Chery: Five stars for the Omoda 5
EUROPEAN QUALITY The Omoda 5 from Chery also cuts a fine figure in terms of passive safety. With a 5-star rating from Euro NCAP, the crossover SUV underlines the manufacturer's commitment to safe passenger cars.
The results of the latest Euro NCAP test made it clear that the Omoda 5, which is in the B+ segment, does not need to shy away from comparison and can keep up with similar European and American models in terms of safety.
Jochen Tüting, Head of Development and Managing Director of Chery Europe GmbH: "The days when vehicles manufactured in China could not keep up with European competitors are long gone."
Catching up
More and more Chinese car manufacturers are discovering the European market. However, despite the growing presence of the new brands, European car buyers are still somewhat skeptical.
Jochen Tüting: "Our excellent crash test results will reduce the reluctance of European customers. In combination with the price attractiveness of the Omoda 5, we are convinced that we can put together an interesting offer for consumers."
Petrol engines, hybrids and EVs
The body structure of the Omoda 5 is designed to be very rigid. The new model also features a wide range of driver assistance systems. Chery intends to offer a wide range of models and powertrains with an attractive price-performance ratio via a traditional dealer network in Europe from 2024. The Omoda 5 will be powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged petrol engine combined with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Laecoo 7 with a trendy off-road look will follow a little later on the same platform - as a petrol engine and as a plug-in hybrid.
