Chery Omoda 5 1.5T/1.6T SUV

Today, young people have increasingly grown into the main group of car buyers, and car products face the risk of being abandoned by the market if they do not undergo a youthful transformation. Therefore, in recent years, we can see that both European and Japanese brands and Chinese brands are trying their best to attract young people in the new era. For young people, Chery’s new product – OMODA 5.

OMODA 5 is a global model built by Chery. In addition to the Chinese market, the new car will also be sold to more than 30 countries and regions around the world, including Russia, Chile, and South Africa. The word OMODA comes from the Latin root, “O” means brand new, and “MODA” means fashion. From the name of the car, it can be seen that this is a product for young people. OMODA 5 will be available in 2022.4.

OMODA 5 is based on the “art in motion” design concept. The unbounded matrix grille occupies most of the front face, and the interior of the grille is also embellished with diamond-shaped chrome-plated gradients, which are well recognizable. The LED daytime running light strips on both sides are connected by thick chrome decoration, which is a common design technique to extend the visual width. In addition, the front surround lines are sharper, which helps to enhance the sense of movement.

Although the split-type headlights do not have the same throbbing as before, it is indeed a good way to create a fashionable atmosphere. The light group adopts LED light source, and the daytime running light is shaped like the letter T, and the outside of the main light source is outlined by bright black elements.

The sharp rising waistline and side skirt lines create a ready-to-go posture, and the suspended roof, which is similar to a slip-back shape, also shoulders the important task of highlighting the sense of fashion. As you can see, the blackened design method also appeared on OMODA 5, serving to create a sense of movement.

The black and gold color of the 18-inch wheels echoes the exterior rearview mirrors. The tires are GitiComfort F50 series, which focuses on quietness and comfort, and the specification is 215/55 R18.

The first feeling of the rear of the car is that it is full, solid and dynamic. Once the hollow-out spoiler is installed, the sense of movement comes to a high level. The taillights have a sharp shape, and the light groups on both sides are connected by bright black decorations. The taillights have a dynamic effect when the vehicle is unlocked. The flat chrome-plated exhaust on the rear enclosure is just for decoration, and the real exhaust is also two-sided, but it is a hidden layout.

A major feature of OMODA 5′s interior is its simplicity. The enveloping center console and the horizontally designed air-conditioning outlets make the interior of the car feel brighter, and the different color combinations also enhance the sense of hierarchy of the interior. Dual screens are more common in new cars today, and the size of both screens is 12.3 inches.

The multifunctional steering wheel adopts a three-spoke flat bottom shape, and the addition of bright black and silver decorations helps to improve the sense of quality. The left button mainly controls adaptive cruise, and the right button mainly controls multimedia, voice assistant and other functions.

The interface design of the full LCD instrument is relatively simple. In addition to regular driving information, the instrument panel can also display driving assistance, navigation maps, tire pressure, directional compass, multimedia music and other information.

The central control large screen integrates functions such as voice assistant, AutoNavi map, radio station, Huawei HiCar, Apple CarPlay, iQiyi, Changba, driving recorder, panoramic image, Internet of Vehicles, and Internet of Vehicles and Home.

In terms of human-vehicle interaction, in addition to voice assistants, OMODA 5’s in-vehicle camera can also recognize specific gestures or behaviors and perform related operations, such as monitoring the driver’s emotions and recommending corresponding song lists, driver distraction warnings, etc. Blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, reverse lateral emergency braking, lane keeping, adaptive cruise, traffic sign/signal recognition and other functions make OMODA 5 reach the level of L2 driving assistance.

OMODA 5 has 64-color interior ambient lights, negative ion air purification system, wireless charging for mobile phones, automatic air conditioning in zones, driving mode switching, USB/Type-C power interface, electronic handbrake, automatic parking, keyless entry, one-button start, etc.

The one-piece seat and the trendy and fashionable appearance complement each other, and the golden edge and punching process make the seat texture even better. Although the shape is relatively sporty, the seat padding is relatively soft and the comfort is good. In terms of functions, the front seats with heating and ventilation functions are equipped.

The three rear seats are all equipped with headrests, and the central armrest, cup holders, air-conditioning outlets, and child safety seat interfaces are not absent.

After adjusting the driver’s seat to the lowest position and adjusting to a suitable sitting posture, there will be 4 fingers in the head; keep the front row unchanged and come to the back row, 4 fingers in the head, 1 fist and 3 fingers in the leg space; There is a certain bulge in the central floor, and the existence of the front slope has a certain impact on the foot placement.

The storage space in the trunk is relatively regular, and the side is equipped with a 12V power interface. The rear seats can be folded down in a 4/6 ratio, which can flexibly expand the trunk space, but the flatness behind the folded seat backs is relatively average. As far as space is concerned, the needs of daily travel and loading items can basically be met.

OMODA 5 is equipped with a 1.6T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 197 horsepower and a peak torque of 290 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. This set of powertrains is equipped on many models of Chery, the technology is relatively mature, and there is basically no need to worry about reliability. Later OMODA 5 is expected to provide 1.5T and hybrid version options.

The 1.6T engine drives this small and compact compact SUV with ease, and OMODA 5 can meet your power expectations during daily driving. The throttle response of the new car is positive, and basically around 2500rpm will usher in a somatosensory power active period. At the start, you can feel that the power connection between the engine and the gearbox is smoother, which is significantly improved compared with the 2019 Tiggo 8.

The steering wheel is wrapped in leather and has a very full grip. The steering feels light, and it will not become heavy in the sports mode. There is a vacancy in the center position, and the directivity is quite satisfactory. The brake pedal is moderately damped, and every time you brake, the braking force is as expected.

The upshift timing of the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is basically around 2000rpm, which is relatively active, and it will rise to the highest gear at 70km/h. The logic and speed of downshifting are relatively excellent among Chinese brands using dual-clutch gearboxes. When cruising in the highest gear, step on the accelerator deeply, and the gearbox can directly drop 3 or 4 gears. The speed rises and the power pours out simultaneously. Overtaking is easy.

In the sport mode, the engine speed increases, and the throttle response will be more positive.
