How does it compare?
Speed
When it comes to speed, the SAIC LDV MIFA 9 flaunts a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), placing it firmly in the top tier. In contrast, the venerable BYD e6 races up to a modest 140 km/h (87 mph). The aristocratic Mercedes-Benz EQV tops out at 160 km/h (99 mph), while the nibble-footed Nissan e-NV200 ambles along at a more sedate 123 km/h (76 mph). The MIFA 9 proves to be a solid performer on the autobahn and city streets alike.
Range
Now, on the battlefield of range, the SAIC LDV MIFA 9 claims a stout 440 km (273 miles). The upstart BYD e6 clocks in at a gallant 400 km (248 miles). Our luxury-hugging Mercedes-Benz EQV, offering a refined and sumptuous ride, stretches to an admirable 418 km (259 miles), while the plucky and utilitarian Nissan e-NV200 proffers a humble 200 km (124 miles). Clearly, the MIFA 9 is the marathon runner in this pack.
Power
Regarding horsepower, the mighty fine SAIC LDV MIFA 9 deploys a robust 245 hp from its electric heart. The BYD e6 isn’t to be sneezed at with 245 hp buckled under its hood. Enter the ritzy Mercedes-Benz EQV and its 204 hp, tailored for an impeccably smooth journey, whilst the workhorse Nissan e-NV200 chugs along with 108 hp. On raw power, the MIFA 9 is unequivocally the ringleader.
Charging Time
Focusing on charging time, the SAIC LDV MIFA 9 sips electrons efficiently, replenishing in approximately 8 hours with a standard AC charger. The BYD e6 refuels in a zippy 2 hours with DC charging facilitated. Meanwhile, the swank Mercedes-Benz EQV boasts a respectable 45 minutes to 80% with a DC fast charger, but takes a leisurely 11 hours using a standard plug. Similarly, the pragmatic Nissan e-NV200 rediscovers the electric joy in around 8 hours. It’s the Benz taking a cautious refuel while the rest sprint ahead.
Price
Finally, what does all this electrifying technology cost? The SAIC LDV MIFA 9 is priced at a tantalizing $45,600 (approx. £33,500; €39,800).

The unpretentious Nissan e-NV200 beckons with a wallet-friendly $39,000 (approx. £29,000; €34,000). The MIFA 9, thusly, offers a brilliant balance of power, capacity, and frugality.
