Hi guys,
I’ve been doing some research on budget EVs and my current options are:
- MG4 Urban: test drove it, doesn’t stand out that much at that price point.
- Jaecoo J5: test drove it, decent but the brand is quite new so I don’t know about parts availability and aftersales service.
- BYD Atto 1, 2: seen the reviews from CarSauce and the BYD Atto 1 doesn’t hold up well after a while. So not very keen on Atto 2 but still opens to any personal experience on it.
- Geely EX2: upcoming, no ANCAP, no brochure yet and the dealership is taking preorder with refundable deposits.
- GWM Ora 5: same with Geely, but I saw the specs from the dealership and pretty happy with what it has to offer. Except the price point seems higher than the price prediction for Geely EX2 and was told if I don’t deposit before launch, the price will go up to $42k for the top model if I walk in and buy it after launch.
Hoping to get some light shed on this as this is my first EV and not looking for anything to serious, just a budget car to drive daily in metro areas.
Thanks in advance.
