The Neta U (Chinese: 哪吒U; pinyin: Nézhā U) is a battery electric compact crossover SUV produced by Hozon Auto after 2019 under the Neta (Nezha) brand, a Chinese all-electric car marque, manufactured by the Zhejiang Hezhong New Energy Automobile Company.

Overview

Hozon Auto launched the Neta U during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show in April 2019, it was built on Hozon Auto's EPT2.0 platform, which is Hozon's second generation powertrain platform.[citation needed]

The Neta U was originally previewed as the NETA U pre-production concept at launch and was changed to Neta U in August 2018.[1] It went on sale at the end of 2019.[2]

The power of the Neta U comes from a front positioned electric motor producing 150 horsepower (112 kW; 152 PS) and 310 N⋅m (229 lb⋅ft), mated to a battery pack capable of a range up to 500 kilometres (310 mi).[3][4]

Neta U-Saloon

The Neta U-saloon is a purpose-built version of the Neta U, revealed in December 2020, designed for vehicle hire services. The model features a 4-seater configuration, removing the front passenger seat. Interior features include adjustable rear seats, footrests for the rear passengers, a large projector screen, wireless charging for the back seats, and additional storage and cup holders. The prototype on display also features a sliding door that opens forward. The model is available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants, with the front-wheel drive model producing 204 horsepower (152 kW; 207 PS) and 310 N⋅m (229 lb⋅ft) and the all-wheel drive variant producing 299 horsepower (223 kW; 303 PS) and 530 N⋅m (391 lb⋅ft) with a range of 660 km (410 miles). The model is available in China in 2021.[5]
