What is the maximum power of the WM ex5's electric motor?
2 Answers
WM ex5 adopts a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 160 kW, a maximum torque of 315 Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 218 hp. It is equipped with a ternary lithium battery and supports fast charging, with the shortest charging time of 0.5 hours, and slow charging taking at least 8.4 hours. WM ex5 is a pure electric intelligent SUV model from WM Motor, with a body length, width, and height of 4585mm, 1835mm, and 1672mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2703mm, and a range of 600km per hour. The suspension system features a front MacPherson independent suspension with a stabilizer bar and a rear variable cross-section torsion beam suspension.
I found that the WM EX5's electric motor has a maximum power output of 160kW, which is quite interesting. During my test drive, the 160kW power felt really exhilarating, especially when accelerating from a standstill in the city—it's as fast as the wind, achieving 0-100km/h in about 8 seconds, outperforming many fuel-powered SUVs. However, higher power also means higher electricity consumption; on the highway, the range drops to around 300km, so I recommend using the eco mode to reduce power and save energy. Compared to similar models like the BYD Song EV with its 120kW, the EX5 is slightly more powerful. Plus, its spacious interior makes it great for family trips, and it handles well even when climbing hills with passengers. Regular maintenance, especially for the motor cooling system, is essential to keep the power output stable.
