Skywell ET5: electric compact crossover
Skywell ET5 (in China — Skyworth EV6) — an electric compact crossover sold in some European markets as the ET5. In this article, we review its versions, battery, and what to know before buying.
ET5 in brief
The ET5 was introduced in 2020 in China, and later, after the brand name change, it was called the EV6. In some countries, including Romania and Poland, the ET5 name was retained to avoid confusion with the Kia EV6.
This is a small electric crossover with a practical interior and a 12.8-inch screen. It's rare in Lithuania.
Which version to choose
The main choice is the battery. The base version comes with a 55 kWh battery, higher trims with a 72 kWh, and in some markets, you can choose an 86 kWh battery.
There is also a plug-in hybrid version HT-i, but it is not the primary choice in Europe.
Battery and tech
All versions come with a 150 kW (around 204 hp) front electric motor. The claimed range varies from about 410 to 620 km according to CLTC or NEDC, depending on the battery size.
The real-world range, especially in European conditions, will be lower. It's worth checking the specific car.
What to check when buying the ET5
Check the battery condition, charging history, and software version. Test the driver assistance systems and screens.
