2025 Chery E5 price and specs

Chery’s first and thus far only electric vehicle (EV) in Australia now has a slightly different name.

The Chery Omoda E5 small electric SUV has become the Chery E5, with the Omoda lettering on its front and rear ends and steering wheel replaced with Chery lettering.

That’s because Chery will launch the Omoda brand in its own right in Australia during the second half of 2025. While the Chery C5 (formerly the Chery Omoda 5) and E5 are sold under this brand in other markets, they won’t be here.

The E5 Urban (formerly the Omoda E5 BX) is now priced from $36,990 before on-road costs, matching the promotional pricing available for its predecessor since early this year. That’s a whopping $6000 less than when that model was released late last year.

The E5 Ultimate (formerly the Omoda E5 EX) is now priced at $40,990 before on-roads, which is $1000 more than the promotional pricing introduced earlier this year but $5000 less than at launch.

The spec list for the E5 is essentially unchanged from the Omoda E5, with a couple of exceptions.

“Based on a global realignment, the only amends are the removal of navigation in the EX/BX models, and puddle lamps in EX,” said a Chery Australia spokesperson.

“Both models continue to have Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for navigation requirements.”

The Chery E5 is on sale now.
