About the Skywell BE11
The Skywell BE11 is a mid-sized electric SUV launched as the brand's debut model in the UK market. Developed by a joint venture between electronics firm Skyworth and bus manufacturer Nanjing Golden Dragon, it targets the competitive family crossover segment with a focus on interior space and standard equipment. The 72kWh variant serves as the entry-level model, offering a respectable WLTP range of approximately 248 miles. Despite its generous proportions and long warranty, the BE11 faced criticism for its unrefined driving dynamics and dated safety tech, leading to significant price cuts and the eventual withdrawal of its UK importer in 2026.
