In February 2023, the Chinese joint-venture SAIC-GM-Wuling introduced a new small city car in the form of a combination of a 3-door hatchback with features reminiscent of large off-road vehicles such as the Suzuki Jimny.

[5] In addition, despite its small external dimensions, the Yep is a 4-seater car that can accommodate 2 passengers in each row of seats,[5] which has been achieved with a length of less than 3.4 meters.

[7][8][9] The Yep was created for the dynamically developing electric car market in China in mind, with the start of sales scheduled for May 2023, just after the official presentation to the public at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show.

The iron-phosphate battery allows the user to drive about 303 kilometers on a single charge in urban conditions according to the CLTC measurement cycle.

In January 2025, the Yep Plus was announced to be exported to Brazil as the General Motors do Brasil import under brand Chevrolet Spark EUV.
