History
In addition to the Yewt and Cargo, the Australian startup that aims to develop electric cars in 2019 also introduced a small passenger car called the ACE Urban. Like the two afformentioned models, the car adopted oval proportions with two-tone body paint and an upturned window line. The vehicle can transport up to 4 people.[1]
Pre-orders of the Urban became available in February 2021 and it is expected to reach its first customers in Australia in mid-2022.[2] The vehicle is to be manufactured in Adelaide, along with the company's other products.
Specifications
Like other models in the ACE range, the Urban hatchback offers a range of 150 to 200 kilometres on a single charge, depending on driving style.[3] Also, the Urban has a maximum speed of 100 kph and also takes up to 8 hours to charge. The Urban starts at $35,995 AUD however it also has many optionals like Seat heating and a soft carpet. Power assisted steering is also only an optional, which is unusual for a modern car.
