Editorial Review
Consumer Reviews
Have owned the Omoda E5 for a year now, and so far enjoying the plunge into EV, having previously owned an ICE car. Omoda (and Jaecoo) are good entry points for aspiring EV owners, with a relatively lower price point, but certainly not a stripped down bare shell of a car. Ride is smooth and comfortable, and good for a family of 4. Boot size is lacking compared to other small sized SUVs in the market, but unless you're regularly packing 2 large luggages into your boot, not a deal breaker. Test drive to try and experience for yourself.
Driving experience is good. Loving the spacious interiors. Full charge gives about 440km. Pickup speed is fast. Boot space is large for this catA.
Good dashing SUV car at a good price. Car is sporty look and big, sending terror to other cars on the road.
Car is energy efficient, and charges fast too
This car great value for its price!
Was choosing between Omoda E5 and BYD Atto 3. Glad to have chosen the E5. Vertex aftersales service team have been very helpful and responsive
I was served by Hannah Tong. She was very helpful & cooperative in the sales process. She help me to get the best price & an affordable loan package. I am very satisfied with her services & would continue to recommend my friends to her. To contact her at 81532695.
The Omoda E5 is actually a solid pick? good range, smooth drive, and very comfortable for daily use. Switching to an EV since Nov 2025 and having no regrets says a lot ?
Drove for 3 days, no regret making the decision to buy this car. At first still abit skeptical about the brand. But after doing alot of research decide to buy.
And i am surprise of the function and the driving experience.
Been driving my Omoda E5 since Oct 2025 and honestly no regrets switching to EV. The drive is super smooth and quiet, sometimes I feel like I'm gliding instead of driving ? Range more than enough for daily SG use, and charging became normal after a while.
At first the safety system shocked me a bit — I tried to change lane and the car like "eh bro, not safe leh" and corrected itself. Now I appreciate it. Voice control also quite shiok, just talk and it works. Overall happy with the car.
The Omoda E5 is a standout choice for those seeking a stylish, tech-forward electric SUV without the premium price tag. Its "X-Future" design gives it a sleek, grill-less aesthetic that feels modern and sophisticated.
Inside, the cabin is a highlight, featuring an impressive 24.6-inch curved dual-screen and a premium 8-speaker Sony sound system. Performance is equally sharp; the 61kWh battery delivers a practical WLTP range of 430km, it easily handles daily commutes and weekend trips.
The Omoda E5 offers great value for money. At its price point, it comes with a premium interior, strong safety features, a 61kWh battery, and an impressive 10-year battery warranty, along with 10 years of free servicing.
After-sales support at the Vertex Ubi service centre has been excellent — the service agents are responsive and helpful.
Overall, it's a practical and reliable EV for driving in Singapore and even for trips to Malaysia.
Had received the car in July 25, and it has not given me any problem. Only complaint would be the charging time required if using AC charging. Car has served me well daily from east to west. I realized it saves more electricity if is driving at 50-60km/hr. Maybe this is the nature of the electric motor. It saves even more if there is a traffic jam, as the electric motor pulls electric only when it moves...during stationary no electricity consumption except the Aircon. Is reliable to me and is easy to drive till date. No regrets changing from combustion to electric.
Omoda E5 has a nice exterior styling with interesting features. Internally, it is nice and also has a good mix between electronic and manual controls.
I enjoy my drive every time.
I have been driving the OMODA E5 since May 2025 and has overcome my initial fear of owning an EV.
Charging the car was so easy and the range of close to 430km city driving was indeed reachable.
Once the car moves, you just want to keep driving! Gives you the feeling of quietness and tranquility.
The many safety features give you assurance and nothing is taken for granted!
For the price I bought, it is definitely a steal comparing to an ICE vehicle of the same level.
The futuristic shape of the car is eye catching and it stands out amongst other cars park together
First time owner of an EV + a car, we are happy with the car so far in terms of its practicality and also the interface,design of the car. The charging is not tough in Singapore and it makes things alot easier. It has been a year in since we have the car and so far it's been a wonderful ride for our family. We have recently heard about the new app that Omoda have now so we are even happier with our decision we made a year ago to purchase the Omoda.
After several months on the road, the Omoda E5 feels like a value-packed EV that gives one a lot of features for the price, but with a few rough edges I learned to live with.
Driving Experience & Daily Use
Pros
• Smooth and silent EV feel: The instant torque and quiet ride make city and highway driving enjoyable.
• Strong performance: The 99kW electric motor puts out decent acceleration and can feel brisk for everyday use.
• Tech and screens: Dual widescreen displays and infotainment get lots of praise for clarity and modern look.
Cons
• Steering and throttle are a bit "off": Many reviewers (and owners) mention light, disconnected steering and throttle that can feel jerky or twitchy, especially at low speeds.
• Regen levels and brake feel: Regenerative braking can feel abrupt and isn't always well-modulated, leading many to stick with the lowest regen setting for smoother driving.
• Driver assist systems reset every start: Some safety/ADAS settings don't stick after turning the car off, which becomes an annoyance over time.
Verdict: Comfortable for daily commuting and long trips, but not as refined as some rivals.
