Well, we now have some info about the Omoda 5 EV after attending the Omoda and Jaecoo brand event at Chery’s headquarters in Wuhu. O&J are sub-brands of the Chery Group, deployed in markets where Chery is already present in the mainstream space. Omoda is aimed at youth, while the new Jaecoo sub-brand caters to more sophisticated types. We’ll be getting the Omoda 5 with Chery logos, but some markets get Omoda badges instead.
We now know that the Omoda 5 EV has a 61 kWh battery powering a 221 hp motor. The 0-100 km/h sprint is done in 7.8 seconds, and Chery claims power efficiency of 15 kWh per 100 km. As for DC fast charging, Chery quotes 35 minutes to get from 0-80% SOC. Claimed range is 450 km per full charge, but we don’t know if that’s in NEDC or WLTP – Chinese brands usually quote the former, an older cycle that gives bigger numbers.
