2024 Bestune e05 electric MPV is selling for PHP 1.498M

This year's Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) is going to be packed. With nearly 30 brands set to be present at the annual auto show across two venues, there will surely be plenty of vehicles for showgoers to see and perhaps put a downpayment on.

One of those is Bestune, a new auto brand that will make its presence felt at this year's MIAS with the e05, an all-electric (and stylish) MPV. Combining sleek looks with a zero-emissions powertrain, the Bestune e05 will be distributed by Evo x Terra, the same company that offers the Hongqi and Weltmeister brands.

So what can we expect from the e05? For starters, the electric MPV comes with a front-mounted single electric motor that's powered by a 54 kWh battery pack. This gives the people carrier 215 PS along with 300 Nm of torque. On a full charge, the MPV has a range of up to 430 km which is more than enough to get around the city or for a road trip.

Also worth mentioning about the e05 is its design. Besides having a sleek exterior, the e05 is unique in its way as it comes with a sliding rear right door along with a traditional swing-out door on the left. Combined with its low floor, the Bestune e05 is a convenient MPV, especially for children & the elderly.

When it comes to its features, the electric MPV will be available with leather upholstery, a free-standing touchscreen with Bluetooth & Carbitlink (no Apple CarPlay/Android Auto), automatic climate control, an armrest for the driver, a flat bottom steering wheel, and a digital instrument cluster.

The Bestune e05 will sell for PHP 1.498 million and will be covered by a 5-year/150,000 km general warranty along with an 8-year/160,000 km warranty for the battery & motor. Despite not being officially launched yet, the e05 is already quite popular with several buyers as the first batch of the electric MPV is already sold out according to Evo x Terra.

They will be bringing the second batch at this year's MIAS which could prove to be popular for buyers looking for an electric MPV that's exempt from number coding. With the annual auto show set for April, we will be keeping our eyes peeled for more upcoming vehicles that will be launched at MIAS 2024.
