I live in Russia, and the AWD OMODA C5(that’s how it’s called here) is being sold since the start of last year, I really liked the design and features, but the price was too high throughout the year(about 32-33k usd for a one step down from top spec awd), but this January they made some nice discounts on 2023 cars, so I managed to buy one for about 27k usd. So, I’ve been driving it for four months now, and I really like it. It’s much more snappy than my old car(Honda CR-V 2015 2.0) and has much softer suspension, less road noise and headlights are just brilliant. I’ve bought the car in January, so I’ve been able to try it out in the harsh winter of 2024 with record breaking amounts of snow and -25C temperatures, and the car handled it pretty well, all wheel drive works as advertised, managing to get out of deep soft snow, especially in off road mode(manufacturer claims that it provides 50% of power to the rear in that mode, not sure about that tbh) and it easily started the engine in those temperatures. The driving assists have been updated here in the summer of 2023, so they’re alright, and they stay turned off after restarting the car if you don’t want them. The maintenance costs seem to be less than with Honda, but that’s probably because of the whole sanctions situation. Overall, so far I’m really enjoying the car and don’t regret selling the 2015 CR-V.
thank you for your long review, it really help.
-25 это вообще не мороз.
Having owned American, Australian and Japanese vehicles for years I test drove both Havel and the Omoda 5 and was amazed at the quality of the vehicles.and the world of options. So much so I sold the wife's Outlander for a Omoda 5 1 month ago and just love it. I truly believe Chinese vehicles are the next big thing and an incredibly affordable over Japenese and Korean cars that have left families in certain sectors out of reach of affordable cars with top level safety.
The real storm has not yet arrived, and the manufacturers currently arriving are not the best in China, but the ones with the most ships. Once other Chinese manufacturers have completed the construction of their overseas vessels, everyone will understand what is truly a Chinese car
Thanks for the info we’ll done
Hi Paul. When are you testing the Tiggo 8?
Hi Paul
I've bought the Chery Omoda 5 last year EX model , I really hate the camera thing that always is telling me that I'm distracted, when I'm actually looking at what's around me...
Is there a fix or update for this yet, as it's the only thing that I really hate ... hope you can help
I'm so interested to see where we're going with vehicle design and manufacturing. Lost any hope we'll ever have our own car manufacturer here in Australia, we let go of that far too easily and we can't argue about where our vehicles come from at this stage. The evolution of cars, SUVs & utes is the most important responsibility we have now as consumers. Our roads and conditions are different from other countries, in a big way. One thing, I'm fed up with cars not being standard AWD, there's no excuse these days in any vehicle in Aus for it to not be standard just as part of safe driving. Once you drive AWD, you understand how much safer it makes the car, how it makes the ridiculously different road surfaces we dive in one day so much easier & less wearing on you and your car. It truly needs to be thought of like all the other safety equipment that's become necessary, like driver alerts and all the bells and whistles. Good AWD can save your life, notice I said good.
The other thing that I'm completely over these days and my last 3 beautiful cars have had is Piano Black.........yes it looks very sexy all shiny and gleaming, but when do any of us have time to shine the dang stuff??????????? WHEN???? & Why even if they've cut it down on many places, like doors and windows (cause we are all going to be using our grubby little fingers for those), why is the centre console and around the touch screens (c'mon nearly every car now has touch screens) & what is the point of putting it anywhere in the same postcode as cupholders for pitys sake. Also let's be truthful, hands up if all the dust and crap that shows up in every one of those areas with piano black drives you completely loopy & makes you want to bust out the mini vac & polish cloth. Another great thing would be if the reflections off all the surfaces of your dashboard and consoles made the information easier to see, so you don't have to do that shady thing with one hand while you're trying to reverse.......(the gift of the reversing camera surrounded in piano black as well, who knew!!) It would also be nice to see all your dials, readouts, buttons and the whole kit and caboodle in daylight sun without having to peer through the glare coming straight in the windscreen & blinding you because of the dust, fingerprints and crap on your lovely piano black whatevers. Ok, perhaps I have a small problem with it truthfully.
