On October 25th, Geleximco Corporation, a partner of Chery (China), unexpectedly organized a display of three models, Omoda 5, Omoda S5, and Jaecoo 7, to gauge the reaction of Vietnamese customers.
These are all models that have been confirmed for distribution in our market, but there is no specific information about the launch date.
Omoda 5
Omoda 5 is positioned in the B-segment SUV/CUV, with dimensions of 4,400 x 1,830 x 1,588 mm. This is the most vibrant segment in the Vietnamese market with a series of popular names like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Honda HR-V or Toyota Corolla Cross.
The appearance of Omoda 5 is youthful, sporty, and modern. The prominent feature at the front of the car is a large-sized grille with a combination of LED position lights and a two-tier headlight cluster. At the rear, there is a horizontally-aligned taillight and two rectangular-shaped faux exhaust pipes positioned quite high.
