EX2

Driving Experience

It drives more like a regular city car than an EV, which is a compliment — easy to manage, tight turning radius, and the steering weight in Sport mode is actually one of the best in its class. The suspension is firm rather than floaty, which I appreciate, though rear passengers will feel bumps more than those up front.

Pros

• Rear-wheel drive with independent suspension on all four trims
• Exceptional real-world efficiency for its battery size
• Surprisingly spacious cabin and rear legroom for a 180cm person
• 70-liter front trunk — unique in this class
• Hidden under-rear-seat storage compartment
• 360-degree camera on the top trim
• DC fast charging at 70kW, hits 30–80% in about 25 minutes
• V2L support up to 3.3kW for outdoor use

Cons

• No rear wiper — a real concern in Thailand's rainy season
• No powered folding mirrors
• No lane-centering assist on any trim
• Regen braking in high mode feels jerky and unrefined
• No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto until June 2026 update
• Rear seat has no center armrest
• Seatbelt height not adjustable
• Car gets unsettled by strong crosswinds at highway speeds

Value for Money

If the price comes in around 400,000 THB as hinted, you'd be getting rear-wheel drive, full independent suspension, and class-leading efficiency — features you simply can't find elsewhere at this price point. The missing convenience features sting a little, but the fundamentals are solid enough to overlook them at the right price.

Verdict

The EX2 is the right car for someone who wants practical EV ownership without a huge budget — efficient, roomy, and better to drive than the spec sheet suggests. Skip it if you need Apple CarPlay now or demand a plush rear ride, but watch the price reveal closely.

Driving Experience

The suspension is tuned firm and confident — not wallowy like most Chinese EVs I've driven, and it handles lane changes at speed without drama. The rear-wheel-drive character adds a bit of fun, and the steering weights up nicely at speed even if it's not perfectly natural.

Pros

• 0-100 under 10 seconds, beats the factory claim
• Rear multilink suspension at this price is impressive
• Firm, planted handling — no nausea-inducing float
• Interior cabin space is larger than the exterior suggests
• Soft door trim material reduces road noise and rattles
• 360-degree camera is sharp and responsive
• 6 airbags and disc brakes on all four wheels
• DC fast charging up to 70kW on a sub-500K THB car

Cons

• Apple CarPlay not available yet — only mirror link for now
• No rear windshield wiper
• Rear seat has no armrest and headrests can't be removed
• Side mirrors don't fold electrically
• Lane keeping only warns, doesn't actively steer back
• Steering feel isn't fully natural — slight artificial quality
• Rear seat comfort is limited since you're sitting over the battery pack
• Sound system is mediocre even with 6 speakers

Value for Money

For under 460K THB you get multilink rear suspension, RWD, fast DC charging, and a genuinely fun-to-drive character — that combination is hard to match in this segment. If you're considering a Dolphin or BYD Atto UT, the EX2 Max's extra 30K over the base trim is worth it for the full safety tech, wireless charging, and power seat.

Verdict

This is a great first EV or daily city car for anyone who doesn't want mushy handling or a huge financial risk at entry-level EV pricing. If you need long highway range or want the sharpest driving dynamics in the segment, MG4 still wins — but it costs more and the interior is nowhere near this quality.

Driving Experience

The ride is much more comfortable than I expected from a budget EV, with the suspension soaking up bumps nicely and the softer 16-inch tires helping a lot. The steering is light and a bit dull, but the instant torque response still makes city driving feel lively.

Pros

• Massive 70-litre frunk is genuinely useful
• Huge 14.6-inch touchscreen with 360-degree camera
• Illuminated ambient trim punches above its price
• Surprisingly comfortable suspension for a budget EV
• All four power windows have one-touch up and down
• Hidden under-seat storage in the rear
• Roomy cabin even for a six-footer
• ADAS system well-calibrated and not intrusive

Cons

• No rear windscreen wiper on a hatchback is baffling
• Windshield wipers are not automatic
• Sport mode buried deep in the touchscreen menu
• 8.8-inch driver display is too narrow and hard to read
• Flat-bottom steering wheel awkward for U-turns
• Android Auto requires a cable, not wireless
• Only one door unlock button on the driver side
• Rear headrests are fixed and non-adjustable

Value for Money

At 460,000 Baht you get a 360-degree camera, full ADAS, wireless charging, and a frunk — features that cost a lot more on competing EVs. If you can live with the budget-plastic interior and limited highway range, this is genuinely hard to beat at the price.

Verdict

If you want a city EV with impressive features for the money, the EX2 Max is a strong pick. If you do regular upcountry trips or care about premium interior feel, look elsewhere.

Driving Experience

The suspension is impressively composed for a rear-wheel-drive city EV — supple but not floaty, and body roll is well controlled at highway speeds up to 140 km/h. In Normal mode the throttle feels heavier than any other EV I've driven, requiring noticeably more foot pressure before the car moves, but Sport mode livens things up at the cost of some smoothness.

Pros

• Frunk (front storage) — unique in this class
• Cabin space is shockingly large for a small EV
• Suspension is smooth and planted, better than MG4 in comfort
• Tight 4.9m turning radius makes city maneuvering easy
• 14.6-inch screen with wireless charging standard on Max trim
• Camping, pet, and rest modes are genuinely fun extras
• Full LED lighting inside and out below 600k THB
• 6 airbags standard

Cons

• No rear wiper — a real problem in Thai rain
• Rear seats have no armrest
• Throttle pedal requires noticeably heavy foot pressure in Normal mode
• Sport mode acceleration is jerky, not smooth
• Rear cargo cover cannot be stored anywhere when removed
• Steering less sporty than ION, UT, or MG4
• Only 70kW DC fast charging — not cutting edge
• Rear seat USB only on Max trim, nothing on Pro

Value for Money

If the Pro trim lands around 500k THB and the Max stays under 600k THB, this is genuinely competitive against the ION and UT — and it's cheaper than a Honda City while offering an EV with a frunk and a much bigger cabin. The features-per-baht ratio is one of the best I've seen at this price point.

Verdict

The EX2 is the right car if you want a practical, comfortable city EV with a genuinely spacious interior and a feature list that surprises at this price — just don't buy it expecting sporty thrills. If you want fun driving dynamics, the MG4 still wins; if you want a calm, roomy daily driver, the EX2 deserves serious consideration.