And seats, I know we're all different when it comes to seats, but please explain how with all of the options for seating these days you still get a numb bum & a sore lower back & neck after driving long distance even in a car you'd rather live in than your house. What happens to a perfectly wonderful, beautiful hand chosen car that you've paid your bucks for after spending months researching, visiting dealers and learning more about weight distribution of the human body on the shape of car seats (& really I don't want to know as much as I do about car seat materials and bolstering) & finally you pick THAT car....... you know THE perfect one, you're in love, you're happy, you're yelling at friends and family to get their fingers of the piano black (you're still carrying a polish cloth in the glovebox to whip out and make it gleam again) so there you are & you simply couldn't be happier with your choice. Then you do the long trip, yes the one that this car was going to make a dream to do & bang.......3-4hrs into the trip, the honeymoon is over and you're suffering numb bum or dodgy back.... please explain!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I only have a couple of niggles & Piano Black is one 🙄😏😁
Paul, I have seen you complaining about the safety systems in Chinese vehicles, the problem isn't the system but has got much to do with the strict Chinese road regulations plus the mapping of the system according to Chinese standards. Manufacturers sometimes ignore mapping these standards to local ones and then they annoy a lot.
i wish you would also so a sine waves test at 110km. Maybe it sits ok at 100km. and I'm never going to be doing 130km.
The Omoda 5 will be brought to the UK and EU (though now available in Spain) with the 1.6 engine, but AWD won't be available here. This same car is also being sold in Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia, North Macedonia and Albania as the Chery FX (no AWD either).
Can you test the chery pro8 max
Kerd weight?
"No one needs enormous SUV's.." So Paul, how's your Hummer coming along??!!
It’s not an SUV.
Humvee* the Hummer is the version that comes with a purse and man-bun tie.
@@CarExpertAus tell 'em Paul😂😂
No one need an enormous SUV in the city. Finish the quote mate.
@@CarExpertAus Whats wrong with man buns?
I don’t think the lane centring test on a steeply banked road is valid. Our roads are not banked. The real test is on a normal road. Does it work there?
What is “kerd” weigh lol! 7:00
It's got a lot of inclusions for the price. It's also decently rapid. ... BUT... I suspect that - under the skin - it is not particularly robust. The videos circulating of an Omoda in Malaysia that lost its rear axle don't do its reputation a lot of good. The used car market for the 2WD Omoda is pretty awful, and I suspect that owners will feel very burnt if they go to trade it in after 3-4 years. (For example, after just two years, an Omoda has typically depreciated by half of the original purchase price).
Paying a bit more for a Mazda, Toyota or Nissan can pay off in the longer term!
Id like to know where people see these Cheap second hand Chinese cars? they still want top dollar for them here in Perth.
@@AMLagonda Is it perhaps a question of what they ask, vs what they get? On Carsales right now there is a range of GWM Cannon Utes advertising fairly cheap prices with quite low mileage. Although only two of them are in Perth that I can see.
@@RodneyW the only two cheap ones I see are both WOVR/ written off and repaired.
@@AMLagonda As I'm not in the market, I'm not spending the $2 necessary to check it! I expect that the Red Book data is based on some level of reality, but who knows in this crazy world?
Extra 0.1L engine size and AWD doesn’t deserve a GT badge 😂
Don't forget the red highlights and bigger brakes
you don't have to love Chinese car ,but they can really do something good for aussie, like make other brands cut prices,that will good enough for those toyota and honda lover
15:54 I see you!
6:58 We definitely need to know more about the *kerd* weight of more of the vehicles you review, Paul. 😅
I think the lane keeping assist was keeping it between the white and the black line in the lane. The black line was confusing the assist. When it did engage, it kept it between the white and black lines.
that jumper is from the 1980s
Love from India ❤
Paul you make no comment about the stop start system
My only disappointment of the car so far . There is no function to turn it off
Great review Paul.
You are very right about the lane keeping, lane tracing and lane centring of Chery. I actually watched this video to see your review of that part. Those are the weaknesses of the suv. In fact I believe ancap safety employees are compromised. I don’t know how they gave it five star rating with those issues. That vehicle shouldn’t be on the road with those issues in my opinion. I bought one of the suv immediately it was released and have never enjoyed it till now because of these issues. Have discussed with chery many times but nothing has been done so far. Maybe you should help point these to them. Is very frustrating to live with honesty. Thanks
Hi Paul, there’s an update for it now. I got mine updated yesterday, it now drives well.
Its Kerb weight not Kerd weight
Re some manufacturers not using led everywhere, I'd say they prioritize things like welding suspension components properly, over the LEDs for the $$
😂 assuming they HAD to choose only one
dun push the buck on Chinese car. its ur Malaysia workers negligence.
If the same car has Benz or BMW badge, there will be so many love comments. Because it’s a Chinese car, some people would hate it without even knowing it. This car looks pretty good - for its money and you get some many features others don’t offer.
IMO pretty much everything on the road is built like crap today. Besides a few select Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi models.
@@kylegriffiths5990you lost me at Toyota who have haven't update updated their design in 15 years in some models and wouldn't even recognise bad primer paint.
Well said!
@@kylegriffiths5990 If you say so
Hopefully BYD, MG, Chery, Great Wall etc. can drive down vehicle cost in Australia. If other companies can follow through, we can save hips. We have been riped off by the Japanese, Korean and American cars too long. The Chinese cars probably only make $1k profit per car, but our so called allies probably make at least $10 each car from us.
