The Boma X9 ultra-compact EV is one of the stars at the recent EVM Asia expo. With a claimed range of up to 140km and top speed of 70km/h, here's a closer look at the 4-seater EV.
The Smart Nation – EVM Asia expo made a return once again earlier this week at the Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre Kuala Lumpur. Despite the event’s name, there were only a handful of electric vehicles on display at the event with some of them being from major brands but I believe this particular model took most of the attention away: the Boma X9.
Even though the booth may had a lacklustre appearance, many visitors still stopped by to take a closer look at the EV. It is obvious that many were attracted to its ultra-compact physique and vibrant design but there’s certainly more to it than just its exterior features.Almost everyone who stopped by the booth asked how much the X9 costs in Malaysia. Unfortunately, the car doesn’t have any price tag attached to it just yet since it is not available for sale in our market for the time being.
In terms of performance, customers can choose to have an electric motor with up to 4kW although the torque rating was not revealed in the specs sheet that I received from Feibo Automobile’s local representatives. While they told me that the EV can go up to 70km/h, the specs sheet did say the X9 maxes out at 60km/h when at full load.
Since the EV’s front chairs can still be slid front and back, there is no legroom issue for me as well. That being said, the height of the driving seats and steering wheel can’t be adjusted which is a deal breaker for me personally. I was not able to tell the material that was used for the seats as well as their quality since they were under wraps the whole time the car was on display. For the rest of the X9’s interior section, plastic was certainly Feibo Automobile’s material of choice and the build quality certainly showed that you are not looking at a premium vehicle.
The specs sheet mentioned that the X9 comes standard with front and rear seat belts. However, I was not able to locate them on the unit that was on display at EVM Asia.
