Geely EX5 launching in Indonesia on January 22 – Proton eMas 7 twin with up to 430 km WLTP range

Having launched the car in both Thailand and Hong Kong, Geely is now gearing up to bring the EX5 to the Indonesian market this month. According to local news portal Kompas, the carmaker sent out media invites for the electric SUV’s launch, happening on January 22.

To recap, the EX5 is the global version of the Galaxy E5, which is a twin of the recently-launched Proton eMas 7. All three cars are identical down to the powertrain – a single electric motor at 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 range of 345 km as well as 60.22 kWh pack that enables the EX5 to travel up to 410 km on a single charge. Both figures are based on the more realistic WLTP cycle, with the latter stretching to 430 km with the smaller of the two available wheel sizes (18 inches versus 19s).

Pricing remains to be seen, although it’s unlikely Indonesia will be able to beat Malaysia. Here, the car (as the eMas 7) is the cheapest 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.
