2024 OMODA 5 bags five-star Euro NCAP safety rating

The 2024 OMODA 5, available in both internal combustion engine and battery electric versions, has recently achieved a remarkable feat by securing the highest safety rating, a five-star Euro NCAP rating. This achievement is the result of Omoda's unwavering dedication to user safety and its commitment to quality throughout the design and manufacturing process.

OMODA's success in crash safety can be attributed to its focus on user interests and its pursuit of excellence in research and development. Their cutting-edge "super factory" takes advantage of almost fully automated assembly processes, ensuring consistent levels of build quality for every OMODA 5 produced. Moreover, the company has invested in an in-house crash facility that can conduct rigorous crash simulations at various angles and speeds, helping them fine-tune the vehicle's safety features.

Right from the outset of the OMODA 5's development, safety was integrated into its design, making it well-prepared to excel in safety tests across different markets. The use of 78 percent high-strength steel in its construction further bolsters its safety credentials. The crash structure is meticulously engineered to withstand collisions without undergoing deformation, offering robust protection to occupants in case of an accident. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with an impressive array of safety features, including seven SRS airbags that envelop passengers from all directions.

For the Philippine market, the OMODA 5 comes with a comprehensive suite of 13 Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS). These advanced systems encompass a range of safety features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, Intelligent High Beam Assist, Traffic Jam Assist, Integrated Cruise Assist, Emergency Lane Keeping System, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Assist with Emergency Braking. This wide array of ADAS technologies empowers drivers with the tools they need to navigate roads safely and confidently.

Enthusiasts in the Philippine market can look forward to the arrival of the OMODA 5 1.5 Turbo, expected to make its debut in the fourth quarter of 2023. With a projected price of below P 1.5 million, the OMODA 5 promises to combine affordability with cutting-edge safety and technology features, making it an attractive option for safety-conscious consumers.
