RM 146,800! Chery's new car for 2024: OMODA E5!

AshleyJul 18, 2024, 10:54 AM

As a Chinese car brand, Chery entered the Malaysian market as early as in the beginning of 2004, but at that time the Southeast Asian market was almost completely monopolized by Japanese cars, which was difficult for Chery to gain a foothold. However, Chery today is not the same as it used to be. Although it occasionally gets involved in car quality issues, this does not prevent us from discussing the new model launched by Chery this year: Chery OMODA E5. I believe through the whole text, you will have a deeper understanding of this model.

Currently there is only one model of Chery OMODA E5 available in the Malaysian market, priced at RM 146,800. For consumers, the choices are quite limited, so it is more necessary to describe this model in detail to help consumers understand this model. Regarding after-sales service, Chery offers consumers a warranty of 7 years and 150,000km (whichever comes first), which is quite sincere in the market. Despite such a sincere after-sales guarantee, consumers are still skeptical because of previous car quality problems.

2024 Chery OMODA E5: RM 146,800

The Chery OMODA E5 model is 4424mm long, 1830mm wide, 1588mm high, with a wheelbase of 2630mm and a trunk volume of 483L. For an SUV model, this trunk capacity is standard and can meet consumers' basic storage needs. The car offers five seats, which can accommodate the members of a typical small family, and it is a five-door version.

In terms of exterior design, the philosophy is electrified art, which aims to explore the world where art and electrification innovation blend. Every curve, every electrical device, and detail has been carefully designed to stimulate the senses and showcase personality.

On the front face, the car incorporates a futuristic design that perfectly combines minimalist design concepts with elements of the future. For the car body, the lines are overall smooth and wonderful, with a unique design of electric cars. At the rear, the dazzling tail lights not only provide safety with a "reminder function" but also offer a unique visual impression.

The interior of the Chery OMODA E5 includes a panoramic sunroof, giving both the driver and passengers a view of the sky. The wide windows allow sunlight to directly enter the car, thus enhancing interaction with nature during the driving process.

In the cockpit, this model omits many mechanical control components, including the joystick common in gasoline cars, instead of a number of buttons to control the vehicle and a large screen in front of the steering wheel to provide the driver with vehicle information and navigation information during the driving process. This might not be very friendly to consumers who prefer mechanical buttons as it requires a time cost to learn new things, yet why not embracing and trying out the new experience with the development of technology?

In terms of power, the pure electric range of the Chery OMODA E5 is 430km, and the battery uses a lithium iron phosphate battery. The warranty policy is 8 years and 160,000km (whichever comes first). Overall, the battery warranty policy is better than the whole vehicle, so consumers can rest assured about the battery guarantee. In terms of explosive power, the top speed of the car is 172km/h, the zero to hundred acceleration time is 7.2s, the overall performance is standard, suitable for use as a family SUV.

Through the description in this article, I believe you have an initial understanding of this model. Next, I suggest you go directly to the 4s shop to test drive this model. This way, you can have a more real feeling of the effects and impacts behind the numbers. So, would you consider buying this car model?

This change marks a transition for Malaysia's electric vehicle market from a policy-driven phase to a new stage of market-oriented development, bringing new considerations for both consumers and the industry.
