Tires on Keyton EX7 (Кеутон)

A compact minivan has been part of the Chinese brand's lineup since 2018. In fact, it is a modified version of the 2016 model with the V60 index, which was known outside of China as the Keyton X7. The key difference of this MPV is the presence of an electric powertrain, which has led to a significant change in concept. It still builds on a combination of practicality, reliability, and versatility in use, but within the range of travel without recharging, compensating for this feature with low operating costs.

Technical differences

The model is created on the same platform as the original V60 minivan, but after significant modernization. First of all, the power floor structure was redesigned, into which a compartment with a traction battery was integrated, becoming one of its components. The cabin volume was preserved, which means that the electric version still offers a 7-seat layout with three rows of seats with sufficient legroom not only in the second row but also in the "gallery". In terms of body design, both cars are almost identical. The electric version differs in the design of the front end, with a decorative panel instead of a traditional radiator grille and other aerodynamic elements.

The key technical difference is the electric powertrain with a single electric motor producing up to 82 horsepower and transmitting torque to the front wheels through a planetary reducer. This solution provides good dynamics within "urban" speeds with linear responses to accelerator pedal pressure. For this reason, the maximum speed of the MPV is limited to 100 km/h, which fully corresponds to the concept of this model. Like the traction battery with a capacity of 62 kWh, which provides a range of up to 450 kilometers.

The model uses a front independent suspension of the McPherson type and a rear semi-dependent scheme with a torsion beam. The chassis is tuned with a priority on smoothness at low speeds. On poor coverage, the car does not try to demonstrate sports reactions - instead, the chassis works on energy absorption and stability when fully loaded. For a city minivan, such a setting looks logical. The steering has light effort, making it easy to maneuver in courtyards and tight parking lots. The high seating position provides good visibility forward and diagonally. In combination with a large glazing area, this simplifies operation in dense city traffic. The braking system is designed for smooth operation. Regenerative braking helps to partially return energy to the battery when slowing down, reducing the load on the main mechanisms. For corporate fleets, this additionally reduces maintenance costs. Due to the high body and relatively narrow tires, the EX7 is not designed for aggressive driving. On the highway, tilts are felt, but in city rhythm, the model behaves predictably and calmly. It is in the metropolis that the advantages of the electric architecture are revealed: the absence of noise, minimal fuel costs, and smoothness of movement.

Universal interior

The affiliation with mass inexpensive models is evident in the interior design, where the emphasis is on combining practicality and functionality. The front console contains a 10-inch display of the multimedia system with basic capabilities for such equipment. At the same time, the climate control panel with physical handles and buttons was preserved, which today is an important advantage due to convenience and safety, allowing you not to be distracted from the road while driving.

The salon has a fairly unusual layout for this segment - 2+2+3. The second row has separate seats with individual armrests, which increases comfort during long trips. The third row is more oriented towards children or short-distance trips, but if necessary, it can accommodate two adult passengers.

Thanks to the high roofline and almost vertical sides, there is a good reserve of space inside. With the rear rows folded, the car turns into a compact cargo van, suitable for transporting equipment, boxes, or tourist inventory. It is this versatility that has allowed the model to occupy an intermediate position between a family MPV and commercial transport.

Despite its utilitarian nature, the EX7 has a fairly wide range of equipment for its class. In addition to multimedia, the equipment included electric windows, electric mirror adjustment, alloy wheels, fog lights. On some markets, a rearview camera and improved interior trim were offered.

Operation in real conditions

For owners, an important advantage is the simplicity of daily use. The electric powertrain requires fewer maintenance operations compared to gasoline analogs. In commercial operation, this allows reducing downtime. Private customers appreciate this MPV for its spacious cabin and smoothness of movement. Even with modest power, the electric motor provides linear acceleration without jerks, which has a positive effect on passenger comfort.

Depending on the version, the model was equipped with wheels with a landing diameter of 15 or 16 inches. Unlike gasoline modifications, such products were distinguished by low weight and increased carrying capacity, while maintaining high operational properties, primarily traction on slippery surfaces. In the online store "Mosavtoshina" a large number of such models are presented, allowing you to adapt the car to the specifics of specific operating conditions.
