Yup. They either buck up themselves or risk being favoured over

The Chery Omoda E5 was only launched on Wednesday, but Chery Malaysia is wasting no time offering several promotions for its new electric SUV. The company is touting “savings” worth up to RM11,000 on the car, which is already attractively priced at RM146,800 on-the-road without insurance.

It’s not a straight discount, however – instead, the first 2,000 bookings will include a package that consists of a free wallbox charger worth RM3,500, a free vehicle-to-load (V2L) adapter worth RM500 and RM1,000 in charging credits via the JomCharge app. The latter can be used at any of the 474 EV Connection (EVC) chargers nationwide, including from JomCharge and roaming partners Gentari and ChargEV.

Buyers will also receive an exclusive 2.08% interest rate from Maybank, which Chery Malaysia values at RM6,000. We should point out, however, that many banks are currently offering low interest rates for EV hire purchase loans anyway as part of their green initiatives, so Maybank’s offer isn’t particularly low.

These offers go on top of Chery’s noteworthy warranty coverage, which includes a seven-year/150,000 km general warranty and an eight-year/160,000 km battery and drive unit warranty. What’s more, if the battery capacity falls below 70% while the car is under warranty, Chery will offer a one-to-one battery replacement, no questions asked. There’s also complimentary charging at all Chery dealerships.

Interior memang top notch...modern and reasonable for that price....

Buy would you buy one if pink? LOL

I tried the interior....way better than atto 3 which look like toy. The screen resolution looks better than BYD though and the negative part, it's the rear seat legroom space. A bit tight but for the price if compare between cross and HRV, this take the cake.

Orange will be fun

I think there is no contest when it comes to interior. As for rear legroom perhaps E5 is helped by being EV, it does have an advantage over HRV and Corolla Cross as it will have a flatter rear floors?

Incidentally wheelbase wise E5 is 2630 mm, Cross is 2640 mm while HRV is 2610 mm

At 140k+ pricing level, price wise it is very close fight between these 3 at the top range but I personally favour E5 on one thing : the rear multi link suspension.

God Lord, seriously?

Is the suspension a bit soft when navigating through potholes ?

Eat your heart out . Your Price guess works suck.

Would it be `unfair" to peg this against Smart#1?

DSF just did, so let me see how they compare.....

https://www.carbase.my/car-comparison?id=W9...m1xm,VQbK00mDlC,

E5 doesn't start an EV price war. Its 146k is just a logical extension of ICE 5's 108k/118k. In fact it is rather pricey (30k more) compares to its ICE siblings.
Same goes to MG4, where the 104k is about 15k more than the established ICE of Yaris/CH.

They seem cheap mainly due to other EV sellers wanted to make insane margins, Sime Darby GWM included

It did not start it but it is playing the game other started. Everyone playing it now

Answer to the question " is this a contender or a pretender?"

Put your hope up Aussies, it is cheaper here in Malaysia than BYD Atto3 so hope it will be too for you guys down under
