Youxia (Chinese: 游侠), officially Youxia Motors (Chinese: 游侠汽车), is a Chinese automobile manufacturer headquartered in Shanghai, China, that specializes in producing neighborhood electric vehicles, low-speed electric vehicles, and sport electric vehicles.

History

Youxia was founded in 2014, with a registered capital of 4.2 billion yuan. In October 2017, Youxia launched their factory construction, a completed their automated production line design.[2]

The Youxia X, also called the Youxia Ranger, is their first production vehicle. It has RWD, a 40 kWh battery, and can go 2.8 seconds to go 0–60 km.[3] It includes a programmable face displayer as well as driver set features.[4] The X includes Youxia OS, a smart-technology system that can control air conditioning, lights, voice recognition and commands, as well as talk back to the driver. The car has a 70% accident avoidance.[5] It will have up to Level 3 self-driving capabilities. It was designed by 50 engineers in 500 days. It will cost $30,000 and $45,000.[6][7][8]

However, due to problems with its capital chain and production qualifications, Youxia Motors ultimately failed to achieve mass production. In 2019, Youxia Automobile's Huzhou factory stopped production, the project construction command center evacuated, and the company faced serious financial difficulties. In 2020, the Wuxing District Government of Huzhou City announced the acquisition of the land and ongoing projects of the Youxia Automobile Industrial Project, marking the substantial end of Youxia Automobile's car manufacturing project.[9]
