Chinese manufacturers have definitely decided to flood the European market with cheap electric cars and put additional pressure on the already weakened European auto industry. The last in the series is the Livan X3 Pro, a small SUV with a price of 15,000 euros.

This 4 m long and 1,180 kg subcompact SUV should reach the European market by the end of the year. Its main goal will be to attract customers with a competitive price, 5,000 euros cheaper than the most affordable European rival, which is understandable considering that the segment of subcompact SUVs makes up about 1/5 of the European market.

The X3 Pro will be equipped with a state-of-the-art infotainment system, with an 8-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity, multi-function sports steering wheel, rear parking camera, hill start assist, ESP, traction control, four-wheel disc brakes and 16-inch alloy wheels. The interior is very spacious for a car of this size and offers a luggage space of 400 liters.

Under the bonnet will be a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with 103 hp (77 kW) and 103 lb-ft (140 Nm) of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission (automatic gearbox available at extra charge). It will have a warranty of 5 years or 100,000 km.
