OMODA Philippines proudly announces that its first fully-electric crossover SUV, the OMODA E5, has been officially certified by the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP) after successfully completing an efficiency run to validate its published range of 430 kilometers.
Two OMODA E5 units were tested under strict parameters: starting with a 100% battery charge and standard OEM equipment. Tire pressure was set to 42 psi, and the vehicles maintained a speed range of 60 to 100 kph where conditions allowed, adhering to legal speed limits on highways, city, and provincial roads. Each vehicle carried three passengers and 10 kg of cargo. Despite being set to an energy-saving mode with the highest regenerative braking settings, the passengers had control over the air conditioning and blower settings to simulate real-world usage. Other vehicle features, such as headlamps, wipers, and the infotainment system, were also used based on passenger preferences. Additionally, adaptive cruise control was engaged throughout the drive.
Throughout the nearly 13-hour drive, the OMODA E5 maintained a cruising speed of 80 km/h and reached a peak of 90 km/h when necessary. The efficiency run covered six key destinations: Shell Mampalasan, NLEX Balagtas, Petron TPLEX NB, Clean Beach Coffee, Poro Point Lighthouse, and Shell TPLEX Rosario.
By the conclusion of the run, the first vehicle achieved a final battery state of 2%, with 8 km of remaining range, covering a total of 442.7 km. The second vehicle finished with a 7% battery state and 28 km of remaining range, totaling 428.8 km. On average, the test vehicles recorded a range of 435 kilometers, surpassing the published range of 430 km.
The OMODA E5 is a fully electric version of the popular OMODA 5 crossover, designed to appeal to a younger generation with its bold design and advanced interior technology. According to Marco Chen, Country Director of OMODA Philippines, this certification underscores OMODA’s dedication to delivering cutting-edge, efficient vehicles.
“The AAP certification demonstrates that the OMODA E5 is not just about style; it’s built for efficiency. Our electric vehicles are engineered for long-distance travel on a single charge while ensuring comfort for all passengers. This recognition is a testament to OMODA’s Art in Motion philosophy—combining smart innovations, eco-friendly technology, and modern aesthetics,” said Chen.
The Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP), the oldest and largest automotive organization in the country, is known for its commitment to advancing the welfare of motorists. Members of AAP enjoy a wide range of benefits, including 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, personal accident insurance, discounts from lifestyle partners, LTO renewal assistance, and more.
