Ligier JS60: price, 164 km range and 580-liter boot

The new Ligier JS60 is a French two-seat quadricycle with a 580-liter boot, up to 164 km WMTC range and L6e or L7e versions.

A 580-liter boot in a body just 2.998 meters long. That is what French manufacturer Ligier has achieved with the new JS60, which looks like a compact crossover but is officially a quadricycle. The entry-level electric version in France starts at €16,999.

The unusual proportions come from a substantial redesign of the body. According to Ligier's official release, luggage capacity has increased by 110 liters compared with the JS50, while the loading sill has been lowered by 15 cm. A more upright rear section created extra cargo space without changing the two-seat layout.

The electric JS60 uses an 11.04 kWh battery with active thermal management and integrated heating. Claimed range is up to 164 km on the WMTC cycle, while charging from 20 to 80% takes about 3.5 hours. The COLD DRIVE system prepares the battery for low temperatures while the vehicle is plugged in. Ligier says it tested the system in Norway at temperatures down to −20 °C and backs the battery with a five-year warranty.

Two electric versions are offered. The light L6e model is limited to 45 km/h and, in France, can be driven from age 14 subject to the local AM licence requirements. The faster L7e reaches up to 75 km/h, is available from age 16 and requires a B1 licence. Similar distinctions apply to other European L6e and L7e quadricycles.

Depending on trim, equipment includes a 10-inch infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a reversing camera, power steering and a heated driver's seat. Three trim levels are offered: Select, Elite and Ultimate.

For buyers who need more range, Ligier also offers the diesel REVO D+. With a claimed WMTC consumption of 3 l/100 km and a 17-liter fuel tank, it can travel more than 550 km. Prices start at €16,499, only €500 below the entry-level electric version.

The new JS60 is built in Abrest, France. Despite its large boot and relatively rich equipment, it remains a quadricycle: its speed limits and operating conditions mean it is not a direct substitute for a conventional passenger car.
