The SUV measures 4.53 meters in length, 1.82 meters in width, and 1.59 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 2.61 meters. Its boot space exceeds 400 liters, expandable to over 1,100 liters with the rear seats folded.

Inside, the Omoda 5 boasts an 8.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a central 15.6-inch display, up from the previous model's 12.3 inches. New storage spaces have been integrated into the center console, which features a black and gray color scheme. Standard equipment includes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control.
Powertrain Options
The hybrid variant is equipped with Chery's Super Hybrid System (SHS), combining a gasoline engine with two electric motors. It delivers a total output of 224 hp (approximately 168 kW) and 295 Nm of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 175 km/h, with a combined fuel consumption of 5.2 l/100 km.
