    Would it have killed them to stick another "r" in their name? Drives me nuts

      I guess you’re only getting part of a car when you buy one hence the shorter name

        I didn't realise they charged by letter now! That explains a lot. Going to go with a BYD then, even less letters :^)

              @OZBMate8911: FYI

              the reason its called "CHERY" is that its a knock off of CHEVY

              ie,. Chevrolet

              anyway i had a look at the brochure and spec and i think this will kill the under $30k market

              why??

              because you get a lot of features for the money

              this car is usuable for a family… it has ok boot space

              it has a HEAP of features like keyless AND remote start

              the interior looks nice

              it has electric seats, Sony 8 spk, carplay AA, dual 10" screens, full safety and driver assists

              its not a stripped out council toilet like a every other base sub $30k shitter

              will it last? who gives a shit - sell it at the 5yr mark when it still has 2yrs left

                @tonyjzx: Don’t think so buddy,

                Yin Tongyue, then a technical director proposed the name "Qirui" (Chinese: 奇瑞) in 1998, which means "unexpected and auspicious". Later, this name was romanised as Chery (initially "Cheery" during the 1999 brand launch).

                The depreciation on this one would be quite large due to low resale value, no one wants to buy a 5 year old one.

                • tonyjzx on 01/07/2024 - 20:48

                  @DmytroP: i'd put it to you any car that you bought for $27,990 today is going to be worth shit in 2030….

                    Or buy a Mazda2/Yaris and keep driving it until you kill 2-3 Omodas in their lifetime.

                      @nepalicurryinahurry: Beloved's 2004 yaris is up to 330K. I've done the maintenance the last 15 years…. which has been fluids and filters, and putting in about 6 ignition coils from the wreckers (being a 4 cylinder, no…not at the same time)
                      Mechanically, I reckon it drives as if it's new. Has a bit of cancer on the clear topcoat, so maybe a bit of vinyl wrap coming some time.
                      The only hiccups have been due to beloved's racing meerkat driving style… slamming tyres into kerbs.
                      (the thing must have done more than 4 billion gear changes in that time, as she uses the gear lever like an egg beater when on a road with bends…drives me quackers if I'm trapped in it)

        While I think beauty is in the eye of beholder, the red lines on I some of the exterior of some of the range look a tad too douchey for my taste

        The exterior is quite divisive, but the interior looks fine. Someone posted that the interior is horrendously ugly. If this is still considered ugly, I'd like to know what you drive.

      • Brianqpr on 01/07/2024 - 21:14

        I actually quite like the design, particularly outside. Different from the boxy, dated look of other budget brands like MG and Haval.

      . What's the catch?

      Where it's made?

      This is the problem with Chery and other Chinese automakers. The specs look ok but you cannot compare them to Japanese cars at all. It's not about how big the touchscreen is or how it looks on the outside.

      I've driven one of these. The ride quality is horrible, like a car 25 years old that's been driven 300,000km. And the quality of the interior is very very low.

      • ASPIEvil on 01/07/2024 - 21:19

        Completely nonsense. I've driven some current generation Chinese cars and their interiors all far exceed their Japanese counterparts. In my opinion interior design where Chinese cars excel…

          Chinese cars and their interiors all far exceed their Japanese counterparts

          Yeah, nah, not happening.

          Are they getting better? sure
          Are they at the level of Mazda, Toyota, Subaru? Absolutely not

      • rooster7777 on 01/07/2024 - 22:06

        There are a lot of princesses that moan about the cost of living and housing being unaffordable, while expecting to buy something the same standard as their parent's final residence…. I know that's not you…. but when people listen to crap like this it can lead them into delusional expectations.

        Form over fashion is a solid basis for general purchases….. even for your underdacks, that few hopefully ever see.

        Stuff like fancy watches, gold rings, air bnbs and the like aren't really the essentials of life for most folks…. except perhaps for the worldwide sloan ranger movement.

        In an earlier post on this thread I referred to my beloved's 2004 yaris… not quite 25 years old, but over 300K. Still running like new with insignificant maintenance required, done at sod all cost by a relatively unskilled mechanic. I've owned and driven a lot of vehicles (admittedly vehicles costing less than $100K) , and it drives fine. The difference in ride quality between a (good condition) 50 year old car, and a 25 year old car…. is a lot greater than a 25 year old to a contemporary car, but it didn't kill the occupants. (apart from accidents of course)

        If people with fantastic expectations of quality/ fashion status ever lose the ability to maintain it (loss of money stream/ employment etc) what are they going to do…top themselves in shame because they can no longer afford something worthy of their status? People can and do live comfortably and happily without the final 10% or 30% of luxury.

        Is it ironic that many ozbargain posters appear to have significant disposable wealth, combined with a drive for the ultimate in form/fashion/status stakes, with anything below lofty standards being unacceptable? I mean… I'm all for a bargain, but I'd much rather have a broad range of useful devices/tools/assets of adequate quality, rather than bleed myself out for a select few which can truly reflect my appreciation of fine art.

        You are talking out ya butt. I had a Rav4 Hybrid Cruiser - Top of the range, it was a 'meh' at best. Actively annoying in many aspects (some of which have been fixed on new models but it now also costs 15k more)

    Other Chery Models have Rear Collision Warning - it will flash the hazards if radar sensors detect vehicles approaching from behind at too high of a closing speed.

    Example

    I've only come across one Tiggo 7 where I've been able to try activating it on their car but wasn't able to, but can see from this brochure confirms that AU models should have RCW.

    Can anyone confirm they have done this successfully, or if the Omoda 5 has this feature?
    The linked spec sheet for Omoda 5 doesn't say but other listings for this car do make reference to it.

    A distinctive face that can’t be missed
    The avant-garde face of the Omoda 5 combines a gradient grid and
    diamond pattern to create a 3D effect, embodying the technology and
    future-oriented principles of its design. You'll agree it's horrendous.

  • BlackMonk on 01/07/2024 - 22:45

    In February 2024, Chery Australia issued a safety recall of 5,901 units of the Omoda 5 due to a manufacturing defect. The bolt securing the brake pipe union may not have been tightened sufficiently which could cause the brake fluid to leak and result in reduced braking performance.

    LOL, I’m laughing at all those who will buy this car…
