Chery Omoda E5 vs Peugeot 2008
Verdict
The Chery Omoda E5 makes the bigger change to daily use: a 61.0 kWh battery, 430 km WLTP range and a 201 hp front motor give it proper EV pace, including 0-100 km/h in 7.2 seconds. The Peugeot 2008 stays petrol, with a 1,199 cc engine, 4.5 L/100 km economy and a 41-litre tank. It is also a touch more practical on paper, with 405 litres of boot space against 378 litres. Both are CKD, front-wheel-drive, five-seat B-SUVs with six airbags and AEB.
Pick the Chery Omoda E5 if you want the electric option, 430 km range, 201 hp and a longer 7-year warranty.
Pick the Peugeot 2008 if you want the cheaper petrol SUV, the bigger 405-litre boot and the higher 199 km/h top speed.
