Some variants offer a 64-color ambient lighting system, digital key via smartphone, and OTA updates. It’s clearly designed for drivers who value connectivity and convenience.
Design is the C5’s strongest suit. It sports a sharp, coupe-like silhouette with split-type LED headlights, a bold diamond-pattern grille, and sleek body lines. High ground clearance and muscular wheel arches give it an SUV stance, while available two-tone paint and 18-inch alloys boost its street appeal. It’s a car that draws attention wherever it goes.
Inside, the Omoda C5 feels more upmarket than its price tag suggests. The cabin is tech-centric, with dual 10.25-inch screens for infotainment and the digital gauge cluster. You get a flat-bottom steering wheel, leather-style seats, customizable ambient lighting, and a floating center console with premium touches. Rear legroom is decent for its size, and the cargo area is practical enough for everyday errands or road trips.
Omoda has equipped the C5 with an impressive safety suite. It includes six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, traction control, and hill start assist. Higher trims feature advanced driver aids like lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking—giving it an edge in active safety.
