Range, Battery, and Charging of the Omoda E5:

  • A 61 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery gives 430 km of WLTP range, with rated consumption of 15.9 kWh/100 km.
  • DC fast charging peaks at 130 kW, and Omoda Germany quotes 34 minutes from 10% to 80%, while the original version charged at up to 80 kW.
  • The onboard AC charger accepts up to 11 kW on three-phase power in Europe, and a full charge from empty on a typical 7.2 kW Level 2 home charger takes an estimated 9 hours 25 minutes.
  • German cars come with a heat pump and vehicle-to-load (V2L) output of up to 3.3 kW for powering devices.

Powertrain and Performance of the Omoda E5:

  • A single 155 kW motor drives the front wheels and makes 288 Nm of torque.
  • Omoda Germany quotes 0 to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 171 km/h.
  • German cars have independent rear suspension, which gives a firmer, more European feel than the petrol Omoda 5.

Frequently Asked Questions

Possibly, but it isn't sold in Canada yet. Chery's Omoda and Jaecoo brands have a Canadian website that said "coming late 2026", and in October 2026 a Chery vice-president told Reuters the company is now preparing a Canadian launch for early 2027. Chery hasn't confirmed which models will come or their Canadian specs. Our guide to Chinese EVs in Canada tracks which brands and models are expected.
Not federally if Canadian versions are built in China, because EVAP excludes China-built vehicles, and Manitoba's rebate excludes China-made EVs bought after March 19, 2025. Quebec's Roulez vert, the only other provincial purchase rebate, ends on December 31, 2026, before the early-2027 launch Chery has said it's preparing.
The updated European E5 charges at up to 130 kW on a DC fast charger, and Omoda Germany quotes 34 minutes from 10% to 80%. The onboard AC charger accepts up to 11 kW on three-phase power in Europe, but Canadian homes use single-phase power, so a full charge from empty on a typical 7.2 kW Level 2 home charger takes an estimated 9 hours 25 minutes. Omoda hasn't confirmed charging specs for Canada. To plan home charging, try the EV charging cost calculator.
The updated European version is rated at 430 km on the WLTP cycle, with rated consumption of 15.9 kWh/100 km. Real-world range is close to the official figure around town but noticeably lower at highway speeds. Cold weather reduces the range of any EV, so expect less in a Canadian winter, although German cars come with a heat pump to help.
European versions use a 61 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, and German cars add vehicle-to-load (V2L) output of up to 3.3 kW. In Germany, Omoda covers the car for seven years or 150,000 km and the battery and electric drive for eight years or 160,000 km. Canadian warranty terms haven't been announced.
The E5 is 4,424 mm long, 1,830 mm wide and 1,588 mm tall, on a 2,630 mm wheelbase, and it seats five. Cargo space is 370 L with the rear seats up and 1,149 L with them folded, plus a small front trunk. Test cars in Australia, the UK and Europe carried a full-size spare wheel under the cargo floor, but Omoda hasn't confirmed Canadian equipment. The rear seat is tighter than in the BYD Atto 3, with headroom limited by the sloping roof.
Yes. A single 155 kW front motor with 288 Nm of torque gives a quoted 0 to 100 km/h time of 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 171 km/h. It's brisk and smooth, though the throttle and regenerative braking are abrupt, and none of its three regen levels allows true one-pedal driving.
Euro NCAP extended the Omoda 5's five-star rating from 2022 to the electric E5 in November 2024, after extra crash tests on the original version. German cars come with seven airbags, including a front-centre airbag, plus automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring and a surround-view camera. The lane-keeping and warning chimes can be intrusive, and there are no North American crash-test ratings yet.
The original E5, launched in the UK and Australia in 2024, charged at up to 80 kW on a DC fast charger, and most of the reviews you'll find are of that car. The updated version raises peak DC charging to 130 kW, and in Germany it comes as a single, well-equipped trim with a heat pump. Check which version a review or listing describes before comparing figures.
Both come from Chery's Omoda and Jaecoo brands and use the same 155 kW front motor with 288 Nm, an LFP battery of about 61 kWh, and 130 kW peak DC charging, with 34 minutes from 10% to 80% quoted for each in Germany. The E5 is longer (4,424 mm vs 4,380 mm), quicker from 0 to 100 km/h (7.2 vs 7.7 seconds) and goes further on the WLTP cycle (430 km vs 402 km), while the J5 EV has slightly more cargo space (384 L vs 370 L). Neither is sold in Canada yet, and all figures are for European versions.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

German cars come in one well-equipped trim with a heat pump, heated and ventilated front seats, a power tailgate, a 50 W cooled wireless charger and two 12.3-inch screens, a generous list for the class.
Test cars in Australia, the UK and Europe carried a full-size spare under the cargo floor, which few EVs offer.
Soft-touch surfaces, metal-finish switchgear, ambient lighting and Sony audio make the cabin feel a step above its class.
With 155 kW and 288 Nm driving the front wheels, Omoda quotes 0 to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds, and the E5 is quick and smooth when pulling away and passing.
The E5 feels firmer and more European than the petrol Omoda 5, helped by the independent rear suspension fitted in Europe and Australia.
DC fast charging now peaks at 130 kW, up from 80 kW on the original car, and Omoda Germany quotes 34 minutes from 10% to 80%.
The cabin is quiet and the motor refined, and energy use in town can come close to the official figure.

Cons:

The lane-keeping assist is too eager and the warning chimes frequent, and some settings reset each time the car is started.
None of the three regenerative braking levels brings the car to a stop, and the throttle and regen response are abrupt.
Too many functions are buried in the touchscreen, with no home button to get back quickly.
The sloping roof limits rear headroom and the view out the back, and there's less rear and cargo space than in the BYD Atto 3, with 370 L behind the rear seats.
The charging port sits at the front of the car, which is awkward when reversing into a parking spot at home or at a public charger.
