Chery Omoda E5 2025 review: Is this new Chinese electric car better than the MG ZS EV small SUV?
The 2025 Chery Omoda E5 is looking to put the emerging Chinese car brand on the fully electric map in Australia’s ever-expanding small SUV segment. As its name suggests, the Omoda E5 is based on the internal-combustion Omoda 5, so it has familiar underpinnings that have already appealed to so many buyers.
That said, the Omoda E5 stands out with its zero-emissions powertrain, which is headlined by a 150kW/340Nm front-mounted electric motor and a 61kWh lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) battery that delivers a driving range of up to 430km and can accepted a maximum DC charge rate of 80kW for a 30 to 80 per cent charge in 30 minutes.
In this expert review, CarsGuide Deputy Editor James Cleary gets behind the wheel of the Omoda E5 at its national media launch, to find out how well it stacks up against the likes of the well-established MG ZS EV, among others.
