JAKARTA - Morris Garage (MG) will expand its electric car lineup in India by launching the MG Cloud EV model or as the Wuling Cloud EV in Indonesia.

It is known that the two manufacturers, MG and Wuling, are under the same auspices, namely Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), so they often share platforms. In India, MG has launched the Comet EV model which is the same version of Wuling Air EV in Indonesia.

Quoting from the Indian Autocar page, Thursday, June 27, the MG Cloud EV is expected to be launched soon. This car was caught on camera being tested on the road with a camouflage robe and the words 'Intelligent CUV' on its side body.

In specifications, the Cloud EV has a length dimension of 4,300 mm with a wheelbase of 2,700 mm, featuring a very modern and futuristic design. The side of this car features an aerodynamic design, equipped with a Multifunctional Review Mirror and Hidden Inductive Door Handles that adds a sleek impression on the door.

The MG Cloud EV will be available in two battery pack options: 37.9 kWh and 50.6 kWh, with a range ranging from 360 to 460 km. The car is powered by a permanent magnetic synchronous motor mounted on the front doubles, producing 134 cellphones. However, it is not certain which version will be available for the Indian market.

In terms of price, MG Cloud EV is expected to sell below 2 million rupees, which will be a competitor to Nexo EV and Mahindra XUV400. In Indonesia, the current price of the Wuling Cloud EV reaches IDR 389 million, slightly more expensive than the one in India.

VOI has also had the opportunity to try this car in Indonesia. Wuling provides several driving modes according to user needs. In Eco+ mode, the car can only run at a maximum speed of up to 80 km/hour. While in Eco to Sport mode, the car can reach speeds of up to 150 km/hour.

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

The interior of this car offers a classy cabin covered in quality fine skin. A neat dashboard makes it easier for users to put things easily. Carrying the concept of "Home Life Space", this car offers comfort and softness that is highlighted through the design of the Italian Bubble Sofa Style bench which can be arranged electrically in six directions at the back, so passengers can rest comfortably.
