Verdict
The Chery Omoda E5 costs RM146,800, while the Zeekr X is RM12,000 dearer at RM158,800. That gap brings a 335 hp, 373 Nm rear motor, a 66 kWh battery and 200 kW DC charging in the Zeekr, against 201 hp, 340 Nm, 61 kWh and 80 kW for the Chery. The Zeekr is also quicker by 1.9 seconds to 100 km/h and has a 120 mm longer wheelbase. But the Omoda E5 is close on claimed range at 430 km versus 440 km, costs RM235 less in annual road tax, and carries a longer seven-year vehicle warranty.
Pick the Chery Omoda E5 if lower upfront and annual costs, 430 km of claimed range and a seven-year vehicle warranty matter more than outright performance and rapid DC charging.
Pick the Zeekr X if you want 335 hp performance, 200 kW DC charging, a larger 404-litre boot and its longer 2,750 mm wheelbase.
