Omoda 5 (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very aggressive purchase prices	Petrol powertrain feels half-finished
Generous luxury equipment	Sub-par on ride and handling
Not bad on cabin quality	Not as practical as rivals

Quick Summary

The Omoda 5, launched in the UK in late 2024 by Chinese manufacturer Chery, is a striking mid-size family SUV competing with models like the Nissan Qashqai. It boasts angular, coupe-like styling and is available with either pure-petrol or all-electric powertrains. Positioned with aggressive pricing and generous standard equipment, the Omoda 5 aims to attract buyers with its distinctive looks and impressive cabin quality, despite being a newcomer to the European market.

While offering acceptable front-seat space, rear legroom and headroom are tighter than some rivals, and the 380-litre boot is modest for its class. The petrol version's driving experience is hampered by an inconsistent throttle and unrefined suspension, though refinement improves at motorway speeds. Both Comfort and Noble trims are well-equipped with tech, but the infotainment system can be clunky. Running costs for the petrol model are high (31.4mpg), but the electric E5 offers a 257-mile WLTP range and lower running costs, though charging is slow by modern EV standards.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those attracted by distinctive styling and generous standard equipment, and early adopters of new brands.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising driving dynamics, maximum practicality, or a polished infotainment experience, or those needing fast EV charging.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Omoda 5 if: You're on a budget, attracted by distinctive styling and generous standard equipment, or an early adopter willing to try a new brand.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise driving dynamics, maximum practicality, a polished infotainment experience, or require fast EV charging.

Competitive Position: The Omoda 5 (2024-present) enters the competitive mid-size SUV market with a strong value proposition, offering aggressive pricing and a high level of standard equipment. Its distinctive styling and impressive cabin quality are key drawcards. However, its unrefined petrol powertrain, sub-par ride and handling, and limited practicality compared to rivals mean it struggles to match more established competitors dynamically. While the E5 electric version offers lower running costs, its slow charging capability is a drawback. It represents an interesting, budget-friendly option for those willing to overlook its dynamic shortcomings.
