2025 CHERY OMODA E5 REVIEW AUSTRALIA BX WALKTHROUGH PRICING & SPECS

EV Channels Review

The Chery Omoda E5 BX variant presents a compelling value proposition, particularly when compared to the BYD Atto 3. The reviewer highlights its attractive, classic interior design, which contrasts favorably with the Atto 3's more polarizing style. The infotainment and instrument cluster screens are noted for their high resolution and responsiveness, surpassing those in the BYD. Positives include a competitive price point, a strong warranty (7 years for the vehicle, 8 for the battery), and the use of LFP blade batteries. The reviewer also confirms compatibility with Tesla Superchargers (V3/V4). However, areas for improvement include the trip computer's reset functionality, the lack of EV trip planning in the navigation, and the absence of a charging stop button or scheduler within the car's software. While the adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist show promise, the auto-steer functionality is described as somewhat wavering and requiring constant supervision. The ride is noted as being slightly firmer than the Atto 3, and regenerative braking, while adjustable, is not particularly smooth or fluid.
