Chinese electric vehicle brand Skyworth has started selling its cars in Singapore, with the opening of its showroom in Ubi on Jan 7.
The K, an electric sport utility vehicle, is the first Skyworth model available here. The EV is roughly as big as the Toyota Harrier. It has a single 150kW motor and its 86kWh battery is said to be good for up to 489km before needing a recharge. He also said there are no plans to introduce a lower-powered version of the K, so that the car can qualify for a Category A COE.
In the last quarter of 2025, the brand will also start selling an electric van here, which will compete against other Chinese models from BYD and Maxus, said Mr Pang. Plans changed in October when two levels of Alpine Centre were taken over by Harmony Auto, a dealer for BYD and Denza EV brands.
