Which Kaiyi model fits your lifestyle?

Not all drivers have the same routine. Some go for quiet electric rides, others need room for seven, and some just want something easy to drive every day. Fortunately, you don’t need to take a quiz to find your car type. Kaiyi has three models ready for real-world use.

If you’re new to Kaiyi and don’t know what to go for yet, here’s a quick look at what each one does best.

If you need a car that can drive long trips without frequent fuel stops, the Kaiyi X7 PHEV makes a strong case. The Kaiyi X7 PHEV is a seven‑seat plug‑in hybrid crossover that suits drivers who cover both short and long distances regularly. It combines a 1.5‑liter turbocharged gasoline engine that produces 135 hp and 231 Nm of torque with a permanent‑magnet electric motor powered by a lithium‑iron‑phosphate battery. This setup delivers up to 150 km of electric‑only driving and a total range close to 1,200 km when using both the motor and engine. Power goes to the front wheels through a seven‑speed dual‑clutch automatic transmission that balances smooth acceleration and fuel savings. The long driving range and flexible powertrain make the X7 PHEV practical for both daily commuting and out‑of‑town trips.

Inside, the X7 PHEV has a 2 + 3 + 2 seating layout and a cabin built around convenience. It includes a digital instrument cluster, a large touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto, wireless charging, and multiple USB ports. Comfort features such as leatherette seats with electric adjustment, ambient lighting, rear A/C vents, and a panoramic sunroof add to its usability. The model also includes a full set of safety features: multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, stability control, hill‑start assist, and parking sensors on both ends. 

If you’re a driver who’s ready to make the switch to electric but still wants the safety net of traditional refueling, a PHEV like the X7 is a compelling option. It offers an eco-friendly way to move without the usual range anxiety, along with the added bonus of saving you money in the long run. More than that, the X7 PHEV fits a modern and active lifestyle, fit for a person who’s always on the go, whether it’s the weekday grind or on a long weekend drive.

The Kaiyi Auto E-Qute 04 is a five‑seat electric hatchback designed for daily urban driving. It uses a front‑mounted permanent‑magnet electric motor that produces 52 hp and 110 Nm of torque, paired with a single‑speed automatic transmission. The car is powered by a lithium‑iron‑phosphate battery with an estimated driving range of 300 to 410 km on a full charge, depending on the variant. Its compact size of 3,720 mm in length and light 954 kg weight make it easy to handle in narrow streets and parking spaces. With no fuel consumption, no oil changes, and fewer moving parts, the E‑Qute 04 provides a cost‑efficient way to manage daily trips around the city.

The cabin is practical but equipped with the essentials most drivers expect. It comes with a touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and USB/AUX input. The car includes automatic climate control, cruise control, a push‑start button, and an electronic parking brake with auto‑hold. Front and rear parking sensors, a reverse camera, traction control, ABS, EBD, and dual airbags are standard. With a price starting at P868,000, this electric hatchback suits individuals or small families who want a vehicle that keeps daily costs low while still providing a decent amount of driving range per charge.

The Kaiyi E5 is a compact sedan that focuses on balanced power and efficiency. Unlike the two previous models, it uses a 1.5‑liter four‑cylinder gasoline engine that produces 155 hp and 230 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and a front‑wheel‑drive layout. Acceleration from zero  to 100 km/h takes about 9.8 seconds, and the model meets Euro VI emissions standards. The built‑in start‑stop system helps save fuel during idle time, especially in traffic. 

Inside, the E5 has a straightforward but complete setup. Features include a 10.25‑inch infotainment display with USB input, steering‑wheel audio controls, power windows, cruise control, and a push‑start button. Leather upholstery and 17‑inch alloy wheels are standard. Safety is addressed with six airbags, ABS, stability control, ISOFIX mounts, rear parking sensors, and hill‑start assist. Priced below P1 million and backed by a three‑year or 100,000‑km warranty, the Kaiyi E5 is a good match for drivers who want a powerful and reliable, gasoline‑powered sedan for day-to-day use without stretching their budget. 

It’s also a great choice for drivers who want the no-frills, gas-up-and-go nature of an internal combustion engine but still crave something exciting and different. If you’re looking for a vehicle that works well as a daily driver yet still provides thrills during your downtime, the E5 may be the perfect fit.

No need to overthink it. Kaiyi made three clear choices for three different routines. One for big families and long drives, one for quiet city errands, and one for those who just want a simple, strong sedan. Check out the full specs and details of each car on the Kaiyi Car Guide on AutoDeal.
