This Sunshine EV is a versatile kei van from China

At first glance, this may be the latest kei van model to come from the Japanese market. However, don’t be deceived by the logo displayed, as it tells all — this is a light commercial vehicle (LCV) produced by SAIC-GM-Wuling.

Focusing on practicality and affordability, the Sunshine EV undeniably draws inspiration from the Japanese kei van lineup, featuring a short front end, small wheels, sliding doors on both the left and right, and tall body dimensions.

When compared by size dimensions, the Sunshine EV is roughly bigger than Japanese kei vans, measuring 3,685 mm in length, 1,530 mm in width, 1,750 mm in height, and with a wheelbase of 2,600 mm.

In its five-seat configuration, the Sunshine EV can offer a cargo space of 527 liters or up to 1,117 liters when the second-row seats are folded flat.

For the cabin space, it provides very basic equipment but emphasizes practicality and versatility for various uses.

Based on the supplied images, this compact van can be transformed into various types of mobile shops, used as a camper van, or converted into a mini workshop complete with professional tools.

In terms of power, this EV features a single electric motor that produces 40 hp with a top speed of around 100 km/h.

Buyers will have the option of a 17.6 kWh battery pack or a 26.5 kWh capacity option that can be swapped through the CATL battery swapping network.
