Train but full of equipment

Less than 6 months since opening for sale in China, the B-SUV Chery Omoda 5 is also about to land in the Malaysian market. Recently, Chery Omoda 5 was also first revealed at an auto show here before the launch to help consumers have the most overview of this model.

In the Chinese market, Chery Omoda 5 is sold with a starting price of 92,900 yuan (equivalent to 316 million). At this price, Chery Omoda 5 is significantly cheaper than names in the same segment like Honda HR-V or Toyota Corolla Cross.

In general, the first impression of Chery Omoda 5 is being evaluated as quite positive. The most notable point is the front of Chery Omoda 5. This train model is equipped with a large grille at the front, combined with a thin strip of LED daytime running lights, helping to give Chery Omoda 5 a very attractive appearance. Moving to the side of the car, Chery Omoda 5 owns 18-inch glossy black rims while at the rear, this B-SUV model impresses with LED taillights extending to the sides.

The interior of Chery Omoda 5 has a pretty nice design. Inside the interior compartment, Chery Omoda 5 is equipped with dual screens with a size of 10.25 inches, one for the digital instrument cluster and the other for the infotainment system. Chery Omoda 5 also supports wireless connectivity for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Regarding the powertrain, Chery Omoda 5 uses 2 engine options in the Chinese market. The first engine option is a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, producing 156 horsepower and 230 Nm of torque, combined with a CVT automatic transmission. Meanwhile, the other engine option is a 1.6L, 4-cylinder, turbocharged engine with a capacity of 197 horsepower and 290 Nm of torque, combined with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Not only Malaysia, Chery Omoda 5 is also expected to launch in the Vietnamese market in the near future. With a reasonable price and modern equipment, Chery Omoda 5 promises to “deal a blow” on rivals Hyundai Creta, Toyota Corolla Cross.
