With the Omoda being a sub-brand of Chinese brand Chery, there will inevitably be quite a lot of parts sharing, and when it comes to the engine that is no different but what type of engines are available in the new Omoda range?

What is the cheapest Omoda you can buy?

 

Power core

The Omoda C5 is only available with one current engine option: the 1.5l turbo petrol engine that delivers 115 kW and 230 Nm that it shares with the Chery range. Chery has yet to confirm if there are plans for a diesel engine option in the future. If the Omoda is your kind of flavour, but you need to sell your old car first, why not try Instant Offer?
