3 Electric Cars from China Collaboration, Poised to Enter Indonesia

1. Mazda EZ-60

This electric car is planned for the export market after receiving a positive response in China.

Although it uses the base of a Changan model, Mazda's design language is maintained and is visible on the front of the Mazda EZ-60.

Not only is there a pure electric variant, the Mazda EZ-60 is also available in a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) option.

The Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) type offers a range of 600 kilometers. Meanwhile, the PHEV offers 1,000 kilometers with a full battery and a full gas tank.

This car has the potential to be brought to Indonesia next year, complementing Mazda's electric car portfolio in the country.

This model uses the Aion V electric car base and maintains a 5-seater configuration.

Its shape is similar to the Aion V, but it retains Toyota's distinctive features in certain parts, such as the front grille.

The Aion V has unique headlamps with a horizontal line pattern, while the front face of the bZ3X features a hammerhead concept.

On a single charge, the Toyota bZ3X is claimed to be able to travel up to 565 kilometers (NEDC testing).

Toyota Indonesia is open to the possibility of the bZ3X's arrival. However, it would not be a completely built-up import as they are focused on locally assembling as much of their vehicle lineup as possible.

3. Hyundai Elexio

This South Korean manufacturer is partnering with BAIC to develop their first electric car for the Chinese market.

The Hyundai Elexio is reportedly built on the same base as the Ioniq 5, so its technical specifications are not much different.

Its design is compact, and the characteristic elongated LED strip is also embedded on the rear of the Elexio to strengthen the car's Hyundai character.

The offered range is impressive, claimed to reach up to 700 kilometers when the battery is 100 percent fully charged.
