Chery slashes price of E5 Ultimate, making it lowest-cost electric SUV with 420 km range
Chery has slashed the price of its top-spec MY26 E5 SUV Ultimate edition by thousands of dollars, bringing it down to just $37,990 driveaway.
The new price for the model is over $6,000 cheaper than the previous driveaway price, and makes it the lowest cost electric SUV with over 420 km of WLTP range in the Australian market.
The move follows a surge in interest in EVs in Australia, with sales reaching record highs in March and order books pushing out to several months, and amid a new round of price-cuts as various car makers seek to put their models centre stage.
Lucas Harris, the COO of Chery Australia, said the new pricing was designed to make EVs more accessible to more Australians. “At $37,990 driveaway, the E5 delivers exceptional value in a practical SUV package, without asking customers to compromise on features, safety or technology,” he said in a statement.

Chery Australia has introduced a sharp drive-away deal for its E5 electric compact SUV, while discontinuing the previous entry level variant.
The E5 will now start from $37,990 (drive-away), coming in a single variant called the Ultimate, which used to top the range, meaning the base Urban grade is no longer available.
Despite the entry level grade being cut from the range, the new price represents a substantial saving on previous $40,990 before on-road cost pricing for the range-topping variant.
