Omoda E5 units cover at least 428 kms in latest AAP test

The two Omoda E5 units tested by the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP) covered at least 428 kilometers (kms).

Based on the test conducted last September 4, one unit did 428.8 kms while the other had 442.7 kms.

The vehicles maintained an 80 kilometers per hour (kph) cruising speed (reaching a 90 kph maximum speed when necessary). The nearly 13-hour drive covered six destinations, including Shell Mampalasan, North Luzon Expressway Balagtas, Petron TPLEX (Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway) northbound, Clean Beach Coffee, Poro Point Lighthouse, and Shell TPLEX Rosario.

Further vehicles that took part in the test used only standard equipment; tire pressures at 42 psi; carrying three passengers and 10 kilograms worth of items; and were in extreme energy-saving mode with the highest regenerative braking settings activated.

Air-conditioning system settings (temperature and blower) were used according to passenger preference while headlamps, wipers and infotainment system were also utilized to simulate real-world driving conditions.

Further, adaptive cruise control was also engaged on both test units.

Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines Country Director Marco Chen said that the AAP certification is a “testament to the brand’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the automotive industry.”

“The AAP certification proves that Omoda E5 is indeed about style and efficiency. We engineered our electric vehicles to be capable of handling long drives on a full battery while keeping the driver and passengers comfortable throughout the entire ride. This certification is proof of Omoda’s automotive engineering DNA: the Art in Motion, which boasts smart innovations, eco-friendly features, and distinctly modern aesthetics,” Chen noted.
