2024 Chery Omoda E5: Specifications confirmed

Chery Australia has confirmed the specifications for its electrified Omoda E5, but pricing is still to be determined.

Chery’s first-ever all-electric vehicle will be available in two variants: a base-spec BX and a top-spec EX. However, even the entry-level model departs showrooms with a generous level of equipment including dual 12.3-inch screens, 18-inch alloy wheels, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 50W wireless phone charger.

The EX then adds an eight-speaker Sony sound system, a powered sunroof, black synthetic leather seats (heated front and rear), and ambient lighting – plus plenty more listed here 👇

Both the BX and EX are powered by a 150kW/340Nm single electric motor that drives the front wheels. The E5 has a range of up to 430km; can be charged from 30 to 80 per cent in less than 30 minutes via a DC fast charger; and has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 7.6 seconds. The E5 will also come with a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including adaptive cruise control (ACC), autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and lane keeping assistance (LKA).

"We're thrilled to introduce our first electric vehicle, a testament to our commitment to innovation and sustainability,” said Lewis Lu, CEO of Chery Australia. “We're proud to offer a vehicle that not only delivers outstanding performance and range but also helps reduce our carbon footprint. This launch is a significant milestone in our journey towards a greener and more sustainable future," he added.

Chery backs its E5 with a generous seven-year / unlimited kilometre warranty, as well as seven years of capped price servicing and up to seven years of roadside assistance. The battery is covered by an eight-year / unlimited kilometre warranty.

Pricing will be revealed closer to the vehicle’s launch in September this year, where it will debut alongside the petrol-powered Omoda 5, TIGGO 7 Pro and TIGGO 8 Pro Max.
