There’s been a slew of electric vehicle previews and launches over the past few months, and the latest is the arrival of the Chery Omoda E5<\/a>. Launched last week, the zero-emission version of the popular Omoda 5 is playing in the lower reaches of the electric SUV market, and there’s no prizes for guessing its biggest rival.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the Omoda E5 is gunning straight for the BYD Atto 3<\/a>, coming with an attractive price and some impressive specs. But Chery and BYD are not alone in this segment, as MG is also throwing its hat in the ring with the forthcoming ZS EV<\/a>. Three value-driven EVs, each with its own strengths and weakness \u2013 read on to see how these cars stack up.

Price \u2013 ZS EV will be cheaper, Omoda E5 provides greater value<\/strong><\/h6>\n

There’s a very definite order to the pricing of these cars, and the title of cheapest electric SUV in Malaysia will have to go to the ZS EV. It hasn’t been launched yet, but MG’s estimated pricing of RM129,000<\/strong> puts it in a unique position, although \u2013 as you’ll find out soon enough \u2013 the low, low<\/em> price does come with a fair share of tradeoffs.<\/p>\n

But if it’s value for money you’re looking for, then the Omoda E5 has rather stolen the march from the Atto 3. Retailing at RM146,800<\/strong>, the Chery is a few thousand ringgit cheaper than the BYD in Standard Range form (RM149,800<\/strong>) \u2013 and that’s before you realise its specs are closer to the Atto 3 Extended Range (RM167,800<\/strong>). That’s a huge difference, whichever way you slice it.<\/p>\n

Mind you, BYD has since responded by offering a massive RM20,000 rebate<\/a> for 2023 model year Atto 3s, now starting from just RM129,800. That same rebate would put the Extended Range model right within the Omoda E5’s ballpark. Here are the prices of all four available models, sorted by price (all on-the-road without insurance):<\/p>\n
