In early March 2024, Chinese electric car manufacturer Hozon Auto introduced another model in its range, this time in the form of the large, mid-size SUV Neta L, intended to help increase market share through a popular segment in the Chinese market.[1] The car adopted stylistic features identical to the Neta S and Neta GT models, distinguishing itself with retractable door handles, clearly outlined fenders and a pointed front. Narrow, oblong headlights contrast with the narrow light reflector running along the entire rear part of the body.
The passenger cabin has a luxurious arrangement emphasizing access to an extensive multimedia system. The dashboard is formed by a set of two 15.6-inch touchscreens fused together, acting as a central multimedia system and an additional screen for the passenger. The driver has a smaller, narrow display in front of the steering wheel. The passenger has an additional backrest tilt function, and both seats have an extensive 8-point massage system.[2] There is an extensive fridge for drinks in the armrest, and there are foldable tables on the backrests of the seats for the rear passengers.[3]
Specifications
Just like the Neta S limousine, the Neta L was designed with two types of drive in mind. The basic, fully electric version is powered by a 228 HP engine and has a 69 kWh LFP battery offering a maximum range of up to 510 kilometers according to the Chinese CLTC standard. The top hybrid variant has a power unit consisting of an electric motor as the main source of energy and a 1.5-liter combustion unit with a power of 90 HP ensuring extended range. This variant received two battery variants enabling the possibility of driving in fully electric mode: 30 kWh and 40 kWh.
