The Chery Omoda 5 is now officially launched in Malaysia, priced from RM108,800. Full details of the B-segment Honda HR-V rival here, plus specs, gallery and video
In case you’re wondering about the ‘return’ part, or aren’t old enough to remember, Chery was brought in by Tan Sri Cam Soh Thiam Hong’s Alado in the noughties and we had models like the QQ minicar, Tiggo SUV and Eastar MPV in the ‘Chery Alado’ era. We even had aNo local partner this time around, as Chery has decided to do things its own way in a market that’s very difficult to penetrate. Even the mighty BYD has the backing of major player Sime Darby.
The rest of the SUV’s body should be less divisive. It’s a sculpted shape with blacked out rear pillars and a full-width strip for the tail, with Chery spelled out in letters. Very current. Face aside, I see a bit of Lexus in the Omoda 5, which is no bad thing. What do you think? Pop the hood and you’ll find a 1.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 156 hp and 230 Nm of torque, hence the 230T badge. Drive goes to the front wheels via a CVT with nine virtual ratios. To counter negative perceptions of Chinese products or reliability concerns, Chery Malaysia is offering a 10-year/1-million km warranty.
Go for the top spec H and Chery adds on full faux leather upholstery , a sunroof and an eight-speaker Sony sound system . The H also gets powered and ventilated front seats and a powered tailgate. There’s also a 360-degree camera system to aid parking.
