Ahead of the local launch of the Chery Omoda E5 next month, we’re bringing you a full gallery of the EV version of the Omoda 5 in your viewing pleasure. While previous units of the Omoda E5 we covered were pre-production cars, the one you see here is in the precise specification that Malaysians will get.
First up, the powertrain includes a front-mounted electric motor rated at 204 PS (201 hp or 150 kW) and 340 Nm of torque, which is sweet for a 0-100 km/h time of seven.6 seconds. Powering the motor is a Blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with an energy capability of 61 kWh.
Chery claims an influence consumption of 14.5 kWh/100 km, with a full charge delivering as much as 430 km of range following the WLTP standard. The Omoda E5 supports AC charging at a max of 9.9 kW in addition to DC fast charging of as much as 80 kW, the latter able to getting the battery from a 30-80% state of charge in only half-hour. There’s also a vehicle-to-load (V2L) system that permits the EV to act like a mobile power bank, delivering as much as 3.3 kW to power electrical appliances and devices.
The Omoda E5 comes equipped with an lively grille shutter that opens and closes depending on the motor temperature and aerodynamic requirements. It also has one-pedal driving support, a creep function and something called pocket brake, which prompts emergency braking when the ‘Park’ button is pressed while driving.
Equipment seen on this Omoda E5 include LED projector headlamps, 18-inch alloy wheels, a powered sunroof, a powered tailgate, puddle lamps, selectable drive modes, leather upholstery, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control (with rear vents) in addition to a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The infotainment system is powered by a Qualcomm 8155 system on chip (SoC) and includes support for each Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
When it comes to driver assistance systems, there’s a 360-degree camera, automatic high beam, lead vehicle departure alert, front collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and prevention, lane keep assist, rear cross traffic alert and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
Registrations of interest for the Omoda E5 have been open since December last 12 months but there’s still no word on official pricing. At present, the petrol-powered Omoda 5 retails from RM108,800 to RM118,800, and we’re expecting the EV to have a better sticker price. If the worth gap between the EV and ICE versions isn’t that wide, the Omoda E5 would compete against the BYD Atto 3 Prolonged Range that goes for RM167,800.
