### Successor

KAON E-Qlasse, MK2, E200

This first generation was the "new version of making vehicles" (said by KAON), and introduced KAON to the subcompact world. It was offered only as a 2-door Hatchback(DidE), and a 4-door Sedan(GegE). It used an electric motor used in all the vehicles from the company(KVSVS2.3X). It had a really enormous success. It was a pioneer in the subcompact segment, because, it was the first in-country developed subcompact car.

## Post-production production

In some countries it was even produced until 2001 with all the facelifts necessary, even getting to know in life the 8th gen., from the same car.

## VCMCC classic first gen reintroduced as a economic a-segment car.

In 2007, Vemio Classics Motor Company Coachbuilder (VCMCC), presented the KlassiksE Qonzept, which showed a all new car based on the E100, but in a all new plattform, a reconstruction of the original car, but facing the XXI-century. In 2009, it started production as the VCMCC KlassikSE. Since then, it hasn't stopped production. Here is a quick review of all done and purposed gens and subtypes:

## First Generation (2009-2038,Typ E100N1)

This first gen was first presented in 2009, and it has purposed several actualssations (Subtypes, ST):

### ST-A(2009-2013, Type E100N1.1)

This is the first reintroduction of the first gen E-Qlasse, it was offered as a 3 door hatchback (yes, the DidE was back!). It also came a plug in hybrid version of it. I was economic, cheap and easy to use. It was intended to compete the Fiat 500. In 2013, in it's last year, the ST-A KlassiksE was introduced as a 4-door sedan, called GegE, just like the original.

### ST-B(2014-2018, Type E100N1.2)

In this 2nd SubType, VCMCC, started production with the edition 70-Years-TO-ORIGINAL, to celebrate 70 years of starting production of the E-Qlasse. This SubType was first introduced as DidE and GegE, but in 2015, the WagE started production, in honor tho the limited edition of KAON E-Qlasse WagE PV, a panel van made for cargo, but the new one was also for passangers. This new generation, shared platform with the 3rd gen VEMIO Esven, and reentered the electric motor KVSVS2.3X, but with actualisations for this 21st century. It also introduced to the linup, the all new DidE RSgtEi, a sportier version, shared with the Type S802L of the E-Qlasse. In 2017, the brand presented the DidE+, a 5-door version of the normal DidE, based on the current linup of the E-Qlasse.

## Second Generation (Type E200, MK2, 1942-1951)

The Second Generation was the second attempt to make this brand enter into the subcompact segment, and was even more successful than the first. It was offered as a 2-door Hatchback(DidE), a 4-door Sedan(GegE), and introduced the 5-door station wagon, called(WagE). It still used that same electric motor used in all the vehicles from the company. The design evolved to have all the external components more inward, providing it a modern look.

## Third Generation (Type E300, MK3, 1952-1961)

The Third Generation worked nicely to continue the subcompact segment, but was less successful than the second. It was offered as a 2-door Hatchback(DidE), a 4-door Sedan(GegE), and 5-door station wagon, called WagE. It developed a new engine only used in this generation and the fourth. The design evolved even more trying harder to have all the external components more inward, providing it a more aerodynamic and performance look. For more, this generation entered a new and sportier version, called RSgtEi, in 1957.

## Fourth Generation (Type E400, MK4, 1962-1969)

The Fourth Generation was a huge evolution from the last one making it competitive to continue in the subcompact segment, but the success decreased a little bit more, but not that much like the 3rd from the second. It was offered as a 3 and 5-door Hatchback(DidE), the GegE, and the WagE. It use the previous generation engine only used in this generation and the third. The design evolved even more hidding all the external components, providing the ultimate look look. With a dying KAON, this generation made new and even sportier version, called RSrlli in 1965, saying goodbye to E-by-KAON, with a 7-year hiatus, coming back with a young brand, VEMIO.

## VEMIO-built

Since 1969, VEMIO took control of the E-Qlasse, changed the badge and the design, but was the same essence, but this time being a compact, and later a midsize car.

## Fifth Generation (Type X320L, MK5, 1976-1982)

This generation was a huge change, because, it had become into a compact car, and it looked sober, and had different proportions, but in essence, was the same car. Also the names changed, the GegE becoming the E-Sedan, the WagE becoming the E-Wagon, and getting the E-Sport, a Coupé, only with 2 doors. It also got the RSgtEi and RSrlli, but there was no Hatchback, until the S076X generation. It has
