Reviewer's opinion

"The Omoda C5 is an attractive and technology-filled package that comes at the right price. Backed by an impressive 5-year/150 000 km warranty, 5-year/70 000 km service plan and that amazing 10-year/1 000 000 km engine warranty (for the first owner), it's a difficult package to ignore. It's not without its faults but these may very well be elements that don't bother you. If you're looking for a statement piece, the Omoda C5 is worth taking a closer look at."
