Wuling Eksion Cannot Yet Be Ordered, Dealers Already Collecting Reservation Deposits

JAKARTA – The Wuling Eksion has been unveiled at the 2026 Indonesia International Motor Show but cannot yet be ordered officially by consumers. Ricky Christian, Marketing Operation Director at Wuling Motors, stated that the model remains in preparation stages before being released to the public, including readying its production process in Indonesia.

“At present, it cannot be ordered because we are still preparing the product,” Ricky said in Jakarta last week. “The Wuling is produced locally in Cikarang, so we are still preparing the production process as well.”

Nevertheless, Ricky did not rule out the possibility that some dealers have already received informal consumer interest. “Our dealers may have received inquiries, but this is not official. If consumers are interested and contact dealers, we certainly do not reject them,” he said.

However, Ricky emphasised that such reservations are not yet officially recorded by the company. Currently, consumer interest is only being noted manually by individual dealers. “Not yet, at present it is still noted manually at our dealers,” he said.

He added that the reservation mechanism at dealers currently also varies as there is no official company policy yet. “That may be the policy of each dealer. But when we officially open the booking period, we will definitely standardise and align the procedures,” Ricky said.

For context, the Wuling Eksion is a seven-seater family SUV offered in a choice of pure electric (EV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains. The vehicle measures approximately 4.7 metres in length, 1.8 metres in width, and 1.7 metres in height with a wheelbase of around 2.8 metres.

In terms of performance, the electric variant uses an electric motor with approximately 150 kW of power, equivalent to 201 bhp. Its range is claimed to reach approximately 530 kilometres on a single battery charge. Meanwhile, the PHEV version is claimed to offer a combined range exceeding 1,000 kilometres.

Consumer interest in the model is already becoming visible. Ricky noted that the Eksion product page on Wuling’s official website has recorded considerable traffic.
