Omoda E5 EV Arrives in Pakistan – A New Contender in the Electric SUV Arena
Pakistan’s electric vehicle segment welcomes another major addition with the official launch of the Omoda E5, a compact yet feature-rich electric SUV aimed at modern urban drivers. Introduced through the collaboration between Chery and NextGen Auto, a Nishat Group venture, the Omoda E5 hits the market with strong performance, premium features, and competitive pricing.
This launch closely follows the Jaecoo J7 debut, as Chery ramps up its local presence with a broader portfolio of smart and sustainable vehicles.
Compact Design, Smart Dimensions
The Omoda E5 strikes a balance between sleek aesthetics and urban practicality. Measuring 4,424 mm in length and 1,830 mm in width, it’s compact enough for city navigation while offering ample interior space. LED lighting dominates its exterior—headlights, tail lamps, fog lights, and even sequential turn signals—along with stylish 18-inch alloys, rain-sensing wipers, dual spoilers, and a panoramic sunroof.
Interior Luxury with Everyday Practicality
Step inside, and the E5 surprises with a premium cabin. A dual 12.3-inch screen setup blends the instrument cluster and multimedia system, backed by an 8-speaker Sony audio system with full smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
Both front seats are power-adjustable—ventilated and ergonomically designed—while the dual-zone climate control with a PM2.5 filter ensures clean, comfortable air for all five passengers. Thoughtful amenities like multicolor ambient lighting, a 50W wireless charger, USB-A and USB-C ports, rear vents, and a foldable armrest elevate the comfort.
Electric Power with Real-World Range
Under the hood, the Omoda E5 houses a 150 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, producing 204 horsepower and 340 Nm torque. Paired with a 61 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, the E5 offers an estimated range of up to 430 km WLTP or 505 km NEDC on a full charge.
Drivers can switch between Eco, Normal, and Sport modes, and charging is made convenient via a port discreetly placed in the front grille.
Built with Safety in Mind
The Omoda E5 doesn’t compromise on safety. It’s equipped with:
- Six airbags (front, side, curtain)
- Electronic Stability Control (ESP), ABS, EBD, and Brake Assist
- Multi-Collision Brake system and emergency stop signal
- ISOFIX child seat anchors, seatbelt reminders, and child locks
- Front and rear parking sensors, reverse camera, and a 360° surround view system
Additionally, it offers passive entry and auto-lock, proximity keys, an immobilizer, and burglar alarm for added security.
Pricing and Booking Details
The Omoda E5 FWD variant is priced at Rs. 8,990,000, making it one of the most affordable fully electric SUVs in Pakistan’s market. Bookings are now open with a down payment of Rs. 1,700,000, and deliveries are expected within 2.5 months.
A Strong Step Forward for EV Adoption in Pakistan
With its futuristic design, impressive range, and smart pricing, the Omoda E5 positions itself as a compelling option for Pakistani buyers looking to transition to electric mobility. Backed by Chery’s global innovation and Nishat’s local assembly capabilities, the E5 could very well become a benchmark in the evolving EV segment.
