Is it fixed? Chery Omoda 5 2023 review: EX | Updated Kia Seltos rival attempts to improve steering

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The 2023 Chery Omoda 5 launched to media earlier this year to high interest, as it signalled the Chinese brand's re-entry to the Australian market. But things didn't exactly go to plan, as the new small SUV had some niggling issues.
Specifically, among other things, the Kia Seltos rival's steering assist system wasn't up to the safety par, so much so that Chery updated the Omoda 5 locally before customer deliveries actually began - and this is our first taste of it.
In this expert review, CarsGuide Journalist Chris Thompson spends a week with the updated Omoda 5's flagship EX variant to see if it steers better than it did when we first encountered it. He also delivers his overall verdict on the crossover, which could become a familiar sight soon.

    Perhaps the suspension tune is exactly what many people who buy this car want. Instead of these so called testers saying that Chinese cars need an Australian suspension tune why not say they personally like a more bolted down sporty tune. As people age they like their surroundings to be a bit more sublime.

    Poor braking distance of over 40m for 100km/h to stop. Humongous amount of nose dive during braking, even relative to the comfy family SUV segments. The suspension tuning poses safety concern, need seriously complete rework.

    I own and drive it, and in city average consumption for ECO mode is 8.6L / 100KM. Still bellow what chery promised, but not that bad. Recommended RON is min 91, but i personally use 92, since that's what available in my country

    @@nishitanishad5576 i personally would recommend it base on what you get for what you pay. Definitely a much better deal compared to an offer from other brands. The engine might not be very efficient in term of consumption, but it's very powerful. You barely need to press down the pedal to hit 100-120kph. It's feature packed if purchased in highest trim, mind you that it might overwhelm at the beginning, to learn and set every function of the car, but once settled it's rewarding. As for negatives, some reliability concern remain, i suggest not to park for long period under sun in hot weather without putting sunshade on the windshield, some users reporting that their dash and headunit refuse to turn on after doing so. (it works again after cooling down for a while tho), others reporting brake sensor lit up when the brake is heat up, but in my case, it's due to low brake fluid pressure (the factory miss to tighten my brake fluid tank cap to corect degree - once tighten, the error never coming back). Safety is on highest level with 5 star of NCAP, but the ADAS might have it's quirk. I suggest you to do a full ADAS calibration at dealership upon purchase, else it might throw an error when you bring full passengers (due to elevated angle of the radar when the car is fully loaded at rear) - it never give error once calibrated. Also depending on ypur country, ypu might want to fill with premium gas, because in some country, even with higher RON it can produce knocking. If you face bad knockinh situation, chery is offering free ECU remap program, with a catch of ECO mode being slightly more sluggish. I think it's designed for a spirited driving from factory, thus an early "gear shifting" to higher one while.still in low RPM in ECO mode might trigger the knocking case. It only happen to several car btw. Overall, i enjoy my purchase very much. I enrich my entertainment system with Android Box as well, so that i can have an advance system monitoring through OBDII directly connected to my head unit along with full Netflix, and KZread capability.

    There's one thing i would like to add, i dont know whether it's region based or software update things but my omoda has as option to remember the driving assistant features state (on / off), so that it doesn't keep reverting back to default upon restart - like what the reviewer said in this video i think for this kind of modern car where it has it's own CPU/processing software, it would be better if the reviewer also stating the car "firmware version"
