The Chery Omoda 5 facelift is now launched in Indonesia, and it gets a new name there – Chery C5, with the Omoda sub-branding dropped. The facelifted B-segment SUV first surfaced in Russia in September 2024, and has since entered right-hand-drive markets like Australia.
The ‘Cross F Future’ C5 sports a fresh face that combines sleeker, E5 EV-style arrow-shaped LED daytime running light ‘eyebrows’, joined together by a black bar with – confusingly – the Omoda script logo. Below this, the bumper has been re-profiled to have an X-shape, while the original car’s chrome-studded grille makes way for body-coloured squares. Like what you see?
No changes to the C5’s rear, which also has Omoda badging. There’s also a new design for the alloys, which are 17-inch on the entry Z and 18-inch on the top RZ, which also comes with a panoramic sunroof. By the way, there are no more red accents all around the car’s exterior and wheels. Red Ruby is a new colour.
No changes inside, but the spec sheet gets a PM 0.3 ‘ultra-efficient’ filter and ‘Internet Of Vehicle’ (IOV) capabilities. The ADAS suite gets traffic jam assist and intelligent avoidance system.
While the Omoda 5’s 1.5-litre turbo-four with 145 hp and 230 Nm is retained, the engine gets a new gearbox partner in the form of a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, which replaces the old CVT. Elsewhere, the Omoda 5 was also available with a 197 PS/290 Nm 1.6-litre turbo-four and seven-speed DCT combo. The suspension has been improved – the rear now gets a multi-link set-up instead of a torsion beam.
The Chery C5 is priced at Rp 319.9 juta (RM83,413) for the Z spec and Rp 349.9 juta (RM91,235) for the top RZ. An ‘exclusive promo’ bundles in a 10-year or one-million km engine warranty, six-year or 150,000 km vehicle warranty and four-year or 60,000 km free service and spare parts.
What do you think of the Omoda 5 facelift’s new look and technical improvements? Perhaps this is also coming to Malaysia soon, and under the Chery brand instead of the more upmarket Omoda | Jaecoo spinoff.
