After the car sales run by Osher Ad drew imitators, supermarket tycoon Rami Levy and the Chinese BAIC importer Dalhom Group announced a vehicle sale through Rami Levy branches. Their press release promised a “car for under NIS 100,000,” but that price applies only to a limited batch of 50 electric family sedans, and the total stock across the other models will be only about 200 cars.
Buyers must pay NIS 2,000 at Rami Levy stores or through a dedicated website, with the balance paid directly to Dalhom Motors. Unlike Osher Ad, which sold the popular Kia Sportage, Levy is offering relatively obscure Chinese models under a brand that currently sells mainly commercial vehicles and is expected to launch additional models in the coming months.
The BAIC EU5 is the cheapest option. It is a compact electric sedan with a 60 kWh battery, 161 horsepower, and an official range of less than 375 kilometers. It lacks basic active safety systems such as autonomous emergency braking, and the Transport Ministry rates its safety at 0 out of 8. Officially, the deal is presented as a NIS 40,000 discount from the registered price, though the article describes the car as outdated in every respect.
The more advanced ArcFox T5 and S5 models, originally intended for Israel by EV MOTORS of Netanya, are also included. They use a 94 kWh battery, 221 horsepower, rear-wheel drive, and have an official range of 570 kilometers, with active safety systems. Each model is offered in 10 units for NIS 165,000. The lineup also includes the BAIC BJ30 hybrid crossover, which has all-wheel drive, some off-road ability, a 1,500 cc turbo gasoline engine plus an electric motor, and 188 combined horsepower, but its price has not been disclosed and orders are being taken only on paper. In parallel, Rami Levy is selling the diesel and electric Tunland pickup and the Cavan van, with the diesel Tunland priced at NIS 262,000 after a NIS 27,000 discount, and the electric version at NIS 326,000, unchanged from list price.
