In terms of appearance, the new car is somewhat similar to ET5 in appearance, but has been upgraded and optimized in terms of vehicle interior decoration and configuration. The front face is decorated with a black closed grille, the headlights on both sides are equipped with similar Y-shaped LED daily lights, and the lower part of the front is also painted in black, with a large trapezoidal air inlet. The word "SKYWORTH" is arranged in the middle of the tail and has a high degree of recognition.

On the side of the car body, the waistline extends from the front wing board to the taillight, which is concise and capable. The rear of the car adopts through-type taillight design and vertical triangle taillight group. The body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4698/1908/1696mm, and the wheelbase is 2800mm.

In the future, models with a maximum mileage of 600 + will be launched and will be available in the first quarter of 2022, while the mixed version will be available in the second quarter of 2022.

When it comes to Skyworth, most people may think of Skyworth TV. Well, Skyworth entered the automobile industry by a bit of a coincidence. The founder of Skyworth Group is Huang Hongsheng, who founded Skyworth, but later left Skyworth Group for various reasons, and established Kaivo Group in Nanjing in 2010. and acquired and reorganized the troubled Nanjing Jinlong bus Manufacturing Co., Ltd. After several years of hard operation, Jinlong bus turned its losses into profits. However, Huang Hongsheng believes that "commercial transfer" is the development direction of Kaiwo. In November 2019, Timei Motor, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kaiwo Automobile, was established. In October last year, the first model, Timi ET5, was launched, and Huang Hongsheng realized his passenger car dream.

According to the relevant data of the Federation of passengers, Timi ET5 sold 395 vehicles in the past half a year, but such sales really can not support Timi Motor. On April 27 this year, Timi Motors officially changed its name to Skyworth. Perhaps because of the funding problem, or because of the close contact with Skyworth Group, Kevo Group and Skyworth Group have reached a cooperation agreement, and in the future, the models of Kevo Group will be called "Skyworth cars". Timi ET5 will also simultaneously change its name to Skyworth EV6. As a result, Kevo has received sufficient financial support, paving the way for the development and sales promotion of new models, while Skyworth has skillfully entered the auto industry.

Some people in the industry said that Timi Motors changed its name to Skyworth, but its sales are still difficult to grow significantly. Perhaps this is to attract attention in the capital market. It is reported that in 2020, Kevo intends to declare in Science and Technology Innovation Board IPO, and has completed the first phase of listing coaching. Recently, Huang Hongsheng said that Kevo plans to hand over the application for listing on the gem board by the end of this year. At present, billions of yuan of financing has been completed. Although Skyworth has only one new car, Skyworth has invested 10 billion yuan to establish a commercial and passenger dual-use system of Skyworth. In the future, we will invest another 30 billion yuan to achieve the goal of the top 10 in the world and achieve a market capitalization of more than 300 billion yuan. The Skyworth EV6 listing meeting, Skyworth released the 1333 strategy, Skyworth sales of 250000 in 2025, Skyworth 500000 in 2030, Skyworth can achieve its sales target, in the new energy vehicle market to "create" a new way, this is still unknown.
