Ciwei, an emerging electric vehicle (EV) brand from China, represents the dynamic surge of new players in the EV market. Established in 2018 under the aegis of Xiamen Sanwu Internet Technology, Ciwei—which translates to ‘hedgehog’ in English—was introduced with a distinctive branding strategy emphasizing connectivity and innovative technology applications like blockchain for data storage. The brand’s logo, a stylized, somewhat aggressive hedgehog, encapsulates its ambition to pierce through the competitive automotive industry with memorable and innovative designs.

The inaugural vehicle from Ciwei, the Ciwei Smile (originally unveiled as the Simai’er), marked the brand’s entry into the EV space. It is an electric hatchback featuring a 49 kWh ternary lithium battery pack that provides a range of 360 kilometers and a maximum speed of 144 km/h. The Smile, recognized for its quirky design elements including hedgehog logos inside and a 12-inch touchscreen interface, represents Ciwei’s commitment to blending technology with user experience.

Today, Ciwei continues to expand its lineup with models like the Ciwei EV400, an electric compact crossover MPV that offers a mix of family-friendly features and advanced tech like an AI assistant named “Little Hedgehog.” This model and others signify Ciwei’s ongoing push to carve out a niche in the bustling sector of Chinese EV manufacturing, reflecting both the brand’s initial promise and its enduring aspirations in the automotive landscape.
