Which Omoda should I buy?

If you’re searching for something unique and affordable on the market, Omoda’s lineup has two crossovers worth checking out. Made up of the C5 and the E5 EV, the brand’s current stable may only include two models for now, but each delivers a distinctly different driving experience. Here’s a handy guide to help you decide which Omoda crossover best fits your budget, lifestyle, and everyday needs.

The C5 is the most affordable crossover in the Omoda lineup, with a starting price of P1,159,000 for the C5 Comfort. Affordable but not devoid of features, the C5 is packing all of the creature comforts you expect from a modern crossover without overextending your budget.

Starting with the interior, the C5 comes with dual 10.25-inch screens for the infotainment and instrument cluster as standard. Also standard is the addition of leather+textile upholstery, intelligent voice control, and a 50W wireless charger up front. Standard safety equipment consists of six airbags and a 360-degree camera. Stepping up to the Luxury variant gets you more goodies with only a slight increase in price. Upgrades include full leather upholstery, a sunroof, an electric tailgate, ventilated seats, and an eight-speaker Sony sound system. Safety features also get an upgrade in the form of advanced driver aids for the Luxury variant.

What makes the C5 move is a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine putting out 154 hp and 230 Nm of torque paired to a CVT delivering power to the front wheels. Stopping power comes from a set of disc brakes on all four wheels.

The Omoda C5 is a solid choice for those looking to upgrade their ride without stretching the budget. It’s a feature-packed crossover with standout styling and enough space to stay practical for daily use. Backed by a seven-year or 200,000 km vehicle warranty, plus a 10-year engine warranty, it also offers added peace of mind and an ownership experience that’s easy on the wallet.

The E5 is Omoda’s fully electric crossover, offering a compelling EV alternative for buyers looking to step into electrified driving without breaking the bank. Positioned above the C5 in terms of technology and performance, the E5 brings a suite of modern features and a confident electric range to the table.

Inside, the E5 greets drivers with a tech-forward cabin led by dual 12.3-inch screens for the infotainment system and digital instrument cluster, along with a heads-up display for key driving info. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, as does a 50W wireless charger and ambient lighting that helps set the mood. Ventilated seats, an eight-speaker Sony sound system, and a powered sunroof elevate comfort and convenience for daily use. Safety features include seven airbags, a 360-degree camera with under-chassis view, and 17 advanced driver assist features.

On the road, the E5’s electric motor produces 201 hp and 340 Nm of torque, giving it brisk acceleration and smooth power delivery typical of EVs. The 61-kWh battery pack delivers up to about 430 km of range on the WLTP cycle, and fast-charging capability lets you go from roughly 30 percent to 80 percent in about 28 minutes at suitable DC stations.

With a starting price of P1,699,000, the Omoda E5 makes a strong case for going electric. It’s packed with tech, easy to live with every day, and offers a cleaner way to get around without giving up style or convenience.

It also comes with a seven-year or 200,000 km vehicle warranty, along with an eight-year battery warranty, so you can enjoy the EV lifestyle with extra peace of mind and fewer worries about long-term ownership costs.
