It’s official, the Pocco Meimei and Pocco Duoduo by Great Wall Motors (GWM) will go on sale in Thailand with two variants each and priced from THB 389,000 (~RM 48,546) onwards.
Two-door Pocco Meimei
Although GWM has a strong presence in Thailand, the Pocco Meimei and Pocco Duoduo will not be sold by the manufacturer. The tiny two- and four-door electric vehicles (EV) will be sold by BRG Group, Thailand’s biggest parallel importer for cars.
All these cars come straight from China so they are only available in left-hand-drive guise only.
Like we’ve mentioned earlier, both models will come with a choice of two variants.
The variant with the lowest range is the two-door Pocco Meimei YX. Priced at THB 399,000(~RM 49,790), the YX’s 9.2 kWh battery has a range of only 116 km.

One step up is the ZX, the distance range is extended to 170 km thanks to a larger 14.0 kWh battery. The higher variant is priced at THB 469,000 (~RM 58,490).
Meanwhile, prices for the four-door Duoduo starts at THB 389,000 (~RM 48,546) and the base spec Duoduo L’s 10.3 kWh battery can only hit a maximum distance range of 128 km.
The top of the range Duoduo K variant comes with a 14.5 kWh battery pack and is good for a distance of 178 km. The EV is priced at THB 449,000 (~RM 56,000).
All variants can be charged at the convenience of one’s home and it takes six to eight hours to fully charge the battery.
BRG Group did not list down any power output figures but the Meimei and Duoduo are offered in China with two power outputs: one producing only 27 PS and 100 Nm while the other produces 39 PS and 105 Nm.
Imagine if these two models make it to Malaysia, would it give the Perodua Axia a run for its money?
There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
