New electric cars in the 2014 Beijing auto show

If the brand “Denza” sounds unfamiliar to you, here are some backgrounds of this auto maker: it is a joint venture between BYD (a Chinese company specialized in electric car technology) and Mercedes-Benz, and its headquarter locates in Shenzhen, China.

Denza has released its first production vehicle in the 2014 Beijing auto show. The Denza electric car has a wheelbase of 113.4 inches, and is equipped with a 115hp electric motor. With a full charge it can reach a range of 186 mile.

One distinct difference between this Denza car and the Tesla sold in the US is, the Denza is not aiming for high performance acceleration and handling, but for typical daily commute purpose. So its price is more affordable than the Tesla. In Chinese market, the Denza electronic car has an effective MSRP similar to the Audi A3 sedan.

Below are some live photos.
