Whereas earlier spyshots of the Omoda 5 wore non-production, circular-type tail lights, the latest batch of spyshots show the new SUV with production-ready tail lights.

As a refresher, Chery Malaysia has formalized an agreement with a yet-to-be named local assembly partner.

Although Chery remains tight-lipped about the location of its CKD plant, it is rumoured to be in Kulim, Kedah - at the Sime Darby Motors-Bermaz Auto co-owned Inokom plant.

The Inokom plant in Kulim, Kedah also assembles models like the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, and Mazda CX-8.
