    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.

    I own the Chery Omoda Ex as a second rarely used car but can vouch for its quality and value for money. Not familiar with the FX but the price is killer!

    Edit: The FX is a grade below the BX.

    What happened the last time Chery was in Australia, they seemed to of disappeared for a few years, I don't see may older cars on the road either, admittedly the old ones you do see look like they are falling apart

    • coffeeinmyveins on 01/07/2024 - 20:56
      +7

      They left because they made unsafe cars and the Australian market stopped buying them

      Surprised they didn't at least try to change the name when they came back.

      • gakko on 01/07/2024 - 21:43

        This time they added a red line to their car so..

    • axlfan on 02/07/2024 - 13:39

      So Chery became a big player in China. They ended up building land rover and Jaguar cars for the Chinese market. Basically assembling kits sent from abroad.

      So I believe this has helped them make relatively better products

    • masterqur on 02/07/2024 - 15:21

      10 years ago China exported 0.8 million cars per year, now China export 5 million cars per year and still growing. Things have changed for Chinese cars both domestically and internationally.

    • masterqur on 02/07/2024 - 15:25

      For 1.5t models recommend fuel is 91, for the 1.6t Omoda GT and GT AWD 95 is recommended.

          the car has 108kW and 210Nm on a ~1,400kg chassis

          its already been tested… it pulls 9.5 for 0-100 which is about what you'd expect for small suv

          80-120 for overtake is 6.5 secs which is also fair

      facepalm.

      Yeah, and where's all the electricity going to come from to charge all these vehicles? What about old apartments that can't have that much power routed to them?

      The days of ICE cars are numbered, but it's not in single or even low double digit years.

      • 1st-Amendment on 02/07/2024 - 15:58

        This question was asked years ago and the people that asked were shouted down and labelled coal eaters. It's 2024 and this question still hasn't been answered.

        What about old apartments that can't have that much power routed to them?

          Considering why Chery left the Australian market last time, and the stories coming out of China from Chinese made cars where safety features just aren't deploying in major incidents, I wouldn't be driving one.

          But I look forward to being downvoted by the shills.

            Is there a source for their safety issues?

        https://www.ancap.com.au/safety-ratings/chery/omoda-5/b8a56a

        As for quality of the Chery cars themselves i guess i cant comment as they haven't been in the market long enough but and SUV with a good warrenty and all those features if probably 'worth' the gamble for struggling Australians esp families struggling with the insane cost of living crisis we are going though

    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.

  • BlasterBoy on 02/07/2024 - 08:25

    I had the joy of driving one of these as a rental not long ago…

    The touch screen stopped working and had to re-boot the infotainment system to get it working again, the control layout is very confusing.
    all the safety features were stupidly intrusive and annoying, the lane monitoring was stricter than the CCP! I had to shut it all down to keep sane.

    The ride was pretty woeful too, was both rough and floaty at the same time. My last car which was a slammed sports car had better compliance than this! But, it was hard to hear the sounds of the suspension crashing over the sound of the tyres…

    Boot was not huge, two carry on suit cases and two laptop bags is all it really held without taking the parcel shelf off.

    Nearly 1900kg with a 1.5L turbo… For that price you could get an i30, which would be better built, better resale, cheaper to run (both fuel and tyres) and nicer to drive.

    • PhatTofu on 02/07/2024 - 10:23

    The Internet's "996" overtime work trend has already spread to the automotive industry. First, CATL implemented the "896 work system", and then Chery Automobile was complained by employees for illegal overtime.

    Recently, some netizens broke the news that Chery Automobile's employees in Shanghai accused Chery Automobile of illegal overtime. Not only were they not paid overtime, but they were only given a 10 yuan meal allowance for overtime work of more than 3 hours a day. In order to cover up the fact of overtime, the overtime time of employees was even uniformly changed to 5 pm on the system.

    On July 1, several Chery Automobile employees revealed to Phoenix.com's "Eye of the Storm" that the above description is true. "Not only do we work overtime for free, but we also have to make overtime rankings every Monday, and some departments require a 99% attendance rate on Saturdays. Departments compare overtime hours, and those who fail to reach the overtime coefficient (load rate) will be notified." A Chery Automobile employee said.

    Li Ming is currently an employee at Chery Automobile's headquarters in Wuhu. He told Phoenix.com's "Eye of the Storm" that the normal working day is 8.5 hours. Taking July as an example, there are 23 working days in 31 days, and the normal working hours are 8.523=195.5 hours. The load factor is 1, and the load factor of 1.4 is required to pass, which is 195.51.4=273.7 hours. At least 273.7 hours were clocked in in July.
