VX Showdown: Taking on the Automotive Elite with BMW X5, HIGHLANDAR

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbekistan is experiencing significant growth in the automobile market with the emergence of an increasing number of brands. One such brand is EXEED, a premium automobile brand from China.

This Chinese manufacturer began selling its cars in Uzbekistan in June 2023. Since its inception, EXEED has been bringing innovation and style to the local automotive industry, providing consumers with new choices in the premium vehicle segment.

Shirzod Ahmad, product manager of EXEED Uzbekistan, said that EXEED VX is a flagship SUV with outstanding performance. It should be noted that the EXEED VX design was created under the direction of Kevin Rice, who is responsible for the exterior design of some BMW models.

He said that the overall dimensions of the SUV are 4.97 meters long, 1.94 meters wide and 1792 mm high. In all these respects, the EXEED VX outperforms its competitors, the Highlander and BMW X5. The high ground clearance of 200 mm ensures excellent maneuverability on country roads and outside the city.

He underlined that the EXEED VX SUV’s engine output is 192 horsepower (compared to 181 horsepower in the Highlander and 190 horsepower in the BMW X5). The mass of the car, almost two and a half tons, allows it to accelerate to hundreds in 8.5 seconds. In this regard, the EXEED VX is slightly superior to the Highlander (8.63 seconds), but inferior to the BMW X5 (7.3 seconds).

EXEED VX gasoline consumption is 8.5 liters per 100 km. Compared to the Highlander (5.97 liters) and BMW X5 (8.7 liters), this value confirms the economy and fuel efficiency of this model, Shirzod Ahmad said.

Lane Change Assist and Lane Keeping Assist alert the driver to other road users and potential lane changes. Active cruise control with front and rear collision warning improves driving safety, he added.

Shirzod Ahmad underlined that EXEED VX is designed to provide maximum comfort. Each passenger feels the convenience of comfortable seats, spacious head and legroom, as well as high-quality finishing materials.

Product manager said that the EXEED VX digital cockpit includes two color displays of 12.3 inches each. The car owner can choose from three design and graphics options. The car has a voice control system.

Shirzod Ahmad said that panoramic sunroof with an area of 1.12 sq. m creates a feeling of spaciousness and freedom in the cabin. The three-zone intelligent air conditioning allows each passenger to set the temperature according to their own preferences.

The machine is also equipped with an air purification system, which is an important factor given the air quality situation in Tashkent.

How well do you know the EXEED brand? EXEED brand is a new entrant into the global luxury car market, but it has inherited a century of history from the European automobile industry and integrated the latest smart technologies in China, giving it the ability to compete with traditional luxury car brands.

The name EXEED comes from the English word Exceed. These words encapsulate the core values of the new brand: excellence, sophistication, intelligence.

The technological partner of EXEED is the Jaguar Land Rover concern, and the development of the first models based on the R&D center EXEED was led by an international team, including leading European designers and engineers. Manufacturers of components for the automotive industry, such as Intel, Bosch, Magna, Benteler, also contributed to the creation of the brand.

Vice Director of EXEED Uzbekistan, Guo Yan-lan, emphasized in production, the company uses products from leading global manufacturers. “Our suppliers include companies such as Sony, BOSCH, Continental, Intel, Magna, Benteler, and others,” she noted.
