JAKARTA - Wuling has officially increased its electric vehicle (EV) portfolio in Indonesia by presenting the Cloud EV in the Indonesian market, following the success of previous models such as Air ev and BinguoEV.

At first glance, this car comes with a dynamic and light appearance on the exterior. An elegant impression is also present in the cabin room of this electric vehicle with a wide space for movement and the use of classy materials in various areas.

With a unique design with an elegant impression, what becomes curious is the sensation of driving and the enjoyment of advanced features.

VOI on Friday, May 4, had the opportunity to feel the impression of driving, what did it feel like? Here's the review.

Just like BinguoEV, Cloud EV presents a classy but more premium and minimalist cabin. This is shrouded in fine skin with quality dashboards that make it easier for users to put their goods easily here.

Carrying the concept of Home Life Space, this car offers a comfortable and soft impression that is highlighted through the design of the Italian Bubble Sofa Style bench and can be arranged electrically in the back six directions, so that passengers can rest comfortably.

Thus, this car has Sofa Mode which adds comfort in the cabin which is operated by reducing the first row bench to the maximum and then extending the back seat to 135 degrees, so that the entire chair resembles a comfortable long sofa.

Having a relieved dimension, this car is very ergonomic for users with all height. Not only that, the layer of the skin also wraps the steering circle decorated with various function operating buttons.

This hatchback also comes with the lack of conventional button usage. All cabin settings have been systemed through a 15.6-inch LED Central Control Screen head unit in the middle, featuring a number of tunings according to the user's wishes.

Abundant Features

This car has various functions that can be arranged through the central screen, such as lighting settings, Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS), windows, and driving mode.

Another interesting thing is that the Cloud EV is equipped with a Wuling Indonesian Command (WIND), which is the voice command feature to perform a number of tunes. By simply saying 'Hello Wuling', the system will be ready to carry out various cabin arrangements that the users want, such as opening baggage, windows, and others.

The manufacturer also presents a number of driving modes according to the needs of drivers, such as Eco+, Eco, Normal, and Sport. The Cloud EV is also being tested in the incline arena and can run assisted by Auto Vehicle Holding and Hill Hold Control.

Unlike Air ev and BinguoEV, the Cloud EV comes with a transmission lever system located behind the left steering wheel by pressing to D for walking, middle N for neutral, and up for R or backward. Meanwhile, to go to P the driver only press the button in the middle it says 'P'.

The sensation of Driving

Wuling provides a number of driving modes according to the needs of its users. For Eco+, cars can only run at a maximum speed of up to 80 km/hour. Meanwhile, Eco to Sport modes can speed up to 150 km/hour.

Cloud EV has a good acceleration response when the gas pedal is stepped on, especially in Normal and Sport modes. This car can go so that it can easily touch speeds of 70-80 km/hour.

In addition, the Cloud EV offers precise driving maneuvers with a steering wheel that is not too light. Thus, this makes it easier for drivers to take into account exactly when the car is about to turn.

Conclusion

Wuling once again hit the country's EV market by presenting the Cloud EV with a large space and dimension. It is hoped that this car can continue the success of the previous two models, such as Air ev and BinguoEV.

By highlighting the luxurious impression and advanced features, the car is very suitable for users who want to own an electric vehicle but are able to load more people and offer maximum comfort.

The manufacturer from this bamboo curtain country has opened an ordering period for the model at an estimated price of IDR 410 million, including a 10 percent tax cut.
