The Pony Mini EV is a new electric microcar developed by Bestune, a sub-brand of FAW Group. Designed for urban environments, it offers a compact footprint and easy maneuverability. It is powered by a single electric motor that delivers 27-PS and 85-Nm of torque to the rear wheels. The car is available with two lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery options: a 9.4-kWh pack that offers an estimated range of 122 kilometers, and a larger 13.9-kWh pack rated for about 170 kilometers on a full charge.

It emphasizes low operating costs, zero tailpipe emissions, and practical short-range usability, well-suited for short-distance travel and daily city driving. Its small form factor and colorful styling are geared toward younger, city-based drivers seeking an eco-friendly alternative to gasoline vehicles.

The Pony Mini EV also represents Bestune's efforts to enter the growing global market for affordable electric vehicles and highlights how brands under the FAW umbrella are adapting to changing consumer demands in urban mobility.

In addition to the Pony Mini EV, visitors to the Bestune booth can also explore other New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) showcased under related brands such as Seres, Aito, and DFSK. Electric models which reflect upon the increasing focus of Filipinos on electrification.
