E5

The Omoda E5 is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £33,055. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.6 seconds, slower than 66% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 205 miles (330 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 25% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 197th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.5 mi/kWh (178 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 58.9 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 80 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 217 miles (350 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £161 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £15,700–£17,700 and a 2025 one at £18,800–£21,500, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 197 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
