OCODA 5 EV is one of the electrical sovs with the best value for money. After I tried it, these are the things that I liked the most … and the least.
The homoda 5 EV test took me enough prejudices. Yes, it’s one Chinese electric SUVBut this SUV also shows that there is another way if you are looking for a car that goes to B with soft and without complications.
To begin with, I think in the brand the right to give it a modern designBut without exaggerations: sharp lines that do not oblige to lose space in the cabin, details that show that the car was designed with love.
On the other hand, as in other Chinese cars, The electric theme is a little weak If you compare it with other rivals, although it is also true that you cannot expect a 1,000 volt system (such as BYD, which recharge 400 km in five minutes) in a car that you can now take for 25,000 euros with the new Moves III plan.
But let me go Little, little, renovation of this model. First of all, the positive.
I liked: interior space

It’s an SUV Comfortable and relatively spacious. It is true that I did not find as much space as when I tried the BMW IX, but it can be lived inside without too many complications, especially the passengers on the parties.
For example, The rear chairs They have good access because the doors open very much. Once inside, the posture is relaxed, although the sidewalk is something short to my liking.
In addition, in The center console appears a double aeration output (It is simple in the 5 gasoline homod) and heating chairs in the premium finish (the one you see in the photos).
I liked: the posture of the wheels

Continuously with the management position, which is comfortable. The chairs are pleasant by design and fluffy. The back supports well, but the sidewalk is like that of the rear seats: short.
Sitting at the wheel You reach all the controls without problems (which are reduced to the central, practical screen) and have a good circular visibility to survive in the city.
I liked: the calm leadership

Certainly, if you are interested in buying a homoda 5 EV, the benefits remain in the background. And that The engine offers 204 hp with those who move more than worthy.
Actually I measured one 0 to 100 of 10.1 seconds and about 4.8 S Recovery in 60 to 100 and 6.4 in 80-120: there are good data that guarantee the safe overpath.
As Electric is, Remove the vibrations and rumor Usually in gasoline cars, and the rolling quality was better than I could have been waiting.
On the highway it is very good and also on secondary roads that are not too revived, provided that the asphalt is in good condition, because the suspensions, which are comfortable, do not understand themselves with excess work.
I liked: real consumption
Auto Bild
Continue that during the test I measured one real consumption 17.2 kWh/100 km electricity, almost two kilowatts above the officer, which is located at 15.5 kWh per 100 km.
But since it is a 1.8 tons of car (It is easy, as things are put), it is an acceptable value to make 355 km with its 61 kWh battery.
I did not like it: the operating system
Auto Bild
When I started driving it, I was glad that Operating system It was different from the petrol version. Beyond improving graphics, because ugly alerts can be eliminated in a simple way.
But my joy came. I think he The order of menus is improvisable. There is an option of “local adjustments” and another “vehicle settings”. You have to guess where you need …
I didn’t like it: touching the brake and the accelerator
I said before that is a Quiet car That he will give you joy when you will gently lead him.
But that does not mean to have a “Rare” brake touch To the one who will cost you to take the point and this is not very precise when you climb the rhythm.
Also, touch The accelerator is suddenly pulling In the first gas blow, so your comrades can complain about an opportunity. Should be softer at the moment.
I did not like it: I could not lower consumption
The good part of you incites you Enjoy it The management is that you go from one side to the other quiet and without stress.
It also helps the consumption not to shoot, as I have seen. But I must also admit that I Cost not the 15.5 kWhBut to stay in the low area of the 16 kWh/100 km, without using in detail “Miniconsumo”, which is very far from the real leadership of everyone around you.
I did not like it: the loading power
Auto Bild
And related to it, loading power. In the homoda they placed a system that allows 11 kW in the alternative (internal) card, which is common in electric cars.
But In direct current (that of fast charger) you need to be thankful with 80 kW. In itself, it is not a bad figure, but given the capabilities of this car to travel, having a autonomy on the highway that probably does not reach 350 km is not compensated with truly short charging times.
Even so, in the brand They say you will need 28 minutes To move from 30 to 80 percent of the battery, a good value, but it will be extended if you want to recharge to maximize the scope.
