Chery E5 / Omoda E5 — Owner’s Guide
The E5 — sold as Omoda E5 and, in MY26 form, also badged Chery E5 — is the electric member of the Omoda 5 family, and its ownership math runs on different rules: services every 20,000 km (double the petrol Omoda’s interval), odd-year services at just $149, and capped coverage stretching to 140,000 km — the longest in Chery’s Australian range. No engine oil, no spark plugs: an EV schedule is inspections, brake fluid, filters and software.
Which one do I have?
| Badge | Years (AU) | Powertrain | Notes |

| Chery E5 (MY26) | 2025–present | electric | Same service schedule and pricing as Omoda E5 per the official program |

Warranty — Australia
7 years / unlimited km for a new vehicle. If a vehicle sold through an authorised Chery Dealer is used primarily as a taxi, for ride sharing, for hire or rental, as a driving-school vehicle or for delivery/courier work, the limit is 7 years / 150,000 km, whichever occurs first. Roadside assistance and capped-price servicing are separate programs.
For the high-voltage battery, Chery’s separate Australian terms print 8 years / unlimited* km. The archived terms do not explain the asterisk in that wording. Capacity cover applies when net residual energy capacity falls below 70% relative to delivery, as measured by an authorised Chery Dealer; assessment remains at Chery’s discretion. The 150,000 km vehicle-use limit above is not stated for the high-voltage battery.
