Auto China 2024: Omoda brings out E5, debuts PHEV SUVs

BEIJING: Omoda has brought out the E5 electric vehicle (EV) at the ongoing Auto China 2024. 

The Omoda 05 is a pure electric crossover based, which debuted earlier in the Philippines via the recently held Manila International Auto Show 2024. 

Omoda’s presentation of the E5 was graced by different political figures including Indonesian President Joko Widodo, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof, and Turkish Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih Kacir.

Spanish President Pedro Sanchez (not present at the event) praised the Omoda E5 earlier this month. 

Globally, the Omoda E5 is powered by a 61-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion phosphate battery that propels the vehicle’s electric motor and controller. The said battery-electric setup can produce some 201 horsepower (hp) with 340 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque. 

In addition the Omoda E5 can offer emissions-free driving of up to 430 kilometers (km) and an acceleration speed — from zero to 100 kilometers per hour (kph) — of 7.6 seconds.

During the opening day of Auto China 2024, Omoda also debuted two new plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) from its sister brand Jaecoo. The two are the J7 PHEV and J8 PHEV.
