The car is manufactured by JMEV in Nanchang, China, and is available with a 60 kWh battery and an estimated range of 450 km.

Background
Mobilize is a brand of the Renault group dedicated to passenger transport, such as vehicles reserved only for professional drivers (especially taxi drivers) or car-sharing.

The first Mobilize Limo fleet, consisting of 40 units, was put into service in mid-2022 by Cabify.

Overview
The JMEV Yi is the version available for the Chinese market of the Mobilize Limo, also available with a 147-horsepower and an expected NEDC range of up to 400 km.

In September 2021, Renault announced its intention to market the Yi in Europe as a subscription-only vehicle for professional drivers, under the name Mobilize Limo.

The Mobiize Limo was discontinued in 2023, as Mobilize judged the subscription-only model had no commercial potential for now.

Euro NCAP
The Mobilize Limo in its standard European market configuration received 4 stars from Euro NCAP in 2022.

Mobilize Limo
33 vehicles have been sold in France. 43 units were registered in Spain, mainly through a partnership with Cabify.
