The Omoda E5 electric SUV has earned five-star safety ratings from both the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) and the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). This achievement highlights the vehicle’s focus on safety and strengthens its position in the competitive electric vehicle (EV) market.
Outstanding Safety Performance
In a detailed series of assessments, the Omoda E5 delivered strong results across key safety categories:
- Adult Occupant Protection: Scored 87%, ensuring solid protection for adult passengers in crash scenarios.
- Child Occupant Protection: Scored 88%, prioritising safety for younger passengers.
- Safety Assist Systems: Achieved 83%, driven by advanced driver assistance technologies designed to reduce risks.
- Vulnerable Road User Protection: Scored 68%, focusing on reducing harm to pedestrians and cyclists.
These scores were confirmed through rigorous crash tests, including frontal and oblique impacts, ensuring both structural durability and battery integrity.
Durable Structural Design
The Omoda E5 incorporates 78% high-strength steel in its construction, designed to absorb and distribute crash forces effectively. Reinforced areas, including the front structure, B-pillars, and door sills, protect the cabin during impacts. Testing showed stable performance, with no significant deformation of critical structural components.
The SUV is equipped with a full airbag system and child seat interfaces. An integrated eCall system contacts emergency services after a crash, enhancing overall safety for passengers.
Advanced Driver Assistance Features
The Omoda E5 is equipped with a suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that improve safety on the road:
- Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB): Detects potential collisions and applies brakes automatically.
- Lane Departure Warning & Lane Keep Assist: Alerts drivers of lane drifts and provides corrective inputs.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Adjusts speed to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
These systems contribute to the Omoda E5’s strong Safety Assist score and enhance everyday driving.
Achieving five-star ratings from ANCAP and Euro NCAP makes the Omoda E5 a compelling option for buyers prioritising safety. Its combination of reliable design and modern technology appeals to a growing market of safety-conscious EV consumers.
