First time to your channel was searching for a good comprehensive Omoda E5 review - after having viewed two quite poor ones by other channels. Yours is all I need - comprehensive, clear, succinct, detailed, pertinent and informative. Thank you. I’ve subscribed.

Nice review Hafiz, here In Indonesia this car sells well, even for the non EV. The fastest 0-100 km/h results here is 6.5 seconds, the figure mentioned by Chery was clearly underclaim

A very good presentation, Hafriz ! I agree the Omoda E5 is truly the best value EV in Malaysia at RM147K.

This car is launching in the UK this month, and it'll be Chery's first model here, so it's great to get a decent look at a right hand drive model! Thanks! 👍

in Indonesia, they are willing to offer a lifetime warranty for the battery - just erasing all the worries about the battery issue

Please explain? I have a BYD Atto 3 and a great car it is with many nice features and for the money, it is impressive but it's not a Tesla MY and I accept this. On price, Tesla will go head to head with BYD, SAIC and GWM soon with their Model 2 and that will be the smaller SUV to buy I'm sure.

First time on your channel, well done review. I review motorcycles here in Australia but will review the Omada EV when it eventually gets here and see how it goes with our heat. Thanks again for comprehensive review.

Nice review Hafriz 👍🏼

Nice review as always Hafriz! I’d have like to hear Hafriz’s take of the latest Model Y with his experience of EV and also as an existing EV driver.

as always.. best review! lovin it.. surprisingly the dashboard is the same as my Tiggo 8 Pro hehe.. if got the fund, this will be a mix of feeling to own 2 car, deferent in size and but same dashboard... maybe it's like having a wira sedan n aeroback or satria.. hehe

it's surprisingly affordable (if not the most affordable around) i love the looks it looks slightly different than the ice variant 👏 fun fact ice omoda 5 is now everywhere especially in my area hopefully we're going to see that similar with the omoda e5 😄

Thank you Hafriz. Great review. I currently drive an Atto 3 here in Western Australia. I also had a 2023 Tesla MY RWD but in October, it was destroyed in a serious, not at fault accident. I miss my Tesla so much - except for the awful firm suspension! I like the aspect of the proximity detection to unlock the Chery, something the Tesla had too via bluetooth from my phone or Apple Watch. The Atto 3 unlocking procedure via the BYD App is a huge let down for me and as you said, a very dated attempt by BYD to do something simple. Why the PIN is required within the App I have no idea. Anyway, look forward to your next review mate. Thanks again.

GJ team! 2 questions remained tho Does it have proper under car coverings or are the batteries just stuck under the car with no separation like in most PHEVs? And r the breaks just tricky or dangerously bad? Tysm!

Yes, I have budget. Good review.

This is so good

@paultan Does it have one pedal mode? I test drive only to find it does creep like auto box. Chery should include one pedal mode as an option in the software.

Quick question, the omoda is considered a b-segment car compared to the c-segment atto 3 right? I believe it compares more with the dolphin? (despite dolphin not being an SUV)

I love the color.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

multilink rear suspension! compared to torsion beam on the ICE version

very good detailed review. you have the eye of a detective. but i'm curious, you mentioned the issue with the brakes. it sounds like a serious drawback if your occupants are at risk of nausea with every trip due to the abrupt braking. i'm in the market for an EV (in indonesia) and was seriously looking at this one but that sounds like a dealbreaker. it would think such a major issue deserved repeating/reemphasizing when you summarized your opinion of the car.

Next2 ambil view mlm utk tunjuk lampu depan n back…. Tq

Im sure BYD Atto price will go down very soon

My first impression this look better than ICE Omoda. The wheels itself look more realistic than the other one. I don’t like red in the wheels plus too much red in the ICE Omoda.

The plus minus button on the cluster screen is actually for different volume control than those on the steering wheel. Those in the cluster is to control the volume of the warning system such as turn signal among others. How's the battery warranty of the E5 in Malaysia? As in Indonesia, Chery offers lifetime warranty for the battery and motor for the first 2000 customer. That's a good deal breaker.

@hafrizshah4937

3 ай бұрын

The side volume buttons controlled the main audio volume on this particular car - perhaps it was wrongly configured. For Malaysia we are getting an 8-year/160k km warranty for the battery, with a 1-to-1 replacement if SoH drops below 70%.

Why the red color option doesn't available? Such a dealbreaker

As a pioneer of using hybrid and phev in malaysia, the cost of battery replacement is worrying to the degree its more expensive to replace the battery and incurring loss to the selling price of the car. I think if a user wanna use a car for more than 8 years, avoid ev. Just get regular ice car. Ev cars are cheaper at first. But replacing the battery, its a whole new story. Paultan should cover the story of battery replacement in ev, phev or hybrid.

Why would you replace the battery? This is the BYD LFP 'Blade' battery, not some old tech battery as used on early Nissan Leafs or similar. The batteries come with a very long warranty anyway. Please don't make the same mistake as so many others in not buying an EV - with a LFP battery - for fear that the battery will degrade and need to be replaced which is part of the anti EV rhetoric. Just get an EV and enjoy a new way of transportation that will put a smile on your face every time you're behind the wheel!

Of course we are not opposing change to so called reduced CO2 but the West produced the most CO2 and most them don't have forest anymore. I still cling to petrol/diesel driven vehicles.
