyue 07 has a driving range of 660 kilometers (410 miles) on a single charge, while the rear-wheel drive varint of the Tesla Model 3 travels 606 km per charge and integrates seven cameras at a price tag of RMB 231,900.
