Exlantix ET flagship SUV confirmed for Australia

The Exlantix ET SUV inherits the same dash-dominating screen layout as the ES GT in a more upright body, about 4955mm long on the same 3000mm wheelbase.

Inside, it swaps out the faux-carbonfibre trim for real open-pore wood, aiming for a more laid-back, premium feel, while rear-seat passengers are treated to heated, ventilated and massaging chairs with their controls embedded into the rear doors themselves.

The large SUV is tipped to get a similarly posh sound system as its slinky wagon sibling, a 2.38-square-metre panoramic glass roof and a 546-litre boot expanding to 1835L with the seats folded, plus a 60-litre frunk on EV versions.

Mechanically, it mirrors the wagon: both BEV and EREV variants deliver 353kW through all four wheels and hit 100km/h in 4.8 seconds.

This model is capable of a 30–80 per cent charge, around 260km, in 15 minutes, while the EREV claims as much as 1500km of combined range.

Air suspension with 100mm of ride-height adjustment, which self-lowers above 120km/h for efficiency, rounds out the luxury brief.

Naturally, Chinese-market specification rarely survives the trip to Australia intact, so treat these figures as a guide until local details are locked in.

No Australian pricing has been confirmed, but a source suggests European pricing could sit around €60,000 – roughly $A97,000.

Given Australia’s lighter import tariffs by precedent, something closer to $80,000–$85,000 before on-road costs is a plausible landing zone.
