The industry has seen its share of electric luxury cars from the Far East, but many of them seem to be lacking substance: The start-ups are coming and going, and some of the concept cars are clearly lacking substance. Now Qoros is showing a fully electric luxury concept, and they have one thing going for them: It is a fully established brand, with a track record of delivering. Qoros competes in the near-premium segment in China, and the cars are distinguished from their competitors by their European technology (a lot of it is developed with European suppliers) and by their distinct styling language: Qoros Design is led by former Mini chief designer Gert Hildebrand.<\/p>\n

The fully electric concept launching at the Shanghai Auto show is called the K EV; the K alludes to Koenigsegg, Qoros’ cooperation partner for the Qamfree engine technology, as well as a potential supplier for the power electronics. <\/p>\n\r\n
