Chery will bring a new crossover Omoda 5 to Russia

In 2022, Chery plans to bring to Russia the new Omoda 5 crossover, which was recently presented at the Guangzhou Motor Show. This was reported in the press service of Chery Cars Rus, by adding that the name of the Omoda 5 for the Russian market has not been confirmed yet. In China, the Chery Omoda 5 will go on sale in the second quarter of 2022.

This crossover was the forerunner of a new line aimed at younger generation Z consumers, which will include 3-4 more models. The dimensions of Chery Omoda 5 are 4400 x 1830 x 1585 mm with a wheelbase of 2630 mm. In terms of parameters, it is between Geely Coolray and Haval Jolion. At the same time, the Omoda 5 looks more futuristic than both potential competitors - largely thanks to the two-tier optics with a narrow line of daytime running lights, as well as the radiator grill, which has become part of the bumper.

The crossover profile is somewhat reminiscent of the aforementioned Coolray, but the Omoda 5 seems more massive. The rear of the car is distinguished by the integrated lanterns and the chrome-plated exhaust system. As for the Chery Omoda 5's interior, the center console and dashboard screens are a single unit, and the number of physical buttons is kept to a minimum. Under the bonnet of the Omoda 5 there is a 1.6-liter representative of the Asteso family, familiar to Russians from the EXEED TXL.

In China, it is boosted to 197 hp and produces 290 Nm, and a pair of 7-speed "robot". The suspension matches the powerful engine, with a standard MacPherson strut at the front and a multi-link independent arrangement at the rear.
