The 13th Ice Speed Festival drew to a triumphant close on March 2nd, witnessing remarkable feats from EXEED's premium new energy EXLANTIX lineup. The pure electric coupe sedan ES BEV and intelligent range-extending SUV ET REEV not only functioned as the official vehicles of the competition but also, amidst the -20°C extreme chilly environment, shattered multiple records in stock production form – achieving two speed records and a range record. In the "500-meter standing start" challenge, the ES BEV averaged 81km/h, peaking at a terminal velocity beyond 187km/h, establishing a new project record. The ET REEV achieved an average speed of 61km/h, setting a new benchmark for range extender technology. This event marks the EXLANTIX series' debut validation of both pure electric and range-extending prowess in an internationally recognized ice surface competition, highlighting the brand's technological advancements in new energy vehicles within frigid climates.
As one of only three internationally certified automotive speed events globally, the Ice Speed Festival, since its inception in 2012, has always been renowned for its natural ice track and stringent technical requirements. The 2025 event faced even more extreme weather challenges. Throughout the four-day competition, the participating vehicles were subjected to a series of challenging tests on the natural ice surface, offering a prime opportunity for the validation of automotive technologies.
Ice Speed Challenge: ES BEV Sets New Terminal Speed Record for Pure Electric Vehicles
In the most challenging "500-meter standing start" section, the EXEED EXLANTIX ES BEV achieved a truly impressive feat. Under the competition regulations, vehicles are required to complete a single run and return run across the 500-meter stretch, with average speed serving as the ultimate performance indicator. In this thrilling competition, the ES BEV not only averaged over 81km/h but also unleashed a terminal velocity exceeding 187km/h, surpassing last year's terminal speed record of 183km/h set by the Voyah Passion Long Range.
The attainment of this result and this level of performance is a testament to its integrated 353kW dual-motor power system. This meticulously engineered system achieves 0-100km/h acceleration in a mere 3.7 seconds and delivers a continuous 8000N·m of torque at the wheels, maintaining dependable power output even on ice with minimal frictional grip.
To guarantee unwavering handling composure and driver safety in extreme conditions, the ES BEV incorporates an intelligent torque control system capable of real-time road surface analysis and precise torque vectoring across all four wheels. Paired with R21 sport alloy wheels, this system significantly elevates the vehicle's driving dynamics and overall stability. Furthermore, its distinctive wind-riding electric rear spoiler operates in both active and passive modes, not only minimizing aerodynamic drag at high velocities but also generating supplementary downforce as required, thus securing chassis stability during the high-speed 187km/h terminal velocity dash.
Arctic Expedition: ET REEV Sets New Benchmark for Extended-Range Endurance
On the opening day of the competition, the ET REEV tackled the "500-meter standing start" challenge amidst the most brutal weather of the entire Ice Speed Festival, validating the stability of its powertrain system under extreme operational stress by achieving an average speed of 61km/h. In addition, the ET REEV’s front and rear dual-motor configuration, delivering a combined 345kW output and a colossal 7400N·m peak torque, guarantees formidable power delivery and unwavering driving composure even on frigid, low-grip surfaces. Furthermore, its Snow mode—one of seven selectable driving modes—precisely modulates torque distribution between wheels, ensuring optimal grip and enabling seamless navigation of icy landscapes.
In a groundbreaking move for this year's Ice Speed Festival, the ET REEV's performance in the ice range endurance test proved truly revolutionary: starting fully fueled and charged, and equipped with studded tires, the ET REEV navigated the -20°C ice surface for an astounding 15 hours, ultimately covering 822km and establishing a new benchmark in the event's history.
The REEV system’s exceptional fuel-to-electricity efficiency and minimal energy consumption are pivotal to the ET REEV’s extended range capability. Its incorporated 1.5T high-efficiency range extender engine, boasting a class-leading 44.5% thermal efficiency, achieves an industry-best 3.7 kWh electricity generation per liter of fuel. Moreover, this system exhibits remarkable adaptability, intelligently adjusting its operational mode based on real-time demands, whether for short commutes or long journeys, to ensure an optimal balance of comfort and stability for drivers. Beyond this, the REEV system integrates over 50 state-of-the-art energy conservation technologies, further refining the vehicle's overall energy efficiency, allowing the ET REEV to offer a green and eco-conscious transportation solution without compromising high-performance driving.
In anticipation of the ES BEV and ET REEV's imminent Eastern European market entry, these racing accolades not only affirm the technological readiness of the EXLANTIX series but also exemplify the capacity of premium new energy vehicles to conquer environmental extremes. At a pivotal juncture where new energy technology rivalry deepens, EXEED EXLANTIX’s technological advancements within the new energy vehicle domain will not just deliver an exceptional driving experience to consumers, but will also establish a new benchmark for industry standards.
