Skywell has officially launched its first electric SUV in Nepal—the Skywell ET5. This model boasts an impressive NEDC range of 620 kilometers on a single charge, setting a new standard for electric vehicles (EVs) in the country. With its debut at the NADA Auto Show 2023, the ET5 has quickly captured attention, especially due to its outstanding range and advanced features.
In Nepal, the Skywell ET5 is priced at Rs 1,09,00,000. This price places it in the premium segment of the market. The ET5 is available in several colors: Grey, Blue, Black, and White. This range of options allows buyers to select a model that matches their personal style.
Skywell, a sibling company to the well-known Skyworth, is renowned for its consumer electronics and digital products. Now, the company is making waves in the electric vehicle market. The Skywell ET5 enters a competitive segment, challenging other premium electric SUVs like the BYD Seal Dynamic, Tesla Model 3 Highland, and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Outstanding Performance and Specifications
The Skywell ET5 delivers both in performance and design. Its 150 kW Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) produces a peak torque of 320 Nm. This power allows the ET5 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.9 seconds. With a top speed of 185 km/h, this SUV offers a thrilling drive.
The ET5 is powered by an 86 kWh Lithium Ternotary battery. This battery provides a remarkable NEDC range of 620 kilometers. Charging is efficient, taking approximately 8 hours with an 11 kW charger. This makes the ET5 a practical choice for daily commutes and long journeys.
Comfort and Safety Features
The ET5 promises a comfortable ride with its advanced suspension system. It features a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear, ensuring a smooth driving experience. The braking system, which includes vented disc brakes at the front and disc brakes at the rear, enhances safety.
The SUV rides on 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels with 235/50 R19 tires. Inside, the ET5 offers generous space, comfortably seating five passengers. With a boot space of 467 liters (with seats up) and 1141 liters (with seats folded down), it is ideal for both everyday use and extended trips.
