Our review should start with a story about a new Chinese startup upgrade based on ex-Shanghai Volkswagen manager Gangam Chalandon to create and manufacture electric vehicles. The new Chinese start-up has its own production facilities, and the new crossover upgrade ME7 drive will get on the conveyor of one of the Soueast factories. According to preliminary information, it is planned to produce 60 thousand cars a year.

However, the protagonist of the new Chinese electric upgrade launch is a more odious figure – designer Hakan Saracoglu, who created a modern, stylish and original body design for the new electric crossover upgrade ME7 drive. Prior to joining Renovate, Hakan Saracoglu worked for Porsche and Chery and have a hand in creating the exterior of the German sports car Porsche 918 Spyder and Porsche 911 RTS GT2, and Chery Arrizo 5, Arrizo 7 is Chery, Chery Tiggo, Chery Tiggo 5 and 7 So it was the former Porsche designer Hakan Saracoglu (Hakan Saracoglu) who was presented at the official event of the first-born update launch – the ME7 electric drive crossover.

The new Chinese electric crossover upgrade ME7 Drive flaunts a modern and stylish body exterior design. The car looks harmonious, but… in a strange way, the Chinese novelty is similar to the German Audi Q5 crossover and, especially, the design of the rear of the body is practically the same as the trunk. I'm not going to accuse the designer of plagiarism, but we think that Hakan Saracoglu simply took the standard Audi Q5 and changed its design to his taste. This Chinese electric crossover looks great.

Featuring new full LED headlights and LED taillights, powerful hollow body sides, huge round wheel arches filled with large 21-inch wheels with special light alloy wheels that create minimal turbulence and low profile 255/40 R21 tires and, compact side windows, stylish roof dome, supported at the rear of the original pillar.

The body is an electric crossover with excellent aerodynamics: a coefficient of 0.28 cd.

• The exterior dimensions of the body of the upgrade ME7 Drive 2019-2020 are 4655mm long, 1963mm wide and 1640mm high, with a wheelbase of 2825mm.

The Chinese electric crossover car in body dimensions is very close to the new generation Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. It seems that this fact is not accidental, since the novelty is essentially a premium crossover, which is the best confirmation of the chic interior of the new Chinese electric crossover with high quality materials (genuine and artificial leather, carbon fiber) and just a great set of the most modern equipment.
