The Pocco Duoduo has similar minivan styling to the Hongguang Mini EV. Its length, width and height are 3325*1500*1588mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2275mm, which is a bit larger than the Hongguang Mini EV.

Pocco Duoduo is equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 29 kW and a maximum torque of 110 N/m.

It is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery with 10.3kWh and 14.5kWh capacity options and a NEDC range of 128km and 170km respectively.

The car is a 5-door, 4-seat design with a rear storage capacity of 987L.

In terms of power performance and inner space, the Pocco Duoduo has a significant advantage over the Hongguang Mini EV.

The two are in the same price range, but the former has a big competitive advantage and may bring some pressure to the Hongguang Mini EV.

Last month, another Chinese car company Letin also launched a pure electric mini car, "Letin Mango Hunan TV co-branded model", with a price range of RMB 39,800~54,900 yuan.

The car is also a five-door, four-seat design, with a larger body than the Pocco Duoduo, measuring 3620*1610*1525mm in length, width and height, with a wheelbase of 2,440mm.
