    Safety

    The Chery Omoda E5 is yet to receive a safety rating from ANCAP or its European counterpart Euro NCAP.

    However, Chery Australia Chief Operating Officer Lucas Harris recently told Australian media that “this car doesn’t yet have an ANCAP rating, but that’s right around the corner.”

    “It’s reasonable to assume the rating will continue our current trend with the cars that we’ve launched so far,” he said.
