Is a $43K electric SUV too good to be true? (Chery Omoda E5 2024 Review)

Some 18 months after the debut of its price-lead Omoda 5 midsize SUV, Chery has lobbed a fully electric version - its first EV offering in Australia - in the form of the Omoda E5.

With its slicker restyling and bespoke electric architecture, the Omoda E5 arrives in two variants: the entry BX at $42,990 and the higher-grade EX $45,990, both before on-roads.

Powered by a single front-mounted electric motor good for 150kW and 340Nm, the Omoda E5 fits a 61.1kWh battery with modest 80kW peak DC charging, if with a maximum range claim of 430 kilometres.

Chasing Cars contributor Nathan Ponchard takes the newcomer for a spin, to see if the new electric version has overcome some of the tech and drivability woes of its petrol sibling. And to see if Chery has hit the mark with its new price-savvy electric SUV.

China’s plug-in Ford Ranger challenger (GWM Cannon Alpha XSR PHEV 2024 Review)

GWM’s big daddy pick-up, the Cannon Alpha, is a newcomer to the Aussie market, having been offered in petrol-electric hybrid and diesel forms to date. But now a new plug-in hybrid, with 110 kilometres of claimed electric-only driving range, appears to be a possible inclusion to the local lineup.

Chasing Cars contributor Iain Curry takes a spin on and off road in a Chinese left-hook version of the new PHEV ute, a vehicle that could take on the likes of the forthcoming BYD Shark and Ford Ranger plug-in pickups.

Our test car is the ultimate XSR grade, a trim currently not offered in the Aussie diesel and self-charging hybrid Cannon Alpha lineup. It packs 300kW and 750Nm of combined petrol-electric output.

With its off-road tweaks, premium spec list and plug-in heartbeat, this could be the GWM ute to sail beyond $70K if it does come to Oz.
