Ahead of the local launch of the Chery Omoda E5 next month, we’re bringing you a full gallery of the EV version of the Omoda 5 for your viewing pleasure. While previous units of the Omoda E5 we covered were pre-production cars, the one you see here is in the exact specification that Malaysians will get.
First up, the powertrain features a front-mounted electric motor rated at 204 PS (201 hp or 150 kW) and 340 Nm of torque, which is good for a 0-100 km/h time of 7.6 seconds. Powering the motor is a Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with an energy capacity of 61 kWh.
Chery claims a power consumption of 14.5 kWh/100 km, with a full charge delivering as much as 430 km of range following the WLTP standard. The Omoda E5 supports AC charging at a max of 9.9 kW as well as DC fast charging of up to 80 kW, the latter capable of getting the battery from a 30-80% state of charge in just 30 minutes. There’s also a vehicle-to-load (V2L) system that allows the EV to act like a mobile power bank, delivering up to 3.3 kW to power electrical appliances and devices.
The Omoda E5 comes equipped with an active grille shutter that opens and closes depending on the motor temperature and aerodynamic requirements. It also has one-pedal driving support, a creep function and something called pocket brake, which activates emergency braking when the ‘Park’ button is pressed while driving.
Equipment seen on this Omoda E5 include LED projector headlamps, 18-inch alloy wheels, a powered sunroof, a powered tailgate, puddle lamps, selectable drive modes, leather upholstery, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control (with rear vents) as well as a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The infotainment system is powered by a Qualcomm 8155 system on chip (SoC) and includes support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
In terms of driver assistance systems, there’s a 360-degree camera, automatic high beam, lead vehicle departure alert, front collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and prevention, lane keep assist, rear cross traffic alert and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Registrations of interest for the Omoda E5 have been open since December last year but there’s still no word on official pricing. At present, the petrol-powered Omoda 5 retails from RM108,800 to RM118,800, and we’re expecting the EV to have a higher sticker price. If the price gap between the EV and ICE versions isn’t that wide, the Omoda E5 would compete against the BYD Atto 3 Extended Range that goes for RM167,800.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This is so much better than BYD Atto3~
Kudos to this automaker company thats literally went through “salt fish turnover life”
Tell us why we still need Proton.
Because Proton = Geely since Geely will not ever be sold here from Thailand all the way down south to Australia + NZ no official Geely.
Should have been 11kW AC charging instead of that slow 9.9kW lah
RM120k.
As the song goes….
Chery, Chery lady
Like there’s no tomorrow
Take my heart, don’t lose it
Listen to your heart
Nice
Advanced of O5
Wow! Handsome ni
There’s an ACC in the title but not mention in the article. Is it support LSF?
compared to plain ugly BYD Atto3 with the terrible blade battery, this is a much more good-looking car and Cherry has been car maker for decades and fully turned around. good work. experienced OEM
Hahaha… This Cherry also uses Blade battery lah.. Anyway there is nothing wrong with the blade. BYD is No. 1 in the world in EVs for a reason. Cherry is No 6 in China.
This will be a good alternative to gimmicky BYD (bei yan diu). BYD atto 3 interior is just horrendous as compare to this. No stupid guitar strings and cheap plastic door handle. This has better interior layout similar to conti style.
BEWARE! This is just a rebadged byd car. I know coz worked in China before
So what’s wrong with BYD Atto3?
So what’s wrong with BYD Atto3?
china product cannot be so overpriced
are you aware that Malaysia has prohibited the import of electric vehicles priced below RM100k?
Sure or not got one pedal mode. Seen indonesian review the car, no one pedal mode. Also better if chery give it black interior option like AU/NZ market.
