The Omoda C5 crossover has welcomed a new variant powered by a 1.6 TGDI engine delivering 150 horsepower, paired with a seven-speed robotic transmission. This combination brings a brisk and confident drive, especially noticeable when the car accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds. In everyday use, the car remains efficient, and in mixed driving conditions it consumes a reasonable amount of fuel, with the cycle not exceeding 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers when running on AI-92 gasoline.
Alongside the new engine and transmission, the model gains an intelligent all-wheel-drive system that adapts to the road. Drivers can switch between modes designed for economy, comfort, and sport, and there are dedicated settings for snowy or muddy surfaces. The system can activate all four wheels for maximum traction, and it also offers manual mode to emphasize control when desired. This setup aims to balance spirited performance with stable handling, giving the C5 a versatile personality whether commuting, tackling a winding road, or exploring rural backroads.
The suspension profile received a meaningful upgrade as well. The rear end now uses a multi-link layout with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers, which work together to keep the body level and maintain a predictable path through corners. The result is steadier highway refinement and improved agility in less forgiving road surfaces, helping the car stay true to its chosen line even when the surface isn’t perfectly smooth.
From a value perspective, the all-wheel-drive Omoda C5 with the upgraded engine and transmission is positioned as a compelling option in its class. The Active version starts at 2,879,900 rubles, with the Supreme version priced from 3,049,900 rubles. These figures place the car within reach for buyers who want a higher level of drivetrain sophistication, improved traction, and a more dynamic driving experience without stepping up to a premium price tier.