& Volvo is Chinese also.....but the price is still high
Volvo is not a Chinese brand... No problem with Chinese brands as long as consumers have a choice
The stupidity! Chinese car makers will loose money on cars to gain market share, push out the competition and then jack the prices up when they are gone! Why do people think it's such a crime for a car company to make money on a car!!! They are a business for goodness sakes and have huge running cost, and sorry that companies like Toyota and Ford actually pay there employees well and develop their own technology, unlike the Chinese companies who pay their employees nothing and just rip off all the quality car makers!!
@@markuc I agree if you don't like Chinese brand, you definitely have your choice. But I will save at least $10k if my next car is a Chinese brand, and my family can have a good holiday. My friends bought GW Cannon and he likes it. I don't want to be ripped off by those greey Japanese, American, Korean and European car companies any more.
Well Japanese pricing was fair pre Covid
Here is something you can do Paul, start putting some of these vehicles up on a hoist and show us the underside, those of us that actually have a modicum of understanding as to what makes a good machine would greatly appreciate such a view. You can do it separately to your mainstream videos if necessary, you don’t have to include it in your usual format. Especially off road, underbody protection and which components might be vulnerable are very important.
who's taking this offroad?
@@jamawl66 not this miserable vehicle, other ones. With this here heap I would be more keen to check out the quality of the welds and the suspension layout, and if it has been painted and sealed properly, all manner of things that can actually heavily impact how well it will last. Your car isn’t just how big the screen is and how fast does it go from 0-100.
@@rsoul7282go buy japanese lol. Hopefully this car in our market, would lower the price of the jap cars one day for us.
Ive seen videos of the Tank 300 on a hoist and that thing really is built like a tank, very solid.
Is this the same car where the rear axle just falls off?
AWD Omoda has a different, independent rear suspension, and that accident happened with a FWD car.
No, this is another car! I am sure they are fixing that one
yes
its ur Malaysia workers negligence. dun push the buck onto Chinese car.
Price of tuscon hyundai toyota rav4 nissan x trail is is almost 60.000 dollars what?you can Bay 2 omodas 5 evry 10 years you got a new suv 😂🤣
Yeah correct.
That’s the saying “buy cheap, buy twice”
Buy a Mazda, you’ll buy one and it’ll last.
Does this model come with the detachable suspension mod?
A number of these driving around China as two wheelers 😂
Turns into a motorbike?
9:38: "why would you have a system that is ineffective, that you're going to switch off anyway, to achieve a 5-star rating?"
Paul it's because ANCAP needs the funding to justify their existence (so much of their "work" nowadays cutting and pasting from NCAP results ...)
Very true! Taxpayer sapping company.
Really now?
Chinese cars are going to dominate Australian car market in next 5 years. Can't beat them on cost of manufacturing , US has already increased tariffs on them to protect their manufacturing. Great value for money as it seems when everything else is expensive.
This is not value for money.
And if that is true then Chinese makers will continue to increase their prices.
MG did it !
The comments highlight the diversity of a modern democracy, a true testament to all.
I completely agree. The first comment - I simply don't understand.
Yes democracy & diversity.....not communism & sensorship 👍👍
hopefully this one does not have rear axle welding issue like the one recently viral in Malaysia
Mum I want a Tucson.
No we have a Tucson at home!
The Tucson at home:
What are you smoking ? I want some.
These new chinese cars are looking really good! No clue about engine and transmission reliability though. Anyone got any ideas?
Because Chery's 1.6t engine is so powerful, it is as fuel-efficient as Japanese cars, and it does not burn oil like German cars. This engine comes with a lifetime warranty。The gearbox is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox provided by Magna. It has been verified around the world and the quality is very stable.
@@kindness-villainpowerful? Are you kidding? Judging by what you wrote and your pfp, you’re clearly a Chinese shill 👍these pos won’t last at all
@@iOokami_The Chery 1.6t engine has a power of 197 hp and a torque of 290 nm when using 92# gasoline, which exceeds the 2.0t engines of ordinary models of BMW and Volkswagen, and they must use 95# gasoline. For an idiot like you, you should learn more about mechanics.
If I can change the voice to male and name it Kit I am sold (yes, I am old).
Be careful, cherry omoda 5 in malaysia are facing troubles with more than 600+ cars call back for fixing. The front axle broke while driving on the road. Now the car has no value at all for trade in.
Horrific.
