The JMEV Yi is a battery electric small family car (C-segment), produced by the French car manufacturer Renault through its subsidiary Mobilize, in a joint venture with Jiangling Motors Corporation Group through JMEV.[4] It was presented at the International Motor Show Germany in September 2021 and is available from 2022 exclusively for car-sharing or taxi.[5]

The car is manufactured by JMEV in Nanchang, China,[6] and is available with a 60 kWh battery and an estimated range of 450 km (280 mi).[7]

Background

Mobilize is a brand of the Renault group dedicated to passenger transport, such as vehicles reserved only for professional drivers (especially taxi drivers) or car-sharing.

The first Mobilize Limo fleet, consisting of 40 units, was put into service in mid-2022 by Cabify.[8]

Overview

Mobilize Limo

The JMEV Yi is the version available for the Chinese market of the Mobilize Limo, also available with a 147-horsepower and an expected NEDC range of up to 400 km (250 mi).[9][10]

In September 2021, Renault announced its intention to market the Yi in Europe as a subscription-only vehicle for professional drivers, under the name Mobilize Limo.[11][12]

The Mobiize Limo was discontinued in 2023, as Mobilize judged the subscription-only model had no commercial potential for now.[13]
