Dongfeng Nammi 01 EV – Key features
Dongfeng Nammi 01 EV easily gets your attention with its cute, curvy profile. Some of the key highlights include a closed-off grille, triangular headlamps, sleek LED DRLs with interconnecting LED strip and mesh-type air dam with trapezoidal design elements in metallic finish. Side profile has a subtle character line that stretches all the way from the front bonnet to rear tail lamps.
Other key features include dual-tone ORVMs with integrated turn signals, flush door handles, deep grooves on the door panels, circular wheel arches, blacked-out pillars and sporty alloy wheels. At rear, Nammi 01 has a raked windshield and trapezoidal tail lamps with smooth edges. The EV gets some exciting colour options such as purple and bright yellow green. Some relatively sober exterior colour choices are also available such as ivory white and light blue.
Dongfeng Nammi 01 interiors
Inside, Dongfeng Nammi 01 follows a minimalistic design approach. One of the core objectives is to achieve a spacious look and feel. The cockpit section is completely decluttered, with only a few physical buttons on the dash and centre console. Users can access most of the features and functions via the large floating touchscreen infotainment system and the full digital instrument console.
One can also notice some nifty innovations such as the drawer-type glove box. The useability is significantly improved with this setup. Other highlights include full-width AC vents, a two-spoke steering wheel with mounted controls and intelligently designed utility spaces. The feel inside is quite premium with the use of quality materials and dual-tone theme of black and white. With the seats folded, Nammi 01 has max storage space of 945 litres.
