2025 Chery Omoda E5 EX review
The Chery Omoda E5 has been discounted by $6000, making it one of Australia's cheapest electric SUVs, but it's not one of the best.

Kia Australia is recalling 315 examples of its EV6 electric crossover due to a software issue that may cause the vehicle to roll when it’s put in park.
This recall affects all EV6 variants produced from 2021 to 2022, and therefore affects all EV6s sold in Australia to date.
“Due to a software issue with the Shift Control Unit (SCU), the parking pawl may fail,” says the company in its recall notice.
“This could result in vehicle moving or rolling away whilst the vehicle is engaged in the park position.”
- A total of 315 vehicles are affected
- The VIN list is attached here
- The original recall notice is attached here
If you own an affected vehicle, you’ll need to contact your preferred authorised Kia dealer to have the SCU software updated, free of charge.
If you have any further questions you can call Kia Customer Care on 131 542.
