Chinese EV maker Skyworth Auto has started selling its cars in Singapore, opening its first showroom there on Tuesday.

The 185-square-meter showroom features the first Skyworth model in the country, K, an SUV designed for family comfort with a travel range of nearly 490 kilometers per charge.

The car is priced at around $135,000 and is believed to be a competitor to the Toyota Harrier hybrid, which costs around $183,000.

In June, Skyworth Auto plans to launch an electric crossover in Singapore. It also wants to start selling an electric van in the last quarter of the year.

The Nanjing-based company produced its first EV in 2017. It also produces buses through a subsidiary.
