EV importer introduces obscure Chinese firmâ€™s mid-sized crossover to UK market Say hello to the Skywell BE11, a rather unusual new electric crossover from China thatâ€™s due on sale in the UK imminently.The Skywell brand emerged in 2017 as a joint venture between consumer electronics group Skyworth and electric bus maker Nanjing Golden Dragon, and its cars are being brought here by Gloucestershire-based importer Innovation Automotive â€“ which has sold DFSK electric trucks and vans for a while now and will soon also introduce a smaller and cheaper electric crossover, the Seres 3.Skywell apparently sees itself as a rival to Audi and Mercedes-Benz, which is pretty ambitious, to say the least.The BE11 is its first ever car, and you can have it with either a 72kWh battery offering 248 miles of range or a 86kWh battery that yields 304 miles. Both are mated to a single front-mounted motor that makes 201bhp and 236lb ft of torque.
