Chery Australia has officially confirmed pricing for its Omoda E5, with the entry-level BX starting at $42,990 and the top-spec EX starting at $45,990.
Despite its entry-level status, the BX is highly equipped with premium kit including dual 12.3-inch screens, 18-inch alloy wheels, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless phone charger, and a full-size spare. For an extra $3000 the EX adds two extra speakers, synthetic leather pews (heated), a powered sunroof, and a 360-degree camera.
Both E5 models are powered by a front-wheel-driven single electric motor that generates 150kW and 340Nm. Chery quotes power consumption of 155Wh/km and states the EV has a range limit of up to 430km. It can be charged from 30 to 80 per cent in less than 30 minutes when using a DC fast charger
