Overview
About the Chery Omoda E5
The Omoda E5 is Chery's calling card for Canada: a sharply styled compact electric crossover that aims squarely at the Kona Electric and Niro EV on price. Its 61 kWh NMC battery delivers 414 km of WLTP range — comfortably enough for a week of urban commuting — while the 150 kW motor gives brisk, confident acceleration (0-100 km/h in 7.6 seconds). Inside, dual 12.3-inch screens and a clean, modern cockpit feel a class above the estimated $35,000 CAD price point. Chery is one of China's largest automakers and its export operation is battle-tested across Europe, South America and Australia, where the E5 has sold strongly. The compromises: DC charging tops out at 80 kW, so highway trips need patience, and the brand has zero Canadian presence today — dealer, service and parts networks would be built from scratch. As an affordable, well-equipped city crossover, though, the value case is hard to ignore.
Editorial take
Our Verdict
Strengths
- 414 km WLTP range and dual 12.3" screens at an estimated $35,000
- Chery's export machine is proven — strong E5 sales in Australia and Europe
- Modern cabin that feels a class above its price
Watch Out For
- 80 kW DC charging is slow for road trips — plan longer highway stops
- No Canadian dealer or service network yet — everything starts from zero

What this means for Canada
Two market versions exist and they are not equivalent: the European car charges at 130 kW DC and has vehicle-to-load and ventilated seats, the Australian car is capped at 80 kW DC with neither. We list the Australian specification, the more conservative of the two. Chery does not list a heat pump on the Australian car — a real question mark for winter range here.
