        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - With a competitive price, Wuling has officially launched\nthe Eksion plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) as a new option for\nenvironmentally friendly cars. Featuring a seven-seater sport utility\nvehicle (SUV) concept, the Wuling Eksion PHEV not only offers\neco-friendly technology without concerns over charging dependency but\nalso provides comfort and spaciousness as a family car choice. The\nEksion PHEV is equipped with a 1,500 cc naturally aspirated (NA) petrol\nengine, similar to that used in the Wuling Darion PHEV. The power\ncombination is transmitted to the wheels via a Dedicated Hybrid\nTransmission (DHT). Its battery has a capacity of 20.5 kWh and is\nclaimed to enable up to 125 kilometres in pure electric mode. Notably,\nrelying on both the battery and hybrid system, the Wuling Eksion PHEV is\nclaimed to achieve a distance of up to 1,000 km based on CLTC testing.\nIn comparison, its price competes with the Geely Starry EM-i and Chery\nTiggo 8 CSH. However, the pricing provided by Wuling is temporary,\nmeaning there will be further adjustments for the Eksion PHEV. The\narrival of the Eksion PHEV is predicted to enhance the competitive\nlandscape in the hybrid car segment, in line with the rising public\ninterest in environmentally friendly vehicles for fuel efficiency.\nWuling Eksion PHEV CE Rp 449,000,000 Eksion PHEV EX Rp 499,000,000\nCortes Darion PHEC EX Rp 499,000,000 Cortez Darion PHEV CE Rp\n449,000,000 Almaz Hybrid Rp 479,000,000 Almaz RS Pro Hybrid Rp\n445,000,000 Lepas L8 Rp 589,000,000 (pre-book) Geely<\/p>",
