5 neat high-tech features in the Omoda E5 EV

Since the advent of electric vehicles (EVs), cars have become more than just a means of transportation. More often than not, vehicles today are technical powerhouses that feature plenty of technologies to help the driver get to their destinations faster, easier, and safer.

Riding at the forefront of that wave is the Omoda E5 EV. Yes, it delivers a zero-emissions driving experience, but it also has plenty of features and amenities that will surely keep occupants entertained while on the road. Moreover, some of the high-tech features available on the Omoda E5 are designed to deliver a safer driving experience.

With Omoda set to offer such a crossover to the Philippine market, we list down five of the niftiest cutting-edge features of the soon-to-be-available EV.

Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay

If there's one thing technophiles will always look for when getting a new car, it's having the ability to pair a smartphone with the touchscreen infotainment. While most users have gotten used to connecting their devices via Bluetooth, a better way to connect your mobile device is via Android Auto & Apple CarPlay. And now it’s not just seamless, but also wireless. No longer do you need to fumble with cables when you want to pair your device and use Spotify, YouTube Music, Waze, or Google Maps while on the go.

Wireless Phone Charging Pad

Since the Omoda E5 already comes with wireless connectivity for your mobile device, it should also come with a wireless charging pad. In fact, the E5 comes with one heck of a charging pad that's rated at 50W. With that, your smartphone will be constantly juiced up even as you stream music or use navigational apps while you're on your way to your next adventure.

Intelligent Voice Control

Nothing says high-tech quite like intelligent voice control. Thanks to a Qualcomm 8155 chipset which powers the touchscreen infotainment system, the Omoda E5 can recognize voice commands. You can activate this feature by saying “Hello Omoda” and the system will await your command. With that, you can ask the system to open/close the sunroof, adjust the climate control temperature or fan speed, and many more.

Intelligent Driver Aids

Omoda wants its customers to be safe on the road no matter the conditions. For extra peace of mind, the E5 gets a plethora of driver assistance systems that will serve as the vehicle's extra eyes and ears. These include; front collision warning with autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning with prevention, lane-keep assist, rear-cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lead vehicle departure alert, and automatic high beams. It even gets a rear-cross traffic alert which can warn drivers of obstacles or individuals as they are reversing.

All-around Visibility

Having a reverse camera on your vehicle is great and all but having an all-around view monitoring system is even better. The Omoda E5 comes standard with a 540-degree camera system which will give drivers a better view of their surroundings. That means fewer chances of accidentally dinging the doors or misjudging how close you are to another vehicle while parking.
