The Dayun Yuehu ES3 (Chinese: 大运悦虎ES3) is a battery electric city car produced by the Chinese manufacturer Dayun Group. The vehicle was launched in China in 2021 as an entry-level urban electric vehicle, and later entered several export markets including Germany under the name Dayun ES3.[1][2]

Overview

Rear view

The Yuehu ES3 was introduced as a compact battery electric crossover aimed at urban mobility and low-cost electric transportation. The model features a compact five-door body and a front-mounted electric motor driving the front wheels.[3]

Chinese-market versions of the Yuehu ES3 use a lithium iron phosphate battery pack and are marketed with a NEDC range figure of approximately 300 km.[4]

The vehicle measures 3,695 mm long with a wheelbase of 2,410 mm, positioning it in the small urban crossover segment.[5]

Export markets

Germany

The Yuehu ES3 entered the German market in 2023 under the simplified name Dayun ES3. The model was imported by Lada Automobile GmbH and marketed as one of the least expensive battery electric vehicles available in Germany.[6][7]

German-market vehicles were equipped with a 35 kW (48 hp) electric motor and a 33.5 kWh battery pack. The vehicle had a claimed range of up to 300 km and a top speed of 100 km/h.[8]

German automotive media compared the vehicle to the Dacia Spring, noting its similar dimensions and positioning as a budget-oriented electric city car.[9][10]

Because the imported model lacked full European type approval, German registrations were conducted through individual vehicle approval procedures, preventing eligibility for the country's EV purchase subsidy program.[11]

Specifications

The Yuehu ES3 uses a front-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 35 kW (48 hp) and 105 Nm of torque.[12]

Battery capacity varies by market and specification, with figures ranging between 30.66 kWh and 33.5 kWh reported by automotive publications and distributor specifications.[13][14]

Reported equipment levels include automatic climate control, rear-view camera systems, keyless entry, cruise control, and an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen.[15][16][17]
