The new crossover Chery Omoda 5 will appear in Russia in the summer of 2022

Chery plans to bring to the Russian market a new compact crossover Omoda 5, which is expected to be on sale this summer. Recently, this car was exhibited in Moscow on the territory of the "Bread factory" art center as a part of a marketing event to study demand. Recall that the Chery Omoda 5 crossover was presented last autumn at the Guangzhou Motor Show, and the mass production of the model began in February 2022. Chery Omoda 5 has pioneered a new line aimed at young Gen Z consumers that will include 3-4 more models.

Vehicle dimensions 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 due to the two-tier optics with a narrow line of daytime running lights, as well as the radiator grille, which has become a part of the bumper. The rear of the car is distinguished by lanterns united in a single line, as well as chrome trim for the exhaust system. As for the interior of the Chery Omoda 5, the center console and dashboard screens are a single unit, and the number of physical buttons is kept to a minimum. It is also worth noting the touch-sensitive climate control unit and wireless charging for a smartphone.

Under the bonnet of Omoda 5, a 1.6-liter representative of the Asteso family is installed, familiar to Russians from EXEED TXL. The suspension matches the powerful engine: in front it is represented by a standard MacPherson strut, and on the rear axle you can see a multi-link independent scheme. In the future, Omoda 5 will get less powerful 1.5-liter units and even get hybrid and all-electric versions.
