Verdict
The Omoda E5 is straightforward. Its 61 kWh BYD-sourced LFP battery gives 430 km WLTP range, and its front motor makes 201 hp. It is not the cheapest electric SUV in the class, because the Perodua QV-E starts at RM80,000. Against the Honda e:N1 from RM149,900, the Chery costs slightly less. The 7.2-second 0-100 km/h claim and five-star Euro NCAP/ANCAP results give it useful showroom strength.
