Wuling
Wuling (五菱) is a Chinese car brand owned by SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile (SGMW), a 3-way joint venture between SAIC, General Motors, and Guangxi Auto.
The Wuling Nano EV is an extremely mad and brilliant two-seat electric minicar. It looks like no other car, electric, mini, or otherwise. There is no way to describe it. Short, square, odd, weird, mad, tech, modern, strange, different. It is all of those and more. Wuling launched the Nano EV in 2021. It is the sister model of the Baojun E200. Baojun is another brand under SGMW.
Disney
The Wuling Nano EV Disney Limited Edition was an official co-branding project with the Walt Disney Company. It has Disney Limited Edition badges on the front fender.
The Wuling Nano Disney Zootopia edition was available in two body colors, Judy Powder and Nick Green, referencing Zootopia characters Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. The car in the photos is the Nick Wilde variant painted in Nick Green. The badges are quite neat, high quality, and painted. Wuling limited the Wuling Nano EV Disney Limited Edition to only 5000 units.
Interior
The interior of the Nano EV is extreme, with only two seats, large windows, and an utterly weird design. Just check out that dashboard!
It has a two-spole steering wheel with a flat bottom and a 7-inch driver’s display. The drive selector is located atop the dashboard, halfway between the wheel and the screen. It has a line of haptic buttons in the middle.
The seats are unique for the Disney Limited Edition, with a green-gray color scheme and gray-orange striping. It also has green seat belts and green door trim.
Specifications
Look at that rear design! Just crazy, just lovely. I especially like the gray bits around the lights. The Nano EV is a tiny car: 2497/1526/1616, 1600, with a 850-kilo curb weight. It is a single-motor, front-wheel drive car. The output is 33 hp (24 kW) and 85 Nm. That’s enough for a 100km/h top speed.
The Nano EV has a 28 kWh LFP battery manufactured by KeyPower. It has an electricity consumption of 9.9 kWh/100 km and a range of 305 kilometers.

In 2021, the Nano EV Disney Limited Edition sold for 66.800 yuan. Wuling ended production of the Nano EV in 2024. The Wuling Air EV is its direct successor in China. More Wuling craziness soon!
