Solid design, increased dimensions/lipomotor
The Chinese Lipomotor is accelerating its entry into the European market following the giant deal with Stellentis, and we will get an addition of popular electric models.
In September, the C10, the manufacturer's new crossover, will land in Israel, which will be positioned at the center of the family streetcar market, with the promise of a competitive price and direct competition with BYD's Eto 3, the vehicle sold in Israel.
With a length of 4.74 meters, a width of 1.9 meters, a height of 1.68 meters and a wheelbase of 2.825 meters, this is a larger vehicle than the Atto 3. The engine has a power of 231 hp, and a torque of 32 kgm.
There is a separate dashboard for the driver, but almost all operation is done from screens/lipmotor
There is a choice between two battery sizes: 52.9 kWh and an estimated range in European standards of 310 km, and 69.9 kWh and a corresponding range of 410 km. Performence? 7.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and a maximum speed of 170 km/h. There is also a long-range plug-in version, with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine, a 28 kWh battery, and an estimated range in European regulations of 155 km.
In the driver's environment there is a 14.6-inch multimedia screen and a 10.25-inch digital dashboard, with almost no physical switches. The front seats can be fully reclined, creating a 2.7 meter long bed.
The C10 offers the usual range of active safety systems, such as autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and more. The high trim level also has a lidar sensor and a promise of level 3 (out of 5) automatic driving ability, so that under certain conditions the driver's head takes their hands off the steering wheel and their eyes off the road, but in Israel this has not yet been approved for use by the Ministry of Transportation.
In China, the prices of the C10 are similar to those of the Hato 3, whose price in Israel starts at NIS 168,500, but has not yet been updated to include the effects of the purchase tax increase at the beginning of the year. In Israel, its price may start at about NIS 160,000.

T03. Full European standardization and active safety systems/Walla! system, Audi Etzion
At the same time, the small T03 will land in Israel in September after a light facelift, and above all with full European standards, and without the quantity limit of 400 units per year that is currently imposed on it. As part of the standard, the electric mini will receive active safety systems that it currently lacks, which will put it in a competitive position against the Kia Picanto, Hyundai i10 and Toyota Aygo with gasoline engines. The T03 currently costs NIS 100,000.
In the third quarter, Fiat is expected to begin assembling T03 models at its factory in Poland that will arrive semi-assembled from China, as the first implementation of the deal in which Stellentis invested $1.6 billion in Lipomotor, for 20% of the company's shares. Metro Motor will continue to market its company models in Israel.
