The Chevrolet Menlo (Chinese: 畅巡; pinyin: chàng xún) is a battery electric compact station wagon manufactured by General Motors, sold exclusively in China. It is the first Chevrolet EV available in China.^[1]

The Chevrolet Menlo is based on the Chevrolet FNR-X concept shown at the 2017 Auto Shanghai show. The production version of the Menlo debuted at a gala event in Hefei, Anhui on November 8, 2019,^[2] and was also shown at the 2019 Auto Guangzhou show. Pre-ordering began in December, and deliveries started on February 20, 2020.^[1]

The Chinese government provides a subsidy of up to 100,000 yuan (approximately US$14,250), making the Menlo the lowest-priced compact electric crossover in China.^[1]

Unlike the rest of the Chevrolet's models, the Menlo has a unique trim level naming scheme, which includes Starshare, Galaxy, Nebula, and Starlux. It also features three driving modes (standard, sport, and economy) and three levels of energy recycling.^[1]

The Menlo has a lithium-ion battery, with 52.5 kWh capacity and a range of up to 410 km (255 mi) on the NEDC when it debuted. It supplies electricity to a motor that provided up to 110 kW (148 hp; 150 PS) of power and 350 N⋅m (258 lb⋅ft) of torque.^[1] This battery is also used in the Buick Velite 6 Plus.

For 2022, the battery pack was upgraded to 61.1 kWh capacity and the motor to 130 kW (174 hp; 177 PS) of power.^[3] The range was also increased to 518 km (322 mi).
