The automotive industry is facing a once-in-a-lifetime transformation. With the focus now shifting towards electrification, some upstarts are looking at this as an opportunity to upend the status quo. One such brand that wants to capitalize on this opportunity is Weltmeister.
Understated as the W5 is on the outside, it does push some degree of tech inside. Front and center is a 15.6-inch floating-style, portrait-oriented touchscreen. The driver also gets full digital instrumentation. At the center console, in place of the traditional shifter, is a rotary dial which also serves as the on/off switch, and some haptic shortcut buttons.
As a driving machine, the W5 is largely competent. With a 52-kwh battery placed underneath, it is portly—curb weight is pegged at 1,809 kilograms. Yet, trust the 217 horsepower, 315 Nm of torque electric motor to provide sufficient pull. Gun the accelerator, and it makes short work of all that weight. Now, being essentially a “computer with four wheels,” the driver can select one of two drive modes and one of two regen levels too. However, it’s confusing to use.
