Baojun Yep Expected to Arrive in Vietnam With a 5-Door Version: Rugged Appearance, Impressive Off-Road Character, and an Impressive Range of 400km/Charge

The Baojun Yep from SAIC Group is expected to hit Vietnamese shores later this year. Alongside a three-door, the Chinese automaker will offer a five-door variant called the Yep Plus. Think of the relationship between the Yep and the Yep Plus in the same way one would think about the three- and five-door Jimny.

Baojun Yep Plus 2024 is available in two variants with prices of CNY 93,800 (USD 13,635) and CNY 103,800 (USD 15,139). This pricing is only slightly higher than the top-end variant of the Wuling Mini EV (USD 10,230) and is lower than the prices of A-segment cars in Vietnam. However, if the model were to be introduced in Vietnam, it is unlikely that the price would remain this low.

The Baojun Yep Plus has dimensions of 3,996 x 1,760 x 1,726 (mm) and a wheelbase of 2,560 mm. It has a ground clearance of 150 mm, a turning radius of 5.35 m, and a curb weight of 1,325 kg.

With its “Square Box+” design language, the Baojun Yep Plus has a boxy appearance.

The Baojun Yep Plus 2024 is offered in five color options: Cloud Gray, Sea of Clouds White, Sky Blue, Aurora Green, and Space Black.

Despite being a small vehicle, the Baojun Yep Plus is also suitable for light off-roading and camping activities due to its high ground clearance, wide wheel arches, rugged front bumper, and roof rack. A decorative panel in the same color as the body behind the C-pillar adds a touch of style. The new gray twin-spoke wheels.

Both the front and rear light clusters use LED technology.

Aside from its dimensions, the most significant difference compared to the 3-door Baojun Yep is the omission of the small storage box at the rear and the addition of the Baojun logo in the middle of the tailgate. The rear door retains its side-opening design and can support a small table at the back.

Despite being a budget car, the Baojun Yep Plus still offers a relatively modern interior with a minimalist design: an 8.8-inch LCD instrument panel, a 10.1-inch floating central touchscreen, a 3-spoke steering wheel with integrated function keys, and a center console with cup holders and wireless charging.
