The new FreZe Nikrob is produced by Dartz, a company known for its exclusive luxury SUVs. However, this is not their development, but a European version of the Chinese Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV. The electric car was created jointly by specialists from SAIC and General Motors. In China, it is even more popular than the Tesla Model 3.
The FreZe Nikrob is slightly larger than a Smart in size – 2917 mm in length, 1493 mm in width, and 1621 mm in height. At the same time, it is a four-seater. The electric car differs from its Chinese counterpart only in LED headlights and FreZe logos on the body.
It should be noted that the Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV is significantly cheaper – it costs $4,100-6,600. But the FreZe Nikrob has a richer trim – even the base version includes a set of airbags, air conditioning, parking sensors, stability control, and automatic braking systems. In the Chinese car, even the top version has only one airbag and no ESP.
Also offered is a more expensive FreZe Nikrob version for 14,999 euros with improved interior trim and a rear-view camera. In this case, a larger battery of 13.8 kWh is installed (in the base – 9.2 kWh), allowing to travel about 200 km without recharging.
Both modifications are equipped with a modest electric motor of 17.4 hp and 85 Nm. The maximum speed is 100 km/h.
