Overview
edit
In 2019, Qiantu Motor presented a prototype of a small electric car, Qiantu K20 Concept, and the production version of the K20 debuted two years later on the occasion of the company's return to the market after financial problems.[1] The subcompact hatchback received an avant-garde silhouette with an extensive set of embossments enabling two-color body painting and a wide package of vehicle styling personalization depending on the buyer's preferences.[2]
The K20 went on sale right after its premiere in June 2022, limited only to the Mainland Chinese market. The car was distinguished by the manufacturer's aggressive pricing policy, which assumed relatively low values, from 86,800 yuan for the basic variant and 149,800 yuan for the top version.[3]
