The OMODA 5, the first product under Chery's new global OMODA series, has been awarded a full five-star safety rating by the stringent European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), scoring highly in the Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Vulnerable Road Users and Safety Assist categories.

The SUV’s success in this test is rooted in its user-centric focus and relentless pursuit of quality, having taken into account the key demands of global consumers from the R&D and design stages.

It has not only made great advancements in body structure, safety configuration and other aspects, but has carried out adaptive development verification in different environments and road conditions around the world, including acing the Tri-Extreme Tests, conducted in extreme environments of low temperatures (<-40°C), high temperatures (nearly 50°C) and high altitudes (5,200 metres).
