The Kaiyi Showjet (Chinese: 炫界) is a subcompact crossover SUV produced by the Chinese manufacturer Kaiyi Auto. The model shared the platform with the earlier introduced Chery Tiggo 5x and is designed by Pininfarina.[6]

Overview

[edit]

The Kaiyi Showjet was revealed on 24 December 2019. The Showjet is positioned below the compact Kaiyi X3 as Kaiyi's latest budget crossover.[7][8]

The Kaiyi Showjet was sold with a lone engine option, a 1.5-litre inline-4 engine mated to either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT delivering 116 PS (85 kW; 114 hp) and 143 N⋅m (105 lb⋅ft; 14.6 kg⋅m) of torque.[9]

Kaiyi Showjet Pro

[edit]

A variant called the Kaiyi Showjet Pro was launched in 2021, with the production of the Showjet Pro starting in March 2021. The Kaiyi Showjet Pro features a redesigned front fascia and a variant of the engine of the regular Showjet, the SQRE4T15 1.5-litre inline-4 turbo engine, producing 115 kW (154 hp; 156 PS).[10]

2024 facelift

[edit]

In February 2024, the more expensive, more modern Showjet Pro variant underwent a restyling. The car gained a redesigned front fascia with a lower air intake, a reshaped bumper, and distinctive teardrop-shaped bezels under the headlights. Furthermore, the passenger compartment was redesigned, including a new multimedia screen.[11]

Kaiyi Showjet Pro EV

[edit]

In mid-2021, the restyled Showjet model range was to be expanded with a fully electric variant called the Cowin Showjet Pro EV. Visually, it gained a redesigned front fascia with air intake covers, and the electric system created a 163 hp engine. The car did not go into production until 2024 as the Kaiyi Showjet Pro EV.

In September 2022, another importer also starts to sell the vehicle in Italy. Eurasia Motor Company (local importer of Great Wall and Haval) launched a new brand named EMC and renamed the Showjet as EMC Wave 3. It is manufactured in Sichuan, China, and converted to LPG in Piedmont, Northern Italy.
