Chery has officially unveiled the facelifted Omoda 5, with Russia as the launch market. The updated model retains the original design but features a new grille, flatter LED daytime running lights, and redesigned 18-inch wheels. The interior remains largely unchanged, with dual 10.25-inch screens for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. Powertrain options include a 1.5T engine with 147 PS and 230 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT transmission, and a 1.6T engine for the GT version with 197 PS and 290 Nm of torque. The GT version is not available in China. Given that the Omoda 5 has been on the market for nearly two years, a facelifted version is expected to be introduced to maintain competitiveness, though this may come after the launch of the Tiggo 4 Pro/Tiggo Cross.
