OMODA E5: Chery’s All-Electric SUV Goes Global

The OMODA E5, a fully electric SUV under Chery’s young and dynamic OMODA brand, is rapidly gaining recognition across Southeast Asia and beyond. Launched in Malaysia and slated for introduction in other markets including Taiwan by the end of the year, the E5 showcases how Chinese-made electric vehicles are becoming increasingly competitive on the global stage.

A New Chapter for OMODA — All-Electric Mobility

The OMODA E5 is positioned as a compact electric SUV that builds on the success of its gasoline-powered sibling, the OMODA 5, while introducing a clean-energy driving experience. With a modern exterior that blends style and aerodynamics, the E5 stands out with its closed front panel and sleek EV-specific design cues that differ from traditional combustion models.

Electric Performance and Efficiency

Powering the E5 is a 61 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, paired with a single front-wheel-drive electric motor. Key performance figures include:

• Maximum range ~430 km (WLTP) on a single charge, suitable for daily commuting and longer trips alike.

• Fast DC charging up to 80 kW, allowing a charge from 30% to 80% in approximately 28–30 minutes.

• A propulsive output of around 201 hp and 340 Nm of torque, providing confident acceleration and responsive urban performance.

The E5 also incorporates low energy consumption — approximately 15.5 kWh/100 km — contributing to operational cost savings and efficiency.

Advanced Features and Technology

Inside, the OMODA E5 blends technology and comfort:

• Dual 12.3-inch digital screens for driver display and infotainment.

• Full connectivity with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

• Comfortable cabin with premium touches such as electric seats and ambient lighting.

Some markets feature the V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) function, allowing the vehicle’s battery to power external devices — ideal for travel or outdoor use.

Warranty and Ownership Benefits

In Malaysia, the non-proprietary warranty package for the E5 is highly competitive:

• 7-year / 150,000 km vehicle warranty

• 8-year / 160,000 km battery and drive unit warranty

• Battery one-to-one replacement if state of health drops below 70% during warranty

These comprehensive warranty terms reflect Chery’s confidence in the E5’s quality and long-term reliability.

Global Launches and Market Expansion

After debuting in Malaysia, the OMODA E5 has also been launched in Indonesia and is scheduled to enter Taiwan’s EV market by the end of the year — signaling Chery’s broader global EV strategy.

The E5 is expected to challenge established EV rivals in multiple markets. For example, in Australia it has been reported as a competitor to models like the BYD Atto 3, targeting the affordable electric SUV segment with its compelling range and pricing strategy.

 Conclusion

The OMODA E5 represents Chery’s growing confidence in electrification and global competitiveness. With its balanced combination of range, performance, comfort, and smart features, the E5 is well positioned to attract value-oriented EV buyers across Asia and beyond. As the model rolls out into new markets later this year, it signals a new chapter for Chinese brands in the global EV landscape.
