The model, besides being the cheapest from the two companies, can also be a low-cost option in the automotive industry. The car measures 3.65 meters in length, 1.67 meters in width, and 1.54 meters in height.
The E-JSI is equipped with a motor capable of delivering 61 horsepower and a torque of 15.3 kgfm, allowing the vehicle to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 13 seconds. Its range, being an urban car, is up to 302 km.
