Quick answer

For daily use, the BYD Atto 3 goes furthest per kWh in this group, from ¥119,900. For hills, the Geely EX5 635 km has 245 kW and does 0–100 km/h in 5.8 s at ¥135,800. For the most battery range, the Deepal S07 reaches 725 km CLTC at ¥165,900. For weak charging, the Leapmotor C10 range-extender gives 1,300 km CLTC combined from ¥125,800, and the XPeng G6 gives 1,704 km at ¥186,800. For rear passengers, the BYD Song L EV has the longest wheelbase.

The eight SUVs side by side

We filtered on the lowest China guide price: under ¥200,000. Some of these cars have versions above that line. The site lists more than 30 battery-electric SUVs under the limit, and we chose eight with clear differences in use.

China guide prices, not delivered prices. All figures are for China-market cars unless a row says otherwise.

\* ¥107,800 is the guide price. Geely's China site also shows limited-time launch prices from ¥97,800. The site does not state the seat count for this car.

† This is the third-generation Yuan Plus, the China name for the Atto 3. Earlier versions in our data are 4,455 mm long. Ask which generation you are being offered.

CLTC is China's test cycle and reads higher than WLTP, so never set the two side by side. "Electric" is distance on the battery alone. "Combined" adds the fuel tank. BEV means battery-electric and EREV range-extender. Measured results are in the long-trip section.

Daily commute: BYD Atto 3

The fourth column is our own division of the site's figures, using CLTC range. Treat it as a rough ranking.

The Atto 3's 57.5 kWh pack carries it 20 km further than the Aion V's 62.7 kWh, for ¥10,100 more. The EX5 starts lowest, and the Aion V and EX5 are both under ¥110,000. If price comes first, take the EX5: the Aion V's lead is not in efficiency or range. The Song L EV is out of place for commuting. It is the heaviest user here and starts ¥69,900 above the Atto 3.

Hills: Geely EX5, and watch the entry versions

The Atto 3 and EX5 have the most power under ¥150,000. The C10 is close at 230 kW. It has 25 km more range than the EX5 635 km, for ¥3,000 less. The Aion V 650 costs ¥4,000 less than the C10 and gives up 65 kW.

Three warnings:

• Avoid the entry Song L EV for hills. The ¥189,800 version has 150 kW and takes 8.5 s. For ¥10,000 more, the Surpass has 230 kW, 6.9 s and 662 km. The 662 km lidar car weighs 2,265 kg, so a weak motor shows here.
• Front drive. Every Aion V and the entry EX5 drive the front wheels. On wet, steep roads with a load, rear drive usually grips better.
• No all-wheel drive under the limit. The only all-wheel-drive version in this group is the Song L EV AWD at ¥249,800. If you need it on gravel or snow, this list is not for you.

The site has no ground-clearance figure for any of the eight. The Song L EV's body is the lowest, 1,560 mm high, so check it before buying for rough roads.

Rear seats and load: BYD Song L EV

The Song L EV has 185 mm more wheelbase than the EX5, and 1,101 L of front and rear luggage space on BYD's figure. It also lists a 220 V cabin socket and vehicle-to-load power. The EX5 answers with a 160 L front trunk, and the Aion V lists 3.3 kW of power output. The S05's rear seats fold flat. The site has no boot figure for the other cars, and no towing figure for any of the eight.

Long trips with weak charging: Leapmotor C10 range-extender

The G6 has the top figures, but the C10 is the choice for most buyers. It costs ¥61,000 less, and 290 km on the battery covers a normal day. The G6 earns its price if you do long runs often, because it also adds 314 km in 12 minutes on XPeng's figure. The site has no combined figure for the S05 215 Max or the S07 230 Max+.

For battery range, plan with test results, not the rated figure. Our real-world table has these, mostly on earlier versions:

The EX5 did 68% of CLTC on XCX-Test's highway run and the G6 70%. Both sit a little under the median of 72% across the 37 battery-electric highway tests in that table, which range from 50% to 86%. The G6 tested is the 700 km car, not the 625 km version above. The Atto 3 figure is for an earlier car at a steady 90 km/h, worked out from consumption. For a cold climate, read Autohome's winter test at -25 to -20°C: the EX5 kept 54% of CLTC, the Aion V 50% and the C10 44%.

The S05, the Song L EV and the S07 battery version have no range test in that table. At 72%, as a rough figure only, the S07's 725 km becomes about 520 km, the Song L EV's 662 km about 475 km and the S05's 620 km about 445 km. That is our own arithmetic, not a test.

Charging conditions: fast figures need fast chargers

Read the start and end points before you compare times. The Atto 3's 5 minutes is BYD flash charging. The EX5's figure applies to its 800 V versions. The entry ¥107,800 EX5 is a 400 V car at 1.8C.

On a network of slow chargers, an 800 V car charges at the charger's pace, so the extra cost buys little. There, the plain Aion V at 22 minutes or the entry EX5 makes more sense.

China-market cars use GB/T plugs for AC and DC. GB/T does not fit a CCS2 or Type 2 charger directly, though adapters exist. Our Song L EV page quotes CCS2 and Type 2 for some destinations, so ask which inlet your exact version has.

Steering side

Our site marks a right-hand-drive version for seven of the eight. That only means such a version exists abroad, not that we have one. The Song L EV is left-hand drive only. Its export note says it is sold in China only.

Export reality, brand by brand

• BYD: New BYD cars are exported through BYD's own authorised export companies, so ask us to check availability for your country.
• Geely: Export availability depends on the brand's authorised exporters, so ask us to check before you plan a purchase.
• Aion: Export availability depends on the brand's authorised exporters, so ask us to check before you plan a purchase.
• Deepal: Export availability depends on the brand's authorised exporters, so ask us to check before you plan a purchase.
• Leapmotor: Outside China, Leapmotor cars are sold by Leapmotor International, so treat the C10 as official channel only or to be confirmed.
• XPeng: Export availability depends on the brand's authorised exporters, and our records do not yet show a confirmed one for the G6. Treat it as to be confirmed.

Battery-only cars have one more step. Since 1 January 2026, China requires an export licence for pure-electric passenger cars. That covers the EX5, Aion V, Atto 3, Song L EV and the BEV versions of the S05, S07, C10 and G6.

Send your country, model and version through the inquiry form. We tell you whether we can supply that car before any contract. Nothing is paid before it is signed, and payment goes only to the company account on the invoice.
