Vehicle overview
Chery is looking to expand its footprint here in Australia, with the Omoda 5 playing a key role in its expansion goals. It’s a sleek and futuristic-looking compact SUV package that offers a decent amount of interior space for the pint-sized segment and over-delivers when it comes to features for the money. The Omoda 5 range comes powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that kicks out 108kW of power and 210Nm of torque to the front wheels via a CVT automatic, with fuel economy figures sitting at a very reasonable 6.9L per 100km on the combined cycle. The Omoda’s boot measures in at 360L with the rear seats standing, expanding to 1,075L with the second row folded forward, while a seven-year/unlimited-km warranty and capped-price servicing means it’s impossible to ignore if you’re after a great deal in the small SUV segment.
