Chery E5 Reviews

Chery’s mid-2023 re-emergence in the Australian market has seen the challenger brand go from strength-to-strength with the increasingly popular Omoda 5 small SUV leading the charge and the larger Tiggo 7 Pro SUV recently joining the line-up.But the Omoda 5 is now the subject of a safety recall due to a potential fault in its braking system, with all vehicles so-far sold in Australia impacted.According to an alert issued by the Federal Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communication and the Arts, “Due to a manufacturing defect, the bolt securing the brake pipe union may not have been tightened sufficiently. “This could cause the brake fluid to leak and result in reduced braking performance.”In a worst-case scenario the department says, “A reduction in braking performance could increase the risk of an accident resulting in serious injury or death to the vehicle occupants, pedestrians and other road users.”The recall relates to 5901 examples of the Omoda 5 across BX and EX grades, manufactured in 2022 and 2023. Chery recorded 5370 Omoda 5 registrations in 2023 with 515 units sold so far in 2024.It’s worth noting the Omoda 5 scored a maximum five-star ANCAP safety assessment against the independent body’s current testing criteria in late 2023.Omoda 5 owners are advised to contact their preferred Chery dealership to have their vehicle inspected and rectified free-of-charge.Available contact options regarding the recall are: Chery Customer Care - 1800 424 379 / recall@cherymotor.com.au.

Chinese carmaker Chery says it is addressing feedback from owners and motoring journalists relating to areas of improvement for its small but growing model range.

Chinese manufacturer Chery has released the Tiggo 7 Pro into the already saturated medium SUV market. But its new five-star ANCAP rating highlights the brand's commitment to safety and its design gives its rivals a run for their money. What else does it bring to the table?

It may only have two models on sale in Australia at the moment, but Chery is about to expand its Australian presence in a big way.

Chinese carmaker Chery has landed in the Australian market with a bang, nabbing close to 6000 sales in 2023. Those sales have to come at the expense of other brands, and in Chery's case, it is stealing sales from some obvious brands, as well as a recently lost favourite.

Chery emerged as a force in the Australian new-car market in 2023 with just one model, and the Chinese brand reckons the Omoda 5 is on track to double its sales in 2024.

193,433. That's how many Chinese-built vehicles were sold in Australia in 2023, with that number soaring from 122,845 in 2022, 76,262 in 2021, and just 30,696.

Just a decade ago, if you were after the best full electric car in Australia, you wouldn’t find yourself with a whole lot of options to choose from. 

In a sign of the automotive times, the number of new vehicles produced in China and sold in Australia in 2023 exceeded the number of cars coming from South Korea, now placing the manufacturing powerhouse in third position behind Japan and Thailand.

After a fairly successful relaunch in Australia during 2023, the Chery brand is introducing two new variants of its first model (this time around), the Omoda 5 SUV.
