Our Verdict

The Chery E5 Ultimate is the fully equipped variant of Chery's compact EV — larger battery, more range, faster charging, and a more complete interior specification versus the Urban entry trim. It competes more directly with the MG4 Excite 64 and BYD Dolphin Premium. For buyers who want a complete small EV specification from Chery, the Ultimate delivers the full package the brand offers in this model.

What we like

✓ More range and faster charging than Urban trim
✓ Full interior specification for Chery E5
✓ CarPlay and Android Auto standard
✓ Larger battery more suited to occasional highway use

What could be better

✗ Chery service network still developing in Australia
✗ Does not match MG's seven-year warranty or BYD's six-year coverage
✗ Premium over Urban trim is for specification rather than platform upgrade

Overview

The E5 Ultimate sits at the top of Chery’s compact EV range in Australia. The larger battery, increased WLTP range, and faster DC charging address the Urban’s limitations for buyers who want occasional highway capability alongside urban efficiency.

At approximately $40,990, it competes directly with the MG4 Excite 64 ($38,990) and BYD Dolphin Premium ($39,990). Both Korean- and BYD-origin competitors have stronger warranty terms; the Chery competes on specification and price.

Key Specification

Battery: approximately 61kWh. WLTP: ~420km. DC: approximately 88kW. Price: ~$40,990.

Verdict

The E5 Ultimate completes the Chery E5 range with a specification that suits mixed urban and occasional highway use. Buyers should confirm current Australian warranty terms, pricing, and dealer support before purchase, as the brand is in an active growth phase in the Australian market.
