The Foxtron Model E is a battery electric vehicle designed by Foxtron, a joint venture of Foxconn and Yulon Motor, using the same Foxtron MIH platform as the Foxtron Model C sport utility vehicle and Foxtron Model B crossover utility vehicle. The prototype luxury sedan was styled by Pininfarina and unveiled in October 2021.
History
The prototype Model E was shown at Hon Hai Tech Day on October 18, 2021;[2] Foxconn founder Terry Gou drove it onto the stage.[1] The prototype was shown later at the International Motor Expo Hong Kong (IMXHK) that December.[3]
In 2022, Foxconn CEO Liu Yangwei announced the Model E would begin production in early 2024.[4]
Design
The prototype shown in 2021 had a claimed range of 750 km (470 mi) with maximum combined output of 550 kW (740 hp; 750 PS) and 750 N⋅m (550 lbf⋅ft) from the two traction motors, split 150 kW (200 hp; 200 PS) in the front and 400 kW (540 hp; 540 PS) in the rear. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) is 2.8 seconds.[1]
It uses smart glass windows for privacy and sun protection.[5] The rear seat is designed to be a "mobile office", featuring a screen with connectivity to handheld devices.[2]
