It is easy to access the AC controls that are in the center touchscreen, and the touchscreen does not feel lagging in any way.
The home button to go to the main screen has been removed.
The car has soft materials on the dashboard and doors.
The steering in the base model is a cheap, nasty, plastic wheel.
The underthigh support is also limited.
The boot space is not the largest, at only 300 liters, but the opening is a normal size, and it contains a full-size spare wheel.
Overall, the electric Omoda E5 is worth a test drive.
