Buying one used
Estimated prices by model year in Germany, from its price when new and typical EV depreciation, and the real-world range you can expect today after about 2% battery wear a year. These are estimates, not valuations: mileage, condition and battery health make a big difference.

Summary
The Aiways U5 is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2020 to 2022, when it cost €35,993 in Germany, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.5 seconds, slower than 64% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 196 miles (315 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 21% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 208th of 242 SUVs.
It uses around 3.3 mi/kWh (190 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 60 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 75 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 194 miles (313 km) at motorway speeds.
No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
Second-hand in Germany, a 2020 example is estimated at €8,400–€11,000 and a 2022 one at €11,600–€13,600, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2020 car should still manage about 173 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