I wonder if Chery is a spelling mistake 🤔 (Cherry) 🍒
With a face only a mother could love 😢
100%
Rear suspension have they fix that
AWD Omoda has a different, independent rear suspension
@onelifenotenough still breaks off i seen omoda rear suspension falling off in south africa 2 of them 🤣🤣
theres a case in malaysia that the rear axel broke
@@onelifenotenough even Malaysia cases are increasing
@@toobiestoobies6271yes, and that accident happened with a FWD car, while AWD car has a completely different rear suspension
Looks ok design wise. Wouldnt call it a GT though lol they slap a GT badge on anything these days, same as "sporty" and the extremely overused word "aggressive".
From experinxe, I would not trust anything Chery. I bought a brand new car paying full price on my to find countless issies with it. This is in addition that the car was in recall. Had I know.n this I would have bout a second hand car of different model as it would be much better than a brand new Chery
The real question for the Chinese brands is how long does the car actually last. The feedback I’ve seen is that it’s not very long at all - so it could be as great a value as anything on the market but if it falls apart in two years that’s not good value at all
Please post your feedback source, if not your post has no value.
That grille looks gross, like a group of Barnacles.
what lol
If that was too floaty stay out of a Citroen! Bwah ha!
Slow
Slow? For a small SUV @40k? What are you comparing to?
You spelt sh1t wrong.
help me CARWOW🤣🤣
😂😂😂
This is priced pretty close to the CRV. Hard sell at this price, especially with a dct.
Nope public transport are cheap and safe enough for young ones instead of this high-powered Omoda 4wd; public transport isn't a luxury to keep vulnerable teens safe from a crash.
start a campaign against halogens
And piano black!
No.
Sure it's a car you can drive for 10years without any problems😂😂
Don’t buy. In Malaysia its whole rear axle came off! You can Google it. And Chery threatened to sue that lady, who is just driving at slow speed around a bend. And few reported brake related issues.
Chery spent a lot of money on influencer to try to change public opinion instead of admitting fault, but the issue did not die down.
Finally when the regulators step in, it was found that the rear axle only had 2 points soldered.
And finally had to recall 600 vehicles.’definitely not a car brand you can trust.
Great until there’s a warranty issue or parts are needed. With next to zero infrastructure in the country good luck!! As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. You won’t get honest reviews from people paid by the companies to do their advertising for them
Don't watch if you think is bought comments...then your problem solved 😅
Don’t like the design at all bit too busy for me.
Which mainstream car did the Chinese copy from this time ?
Peasants will continue to justify and defend 🤦♂️ acting like a car named chery is a flex 🤭 you got your cherry popped 🍒
I don't think they coppied any car this time 😬
@@mrgarrison3516 maybe it would of been better if they actually copied 🤭
@@mrgarrison3516 congrats they finally didn’t copy something for once time to celebrate, whip out your Pom poms and cheerleader skirt for China 🤣🤦♂️ silly dork.
Chery Omoda sounds like a cocktail in a gay bar. There are too many bullshit pointless inclusions.And that grill forget it.
Though doth protest too much? Deep down you love it
@stizzygrayson5541
No, 😊I'm not into self flagellation
What...
It's like everything is copying Mitsubishi headlight design now.
China domination
This thing is absolutely hideous. 😮
Lol gross car.
What really gets me about this fella that all the Expensive Cars he reviews he puts nothing bad downfalls on them and then when he reviews a pile of junk he'll be all happy and dandy about it, weird Asian boy Paul
😂 not even remotely true. Latest example…the creaky Porsche Cayenne we reviewed. Nice try, though.
😂
No Chinese vehicle for me!
Comment forwarded via a Chinese ph or laptop
Preach 👏 these Chinese shitboxes need to go
Heard the same in the 70s with Japanese cars , heard the same thing with Korean cars , Mercedes and BMW have been manufacturing in China for over 30 years
China is our adversary dude..
Nup, still couldn’t bring myself to buy one of these cheap chinese cars no matter how much junk they throw in.
about to go to war with china, buying chinese car....nice
This crappy car has made headline in Malaysian news recently after the rear axle detached due to poor welding connection 😂. Its mileage only registered hundreds of km. Currently the most avoided brand after this crappy and shamelful quality issues..
What an ugly looking car
Until the axles snap off. No thanks. 3 different incidents in 3 different markets that we know off. How many more will have their randomly axles snap off while driving? Yikes.
Japanese cars are and always will have the best engines and reliability! German cars have great styling but not the reliability of Japanese! Chinese cars are cheap and like anything that comes out of china thats cheap doesn't last so they have to prove themselves.
Remember you only get what you pay for.
I have shares in polestar and nio which are built in china and drive a lexus. A 15 year old lexus that has never broken down or had any mechanical part fitted apart from service parts. Will we be talking about Chinese cars in 15 years who knows time will tell.
