A smart, high-performance, long-range supercar. This is the promise of the new electric car from the Chinese company JiYue, partner of the giant Geely. The ROBO X goes from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2 seconds and promises 644 km of range per charge.
According to the manufacturer, the electric supercar is the first to combine autonomous driving with artificial intelligence.
The electric supercar has a powerful propulsion system
- ROBO X has a propulsion system with quadruple motors and liquid cooling;
- The electric car goes from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 1.9 seconds, says JiYue, who called the model a “performance beast”;
- By way of comparison, the Lucid Air Sapphire, which goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.89 seconds, is the closest and offers 687 km of range for $249 million;
- Acceleration data, if confirmed, would position it as one of the fastest production cars in the world.
In addition to being fast, the Chinese supercar comes with built-in artificial intelligence. JiYue claims to use artificial intelligence to optimize the vehicle’s steering, handling, efficiency and safety. The intelligent driving system, for example, uses Baidu’s Apollo technology, making it the first electric road supercar to use autonomous driving technology on race tracks.
JiYue’s AI voice model and Simo virtual assistant, meanwhile, help drivers get real-time vehicle information, such as engine torque and thermal management, via voice commands.
The model promises a personalized and connected driving experience, the manufacturer claims. (Image: Disclosure)Read more:
Design was also at the center of the project byJiYueas well as aerodynamics. The split rear spoiler is a visual example. The carbon fiber and aluminum alloy construction results in a lightweight and sturdy body.
Weight was also a focal point in the construction, as with all electric vehicles, which have to deal with the weight of the batteries.

How is artificial intelligence integrated into the ROBO X, and what impact does it have on the driving experience?
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Electric Vehicle Expert on the ROBO X Supercar
Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we’re diving into the exciting world of electric supercars, particularly the new ROBO X from China’s JiYue. Joining us is Dr. Alex Chen, an expert in electric vehicle technology. Dr. Chen, thank you for being here.
Dr. Chen: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to discuss this groundbreaking vehicle.
Editor: Let’s get right into it. The ROBO X claims to go from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 1.9 seconds. How significant is this performance compared to other electric supercars on the market?
Dr. Chen: It’s incredibly impressive! If confirmed, this would place the ROBO X among the fastest production cars in the world, rivaling competitors like the Lucid Air Sapphire. The acceleration speed showcases advancements in battery and motor technology, allowing for this level of performance.
Editor: Speaking of performance, the ROBO X is said to feature a powerful propulsion system with four motors. Can you explain the benefits of this setup?
Dr. Chen: Absolutely. Quadruple motors enhance power distribution and torque control. This means better handling and stability, especially at high speeds. Plus, with liquid cooling, the vehicle can maintain optimal performance during intense driving conditions, reducing the risk of overheating.
Editor: That’s fascinating! Now, let’s touch on the vehicle’s range. At 644 km per charge, how does that compare with traditional supercars, and why is it crucial for an electric supercar?
Dr. Chen: The range is quite competitive. Traditional high-performance supercars don’t have the same range concerns as electric cars, so offering 644 km makes the ROBO X a practical choice for customers who want performance without frequent charging stops. For long-distance travel and track use, this combination of speed and range is essential.
Editor: The integration of artificial intelligence is another highlight of the ROBO X. How does it enhance the driving experience?
Dr. Chen: JiYue is leveraging AI not just for autonomous driving capabilities but also for real-time data processing. The AI optimizes steering, handling, and efficiency, adapting to driving conditions dynamically. With voice-controlled features through the Simo virtual assistant, drivers can focus more on the road while getting crucial information without distractions.
Editor: It’s intriguing to see AI being used in this way. The ROBO X is also the first electric road supercar to incorporate autonomous driving technology on race tracks. What implications does this have for the future of racing?
Dr. Chen: This could revolutionize racing by allowing for safer, more efficient track days. It opens avenues for utilizing AI not just for data analysis but also for improving racing strategies in real-time. That said, it raises questions about driver input versus AI control in competitive environments.
Editor: Very true! As we see more electric supercars entering the market, do you think this will shift consumer perceptions of electric vehicles in general?
Dr. Chen: Definitely! High-performance electric vehicles like the ROBO X challenge the stereotype that electric cars lack excitement. As manufacturers push the limits of speed, performance, and technology, consumers will start to view electric vehicles not just as an eco-friendly alternative but as exhilarating options that can compete with traditional gas-powered supercars.
Editor: That’s a hopeful perspective for the future of electric vehicles. with the rapid advancements we are witnessing, where do you see the electric car market heading in the next 5 to 10 years?
Dr. Chen: We can expect further innovations in battery technology, resulting in even longer ranges and faster charging times. More manufacturers will enter the high-performance electric segment, leading to a diverse range of options for consumers. Additionally, we may see enhanced integration of AI and their applications not just on the road, but in daily life with vehicles becoming fully interconnected systems.
Editor: Dr. Chen, thank you for sharing your insights! The ROBO X certainly represents a thrilling leap forward in electric vehicle technology, and we look forward to seeing how it evolves in the market.
Dr. Chen: Thank you for having me! It’s an exciting time for the auto industry, and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
