The model
Read full Omoda E5 reviewThe Omoda E5 is a difficult car to recommend. It has some positive attributes, including a smart interior, a decent range and a generous kit list, but falls short of nearly all its electric SUV rivals in most other key areas. The Kia EV3 is similarly priced yet better to drive, quicker to charge and more practical.
The trim
See full equipmentComfort is the entry-level trim and offers loads of kit for the money. It comes with adaptive cruise control, part-leather upholstery, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and heated and electrically adjustable front seats as standard.
The engine
See full engine specsThe E5 is powered by a 201bhp electric motor that delivers a 0-62mph time of 7.6 seconds, while a 61kWh (usable) battery gives an official range of 257 miles.
