Chery Malaysia now offers the Chery Omoda E5 electric SUV for slightly less than RM120,000. The new offer came just in time for the upcoming Raya holidays and also marked the 1st anniversary of the EV’s release in Malaysia.
Specifically, you can now get your hands on the Omoda E5 for RM119,800. When it was launched in our market last year, the EV was priced at RM146,800 not inclusive of insurance which means you are looking at a saving of RM27,000.
Aside from the lower price tag, customers will also be provided with a free AC home charger and a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) cable as well as free EV charging credit worth RM1,000. However, do note that this offer only applies to units manufactured in 2024.
The EV is available in Aqua Green, Khaki White, Dark Black, and Phantom Grey while you can opt for either Blue-Beige or Black colourway for its interior. You can also choose to have a black roof with the EV for an additional RM2,000 although this option is limited to units with Aqua Green and Khaki White colourways.
Just like when it was first launched in Malaysia, the Omoda E5 continues to be protected by a 7-year / 150,000km vehicle warranty. The EV’s high voltage battery has a separate 8-year / 160,000km and customers can obtain a 1-to-1 replacement if the battery’s state of health (SoH) falls under 70% during the warranty period.

Malaysia’s sub-RM150k electric SUV market is now a 3-way fight
With the new offer from Chery Malaysia, we might be looking at a close fight between three models for the sub-RM150k electric SUV market. Alongside Omoda E5, there is also the newly announced BYD Atto 3 Ultra and the current market trailblazer, the Proton e.MAS 7.
The Atto 3 Ultra’s official price tag is RM123,800 but BYD Sime Motors is currently offering an RM5,000 launch rebate for the EV which reduced the price tag to albeit for the first 1,000 customers. On the other hand, there is also the Proton e.MAS 7 Premium is also priced at RM123,800 but is currently available for RM119,800 due to the launch rebate.
Unlike the other Atto 3 Ultra and Omoda E5, the Proton e.MAS 7 has a lower-end option called e.MAS 7 Prime which can be obtained at RM105,800 after rebate. The e.MAS 7 Prime capabilities were recently put to the test through Malaysia’s first-ever live long-distance EV road test.
