History

Rear quarter of Neta GT

In December 2022, the Chinese company Hozon Auto presented another model expanding the portfolio of the Neta brand, which has so far been created by 4 electric cars. At the time of the presentation, the car was called Neta E. The vehicle took the form of a 2-door sports coupe, unusual for electric cars, with a slim, aggressively outlined silhouette distinguished by slanted headlights. The exterior was also enriched with imitation air intakes and a rear diffuser. The car is based on the Shenhai platform shared with the Neta S. [2]

A characteristic feature of the GT is the retractable external door handles that improve aerodynamics and a camera system enabling semi-autonomous driving. As in the related Neta S, the radar monitoring the vehicle's surroundings has been hidden at the top edge of the windshield. [3] In April 2023, the manufacturer presented the full specification of the vehicle, and at the same, the car's name was changed to the Neta GT. The multi-colored passenger compartment is dominated by the 17.6-inch vertical touchscreen infotainment system. [4]

The GT was created for the mainland Chinese market, with plans to start production and sales in the first quarter of 2023. The manufacturer wants to emphasize the uniqueness of the concept of an affordable sports-electric car, which has no direct competitor in China at the time of its debut. [5]

Specifications

The GT is a fully electric car; buyers can choose from two drive variants. The basic one, transferring power to the rear axle, develops 228 hp, while the top AWD engine reaches 456 hp. The basic battery pack allows the user to drive about 560 km (350 mi) on a single charge, and the top one up to 580 km (360 mi). [6]
