Bike space
Regarding fashionable city crossovers, the Omoda C5 from Chinese automaker Chery sits atop the pile. With a futuristic and modern design, high levels of tech and features, as well as a comfortable interior, the C5 is the must-have city crossover for the forward-thinking family.

With external dimensions of 4.4 m long, 1.83 m wide and a height of 1.59 m, the Omoda employs very clever internal packaging of its interior space to give its occupants the maximum allowable room. But what of the owners who have an active lifestyle and may want to transport a bicycle? Can you fit a full-frame bike inside the C5? We find out
Pack it up
The Omoda C5 has a boot space of 378l, which can be further expanded to 1075l by dropping the 60:40 rear seat. Once you have the maximum space, you can remove the bicycle's front wheel and fit it inside. We, however, do not recommend this, as any misstep could damage the interior trimmings.
We highly recommend acquiring a rear or roof-mounted bike rack system like the ones available from Thule.
