First Drive Geely EX2 Electric Car, Reliable for Urbanites

Katadata OTO Rating:

Compact size, responsive power, and soft ride.

A number of ADAS features are quite sensitive and the rear trunk is not too large.

Then, when driven, the Geely EX2 offers a fairly soft ride, thanks to the combination of front MacPherson suspension and rear multi-link.

It can absorb road irregularities in the Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) 2 area, which is known for being uneven.

When asked to maneuver, the Geely EX2's ride remains relatively stable without excessive body roll.

The turning radius is 4.95 meters, making U-turns and sharp turns in tight spaces easy.

For acceleration, the 114-hp motor with a peak torque of 150 Nm makes the Geely EX2 very responsive.

It delivers smooth and progressive thrust; the power output is not abrupt, making it reliable for everyday mobility.

Likewise during deceleration, the regenerative braking process feels very smooth, not causing nausea for passengers or the driver.

In terms of range, the EV is claimed to travel up to 395 km on a single charge based on NEDC testing.

It also supports fast charging, going from 30% to 80% in just 25 minutes.

Thus, the Geely EX2 can also be taken on long trips, such as holiday travel during Eid or family vacations out of town.

Conclusion

Overall, the Geely EX2 offers several advantages that urban dwellers can use to meet mobility needs.
