EXLANTIX ES and ET: A New Force in Premium Electric Vehicles
The premium electric vehicle market has just welcomed two incredibly formidable contenders. The EXLANTIX brand is challenging market giants with the introduction of its flagship ES sedan and the robust ET SUV, poised to make a significant impact.
First Impressions: The EXLANTIX E-Performance Experience
Recently, our editorial colleague, Adam Drabik, had the exclusive opportunity to participate in the E-Performance Experience event, organized by EXLANTIX at the Silesia Ring. This event provided invited guests with an up-close look at the new models from the Chinese brand and allowed them to test their performance and capabilities on specially designed tracks. We received a complimentary invitation from EXLANTIX to attend this event; the company had no influence on the content of this material.
So, what was the encounter with EXLANTIX vehicles like?
The main stars of the event were the ES and ET models—vehicles blurring the lines between premium luxury and high-performance sport. Both the EXLANTIX ES and ET are engineered on an advanced electric platform featuring dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, promising exceptional dynamics and control.
EXLANTIX is a new premium brand entering the European market that is set to disrupt the established order. Both electric vehicles showcased by the manufacturer offer a high standard of quality and excellent equipment at a competitive price point, signaling a strong value proposition for consumers.
EXLANTIX ES: A Powerful Electric Sedan
What to Know About the EXLANTIX ES?
Beneath the elegant silhouette of the EXLANTIX ES lies a potent powertrain generating 480 horsepower and an impressive 660 Newton-meters of torque. The result? The ES accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.2 seconds, with its top speed electronically limited to 200 km/h.
Powering this performance is a substantial 100 kWh battery, which provides an estimated driving range of up to 600 kilometers on a single charge. For electric vehicle owners, efficient route planning is crucial, and tools like Android Auto’s EV route planning with Google Maps can significantly enhance the long-distance driving experience.
However, raw specifications only tell part of the story. The car handles with remarkable precision and predictability, especially when tackling aggressive long curves or dynamically exiting corners. The biggest surprise? Despite being a limousine designed for luxuriously covering hundreds of kilometers, it delivers far more sporty excitement than one might expect.
During the event, the ES model performed exceptionally well on the track. While not a typical sports car, its dynamic capabilities and impressive performance were distinctly palpable. Unsurprisingly, the ES excelled in straight-line acceleration, leveraging its 480 horsepower.
The interior materials and finish are definitely a highlight. However, some drivers might find modern solutions, such as adjusting mirrors and the steering wheel via the touchscreen, less intuitive than traditional physical controls.
EXLANTIX ET: The Versatile Premium Electric SUV
For those who prefer a higher driving position, the EXLANTIX ET is the answer. This premium electric SUV also boasts a substantial 480 horsepower. Accelerating this colossal vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h takes approximately 4.8 seconds—a truly respectable figure for its class. A fully charged battery provides an estimated range of 525 kilometers.
What truly impresses about the ET model is its incredible versatility. Its advanced air suspension system ensures passenger comfort during journeys while maintaining exceptional stability at highway speeds. This blend of comfort and performance is a hallmark of modern electric vehicles, much like the innovations seen in MG electric cars with semi-solid state battery technology.
Interestingly, the ET is not afraid to venture off the beaten path. In off-road trials, it performs surprisingly well. An adjustable ground clearance of up to 20.5 cm and a wading depth capability of up to 70 cm position it among the leaders in versatile electric vehicles.
The ET model, which we had the opportunity to drive on the off-road course, proved that, armed with the latest solutions and systems, it can effortlessly tackle more demanding terrains. Both steep ascents and ruts on the prepared track posed no challenge for the vehicle.
