Having launched the automotive in each Thailand and Hong Kong, Geely is now gearing as much as bring the EX5 to the Indonesian market this month. In response to local news portal Kompas, the carmaker sent out media invites for the electrical SUV’s launch, happening on January 22.
To recap, the EX5 is the worldwide version of the Galaxy E5, which is a twin of the recently-launched Proton eMas 7. All three cars are an identical all the way down to the powertrain – a single electric motor on the front that produces 218 PS (160 kW) and 320 Nm of torque, getting them from zero to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds.
Two sizes of Geely’s Aegis short blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery are offered – a 49.52 kWh unit that delivers a spread of 345 km in addition to 60.22 kWh pack that allows the EX5 to travel as much as 410 km on a single charge. Each figures are based on the more realistic WLTP cycle, with the latter stretching to 430 km with the smaller of the 2 available wheel sizes (18 inches versus 19s).
Pricing stays to be seen, even though it’s unlikely Indonesia will have the option to beat Malaysia. Here, the automotive (because the eMas 7) is the most cost effective outside of China, retailing at RM109,800 for the Prime with the 49.52 kWh battery and RM123,800 for the Premium with the 60.22 kWh pack.
