Omoda 5: a compact coupe-style SUV and its trims
The Omoda 5 is a compact coupe-style SUV that Chery created for its new Omoda brand. In this article, we look at what sets it apart, the engines on offer, and what to consider if you're thinking about buying a used or new Omoda 5.
The Omoda 5 in brief
The Omoda 5 was introduced in 2022 as the Chery Omoda 5 and later became the flagship model for the standalone Omoda brand. It started hitting European markets around 2023.
This is a compact coupe-style SUV with a striking design and plenty of modern kit. It's still relatively new to the used car market, so supply and price history are limited for now.
Which versions to choose
The main choice is the turbocharged petrol model. There's also the electric Omoda E5 version and, in some markets, hybrid versions that differ in terms of tech and price.
When choosing, pay attention to the specific market trim: Omoda 5 names and equipment can vary by country.
Engines and gearboxes
In Europe, the Omoda 5 is most often offered with a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, producing around 180-200hp. It's paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and front-wheel drive.
In some markets, you might find smaller engines and different gearbox combinations, so check the specific car's technical details before buying.
What to check when buying a used Omoda 5
Since the model is new, the most important factors are the service history, remaining warranty, and whether the car was repaired after an accident. Check if the car was purchased officially and if warranty service will be available.
Test the dual-clutch gearbox (movement from a standstill, slow driving), the multimedia system, and the driver-assistance features. Also, consider whether there is a service network and parts availability in your country.
