2025 Chery Omoda E5: Full Australian details
Chinese brand's first EV to come loaded with kit and gets a range of up to 430kmThe all-electric 2025 Chery Omoda E5 will hit Australian showrooms this September when it will be offered in two model grades and be backed by a seven-year unlimited-kilometre warranty.
Pricing has yet to be locked in, but it's thought the Chery Omoda E5 small SUV will cost less than $50,000 when it arrives here, with the range-topping Omoda E5 EX set to be priced at around $55,000.
That means that Chery Australia's first EV will command a premium over rivals like the BYD Atto 3 (from $44,490) and the MG ZS EV (from $41,195) when it arrives in a few months' time.
When it lands in Aussie dealerships the Chery Omoda E5 will feature a single-motor drivetrain outputting 150kW/340Nm and powered by a 61kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
The combination yields a 430km WLTP cruising range and a brisk 7.6-second 0-100km/h acceleration time. The Chery EV can also tow up to 750kg.
Chery hasn't revealed at what rate the Omoda E5's battery can be charged at but claims a 30-80 per cent top-up takes around 30 minutes.
The base Omoda E5 EX gets dual-12.3-inch screens, 18-inch alloy wheels, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, six-speaker Sony sound system, LED lamps, half-faux leather seats and a full-size spare wheel.
The more expensive Omoda E5 EX, meanwhile, adds an eight-speaker Sony sound system, puddle lamps, ambient interior lighting, heated (front and rear) black synthetic leather seats, a 360-degree camera and a sunroof.
Both variants comes with 7 airbags, plus up to 18 driver assist aids, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and the car brand's latest AEB.
Differing from the Chery Omoda 5, the E5 gets its own grille (that hides its CCS2 charging port), gets unique 18-inch wheels, LED head and tail lamps that include daylight running lamps, plus a roof and boot lid spoiler that's designed to reduce drag.
Offered in five different colours which includes Titan Green, Lunar White, Saturn Silver, Space Black and Martian Red, a contrasting black roof can be added on EX models on green or white cars.
When it arrives, the Omoda E5 will be covered by a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty that gets an eight-year/unlimited-kilometre protection for the battery. There's also seven years of capped-priced servicing and a further seven years of road-side assistance.
Despite prices being released later, interested customers can now pre-order the Chery Omoda E5 on the brand's website.
"We're thrilled to introduce our first electric vehicle, a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability. We're proud to offer a vehicle that not only delivers outstanding performance and range but also helps reduce our carbon footprint," said Lewis Lu, CEO of Chery Australia.
