The Weltmeister EX5, also known as the W5, is a Proton X70-sized SUV. In China, WM Motor offers two variants of the EX – EX5 Nex and EX5 Pro. Both variants offer a 520 km range out of a 49-kWh battery pack. 0-100 km/h is dispatched in just 8.3 seconds, thanks to its 160 kW / 315 Nm electric motor.
Both variants of the Weltmeister EX5 also come with full ADAS, including adaptive cruise control (ACC), traffic jam assist (TJA), traffic sign recognition (TSR), lane keep assist (LKA), autonomous emergency braking (AEB), forward collision warning (FCW), blind spot detection (BSD), lane change alert (LCA), lane departure warning (LDW), and rear cross traffic alert (RCTA).
"We prioritize the SUV model taking into account the Indonesian market taste, the contours of the road and nature, as well as aspects of practicality and functionality," Yedi added.
Apart from Indonesia, PT WM Motor Asia Pacific has set sights on Philippines, Vietnam, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, and other markets.
