The AAP verification was not a simulated laboratory test but a comprehensive, real-world assessment designed to mirror genuine Philippine driving conditions, ensuring absolute relevance and accuracy for Filipino consumers: Controlled Speeds: Vehicles maintained speeds between 60 km/h and 90 km/h on highways, adhering strictly to all speed limits and traffic regulations, with judicious lower speeds on provincial roads; Consistent Climate Control: Air conditioning was maintained at 23 degrees Celsius throughout the entire journey; Realistic Occupancy & Cargo: Each vehicle faithfully simulated typical usage, carrying two passengers and two weekend bags; Varying Traffic Conditions: The test vehicles encountered a full spectrum of traffic conditions, from light to mostly heavy, on both highway and provincial roads; Significant Traffic Congestion: On Friday, August 1, heavy traffic flow was specifically encountered in Angeles, Pampanga, and along the Skyway from G. Araneta Exit up to NAIAX Exit, adding a crucial layer of real-world challenge; Challenging Weather.
The Jaecoo J7 SHS distinguished itself prominently within its segment, demonstrating an extraordinary fuel efficiency of 23.168 kms/liter over a substantial 625.2-km distance run. The Omoda C5 showcased a robust 14.464-km/l fuel efficiency over an impressive 623-km run on its demanding route. On the other hand, the Omoda E5 delivered an exceptional display of electric prowess as it achieved an outstanding 449-km run, surpassing its previous verified range of 442.7 kms. This record-setting performance firmly establishes the Omoda E5 as a frontrunner in electric vehicle range and efficiency, a powerful testament to Omoda’s cutting-edge EV technology and unwavering commitment to pioneering sustainable, long-range mobility.
