Dewan Farooque Motors Limited (DFML) ‘Honri-VE’ will be the vehicle for e-taxi service across the province, following the model of China’s electric taxi system

[umans]

Bad choice for taxi. This car requires overnight charging, no fast charging support. Claimed range is 200kms, actual will be less.

[ifadey]

War gae. Honri have bad initial reviews. Owners are reporting quality issues from fit n finish, paint, and poor suspension.

[mgalaxy3]

Was expected.

Not many Chinese cars are quality so have to be cautious against new players.

Stick to established Chinese products that made a good mark in global markets.

The Dewan group was among the maybe two or three vying for the E -taxi scheme. Not enough choices in the nascent Pakistani EV market . Honri is not one of the big names in China . But their other models look the same or maybe inferior to this one and some with awful interior . . 1. https://en.honriauto.com/ 2. http://www.hrddqc.com/

Chery’s Exlantix ET became Car of the Year 2024 in China

China Central Television (CCTV) held the fifth China Auto Awards ceremony on January 27. It was broadcast on the CCTV-2 channel. This ceremony is often called the “Oscars of the Automotive World” in China. The jury for this event was formed by representatives of the CATARC research center, the Association of Automobile Manufacturers and Dealers, the Society of Automotive Engineers, and the Council for the Promotion of International Trade in the Automotive Industry.

Exlantix ET sells in China under Exeed Sterra ET name. However, this vehicle will sell internationally as Exlantix. According to CCTV, it stood out of the 31 shortlisted models in 2024, becoming the Car of the Year 2024. We will highlight that the EREV variant of the Exlantix ET won this event. According to Chery’s Executive Vice President Gao Xinhua, this vehicle’s three core technologies secured the win this year: range extender system, four-wheel drive, and intelligent driving system.

The EREV variant of the Exlantix ET has a 1.5-liter turbocharged generator under the hood with a thermal efficiency of 44.5% and a fuel consumption of 5.9 liters per 100 km. Thanks to a 67-liter fuel tank, the Exlantix ET boasts a mixed range of 1500 km under CLTC conditions. The Gotion-made LFP battery for 41 kWh allows the ET crossover to achieve 240 km of CLTC range in EV mode.

The second electric motor for 195 kW (261 hp) powers the rear axle of this SUV. The system’s total power output reaches 345 kW (485 hp) and 634 Nm.
