When the term "people's car" comes up, what do you think of? Is it adequate space, plain design, or just the right amount of features?
On April 20, at an intelligent parking challenge event in Wuhan, a small car completely overturned this imagination with its real-world performance. It is the Nammi 01. After experiencing it firsthand, we found that its ambitions go far beyond being just "transportation" — it rewrites the standard of a "good people's car" with a series of segment-leading and even beyond-segment features.
More than just "adequate" — it is a "segment-defying powerhouse"
When it comes to people's cars, price is naturally the first threshold. After discounts, the Nammi 01 enters the 60,000 yuan range, making the threshold accessible enough. But what is truly commendable is that it makes no compromise in "hard power."
It is built on Dongfeng's Quantum Architecture Platform No. 3 and is equipped with the segment's only Mach E ten-in-one electric drive assembly. This means greater efficiency and more power — a top speed of up to 140 km/h, a maximum range of 430 km, and fast charging from 30% to 80% in just 30 minutes. It can fully handle intercity travel with ease, completely bidding farewell to "range anxiety."
What is even more surprising is that it feels quite refined to drive. It offers three driving modes — Eco, Comfort, and Sport — with distinct power responses; it is equipped with 215 mm wide tires and a 55% aspect ratio, giving it better driving stability than many small cars in the same segment. This is not just a commuting tool, but a companion that is enjoyable to drive and reassuring.
Looks are justice — it brings "premium feel" to the 60,000 yuan level
Who says an accessible price cannot come with good looks and refinement? The Nammi 01 is the first to stand up and say no.
Its design is rounded and lively, with a through-type light bar and a two-tone body that look especially playful. And when you walk closer, that frameless door — rarely seen in its segment — instantly maxes out the sense of style. Paired with hidden door handles, every entry and exit is full of ceremony — features usually found only on cars costing 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.
Sitting inside, the surprises continue. The two-tone interior, exquisite diamond-pattern stitching, decorative details resembling luggage straps, and the ambient lighting together create a light-luxury atmosphere far beyond its price. The drawer-style front passenger island console and support for wireless fast charging — these thoughtful touches make car ownership both convenient and fun.
Intelligent equity — it makes technology "within reach"
The core "intelligent parking challenge" of this event precisely showcased the Nammi 01's most core segment-defying intelligent advantage.
Facing vertical, parallel, and diagonal parking spaces of all kinds, you only need to press a button, and it can truly achieve "hands-free parking." Even more impressive, within 10 meters you can use your phone's Bluetooth to remotely park into or out of a space — a true savior for tight spots. This segment-exclusive fully automatic parking function is extremely friendly to novices and urban car owners.
In addition, a comprehensive L2 intelligent driving assistance system (ACC, AEB, lane keeping, etc.) and a 540° panoramic camera — features previously commonly seen only on cars above 100,000 yuan — are all available on the Nammi 01, greatly improving driving safety and convenience.
Final thoughts
After experiencing the Nammi 01, its image is very clear: it does not cut corners in the places users can see, touch, and use just because of its accessible pricing.
On the contrary, it defines "design equity" with frameless doors and a refined interior; it achieves "technology equity" with fully automatic parking and L2 intelligent driving; and it upholds "performance equity" with solid three-electric systems and driving control experience.
The arrival of the Nammi 01 seems to declare to the market: a people's car does not mean settling — it can absolutely deliver enjoyment and respect beyond its class within a limited budget. What it truly challenges is our stereotypical perception of cars at this price point. Choosing it is no longer a compromise due to budget, but a surprise-filled experience that transcends its segment.
