Chery’s first all-electric vehicle in Australia – the Omoda E5 SUV – will hit showrooms this month, priced to compete against rivals from MG, BYD and GWM.
UPDATE, 9/9/24 – We’ve updated this article with service intervals and pricing for the Omoda E5 range.
The new Omoda E5 will start from $42,990 before on-road costs for the base BX, $1000 more expensive than the MG 4 Excite 64.
At the top of the range, the E5 EX will set you back $45,990 before on-roads, making it more expensive than a base BYD Atto 3 and MG 4 Essence, but cheaper than an Atto 3 Extended Range.
