Having been launched last month, the Geely EX5 has finally received its official pricing at the ongoing Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS). The electric SUV, a twin of the Proton eMas 7, is available in the same Pro and Max twins as in Thailand, retailing at 475 million rupiah (RM129,400) and 515 million rupiah (RM140,300) respectively.
Early-bird buyers, however, receive a 10 million rupiah (RM2,700) discount, bringing the prices down to 465 million rupiah (RM126,700) for the Pro and 505 million rupiah (RM137,600) for the Max. Both are CBU fully imported from China, but the car will be CKD locally assembled from the third quarter of the year onwards, with the Bekasi Phase II plant set to be completed by Q2.
As per in other markets in the region, Indonesia gets a single mechanical specification, with a single front motor producing 218 PS (160 kW) and 320 Nm of torque, as well as the largest available 60.22 kWh Aegis short blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. The lighter Pro model gets from zero to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and has a range of 495 km on the lenient NEDC cycle, while the more well-equipped (and thus heavier) Max completes the century sprint in 7.1 seconds and can travel 490 km on a single charge.
By comparison, the Australian-market equivalent Complete and Inspire variants have a range of 430 and 410 km respectively on the more realistic WLTP cycle, although the Inspire does come with larger 19-inch wheels which the Indonesian models lack (18-inch rollers come standard there). The top-spec eMas 7 Premium with the 19s and the 60.22 kWh battery also has a 410 km WLTP range.
Charging from 30 to 80% takes 20 minutes using a 100 kW DC fast charger, while AC charging with a 11 kW wallbox takes 6.1 hours. There’s also a 3.3 kW vehicle-to-load (V2L) function.
Other highlights include a 10.2-inch digital instrument display and a 15.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, both running on Geely’s Flyme Auto operating system, developed in conjunction with phone maker Meizu. The Max gains a head-up display, 256-colour ambient lighting, front seat memory and massage functions, a passenger-side ottoman and a 16-speaker Flyme Sound system.
The Max is unfortunately also the only model to come with any form of driver assistance features, such as autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane centring assist, blind spot monitoring, rear collision warning with collision prevention, rear cross traffic alert with auto brake, traffic sign recognition and a door opening warning. Six airbags and stability control are standard.
Five colours are available in Indonesia, these being Turquoise Green, Carbon Black, Frost Grey, Moonlight Silver and Snowy White, the last one being the only option for the Pro model. The interior comes in Dark Blue as standard, but the Max can also be had in Ivory White, which is not available on the eMas 7.
