Perhaps the most stylish SUV to grace the floors at the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show is the Chery Omoda 5 – a new C-segment-sized SUV in Chery’s ever-growing line-up.

The most eye-catching aspect of the new Chery Omoda 5 is the front fascia. There’s no mistaking the Omoda 5 for anything else: its massive front grille neatly integrates with the LED DRLs at the top edges, creating a massive grin.

Like Mitsubishi’s Dynamic Shield’s front fascia, the Omoda 5 also gets its main headlights (and presumably turn signals) tucked at the edges.

It’s business as usual towards the sides, though Chery designers grafted on a sloping roofline on the Omoda 5, creating a coupe-like silhouette. Orange highlights placed throughout the exterior help break the monotony of the Omoda 5.

Moving to the rear, the Omoda 5’s tail lights get vertical lighting elements and are connected via a trim piece with the Chery wording emblazoned across.

Dimension-wise, the Chery Omoda 5 is 4,400 mm long, 1,830 mm wide, and 1,585 mm tall, while wheelbase is 2,630 mm. These dimensions put the Omoda squarely against rivals like the Toyota Corolla Cross.

Inside, the Omoda 5 offers a surprisingly upmarket-looking cabin, with dual 10.25-inch LCD displays – one acting as an instrument cluster, the other for infotainment display. Further adding to the sporty touch is the flat-bottomed steering wheel and semi bucket front seats.

Other niceties within the cabin include a rotary controller, electric parking brake (EPB), touch sensitive climate controls, as well as intricately-designed speaker grilles.

Power for the Chery Omoda 5 comes from a turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine that does 197 PS and 290 Nm. Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and battery electric (BEV) versions will be introduced in the near future.
