This is the Beijing Auto EX5, a new compact electric
SUV for China. The EX5 will debut at the Beijing Auto Show in April and launch
on the Chinese car market soon thereafter.
The Beijing Auto EX5 will be powered by an electric
motor with 218 hp. Range will be 400 kilometers, and top speed will top out at
160 km/h. The EX5 is a five-seat car measuring 4480/1837/1673 mm, with a wheelbase
of 2665 mm.
The lower bumper section is interesting, as there seem to be
fake-exhaust pipes on the sides. Beijing Auto wouldn’t be the only Chinese car
maker to have ‘exhaust pipes’ on an electric car, good ol’ Yema does it even
better.
The nose decoration is silver here but will likely
be painted blue on the final production car. Price of the Beijing Auto EX5,
including subsidies, will start around 180,000 yuan.
