There is a heated discussion about the new brand in the official Telegram community Omoda 5 Fan Club, representatives of official Chery dealers are really looking forward to it in Russia. The presentation of the first model of the Omoda C5 brand should take place in September, and not in October, as said before. The dealers participating in the discussion are not talking about prices yet, although they have hinted that they already have price lists.
The Omoda Russia Telegram channel says:
“The heart of the Omoda C5 is the 1.5T turbo petrol engine with 147 hp. with a torque of 210 Nm. Technical excellence, efficiency and dynamism in one car.
Presumably it works together with the variator. There are three modes: Eco, Normal and Sport, and the acceleration time to “hundreds” promises 9.9 s. The car has front-wheel drive only.
Earlier, a source at one of the dealerships told Chinese Automobiles that the cars already exist and are being prepared for presentation. At the same time, the publication found no traces of OTTS (Vehicle Type Approval) on the Omoda C5 in the Rosstandart database.
In total, two crossovers and a new sedan are expected to enter the Russian market by 2022, and the model range will be expanded by 2025.
Chery Omoda 5 is a compact crossover coupe with dimensions (length/width/height) of 4400mm x 1830mm x 1588mm, rivaling Haval Jolion and Geely Coolray.
