Thai-market car, pics from AutolifeThailand Here we go again. After getting priced at the equivalent of RM51k-55k in Thailand, and therefore cheaper than our our RM57k-70k Proton eMas 5, the Geely EX2’s Indonesian prices are out, and they’re 233-273 million rupiah (RM56k-66k). Of course, you’re going to get your pitchforks out, but consider that just like Thailand, Indonesia’s entry-level EV market is crowded, competitive and cut-throat. Wuling is the top EV brand there, with many small and affordable choices, so the Geely EX2 needs to be priced accordingly competitively. Like in Thailand, both Pro and Max variants in Indonesia get a 116 PS/150 Nm rear electric motor (the more powerful one used by our eMas 5 Premium). There seems to be no lesser option like our eMas 5 Prime’s 79 PS/130 Nm unit. And we have an official 0-100 km/h time – it’s 11.5 seconds.

This yields a 395 km NEDC range (compared to the eMas 5’s 225/325 km WLTP from 30.12/40.16 kWh batteries). Equipment-wise, the EX2 in Indonesia offers a powered driver’s seat on the Max variant, which no eMas 5 variant has. Also, the base EX2 Pro already gets automatic LED projector headlamps – we need to buy the eMas 5 Premium to enjoy these. However, the Proton fights back with a powered tailgate, which is not available in Indonesia, and six airbags across the range (the Indonesian EX2 Pro has just four airbags; only the EX2 Max has six). Also, while the EX2 Max and eMas 5 Premium both have the full ADAS suite including AEB and ACC, the EX2 Pro does without the eMas 5 Prime’s blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, rear collision warning and door opening warning.

On to colours – the Indonesian car can be had in Nebula Beige, Comet Grey, Star Silver and Moon White (the top-spec Max additionally gets Aurora Pink and Stellar Blue choices). As for the interior, the Max’s is either Dark Grey or Ivory White; the Pro only gets the former. Meanwhile, our eMas 5 can be had in Moonstone White, Graphite Silver and Slate Grey (the top-spec Premium additionally gets Marble Cream and Quartz Rose choices; all Premium cars have black roofs). The interior is Alabaster White if the exterior is either Marble Cream or Quartz Rose; otherwise it’s Flint Grey. A updated model is already in the oven – see what you can expect here.
