| − | '''Zhidou D2. 2015–19 (prod. n/a). 3-door sedan. F/F, 18, 27 kWh electric.''' Second model from Zhidou, with a much lower retail price, benefiting from Chinese government subsidies. Helped the company’s rise, and exported to Europe as the Elaris Zhidou, then Elaris Pio after two months. Cramped, with soft suspension, and cheap. Original set-up had 24 PS, but kWh capacity not disclosed; 2016 saw the figures appear with the 18 kWh model. Upgrade to 27 kWh in 2018. Once Chinese government subsidies were removed, the D2’s—indeed all of Zhidou’s—days were numbered, and by 2019 the company hit the wall. Planned for a post-bankruptcy return in 2022 but the model did not emerge. | + | '''Zhidou D2. 2015–19 (prod. n/a). 3-door sedan. F/F, 18, 27 kWh electric.'''
