Omoda PH to launch Omoda 5 as initial offering

Following the announcement of its official launch within 2023, Omoda Philippines confirmed that it is set to field the Omoda 5 as its initial offering in the country.

In a statement, the company shared that the nameplate will be unveiled in the latter part of the year in time for the brand’s official introduction locally.

Per Omoda Philippines, the forthcoming model will integrate the characteristics of vehicles from different categories: the space of a multi-purpose vehicle, the chassis of a sport utility vehicle, as well as the handling and comfort of a sedan.

Customers who will wait and eventually get the upcoming Omoda 5 can expect the following amenities such as dual 10.25-inch screens, a 4.0 human-machine interface system and advanced driver-assistance system, which covers 16 safe driving assistance functions and boasts a comprehensive intelligent technology system.

Based on the global brand’s website, the Omoda 5 is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine matched to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission. The powertrain has the capability to deliver 197 horsepower and pulling power of 290Nm.

What does Omoda mean?

Per Omoda Philippines, the brand is based on two words.

The initial letter in the marque (which is also derived from Oxygen, a necessary element of life) indicates surprise, positivity and energy. On the other hand, Moda mean’s modern and fashionable.

“As a brand, Omoda promises to deliver vehicles with sleek exterior styling and high-tech features,” Omoda Philippines noted.

To note, the aforementioned marque is a sub-brand of the Chery Group. While that is the case in the global scale, Omoda Philippines might be working independently with Chery’s distributor in the country, United Asia Automotive Group Incorporated.

Meanwhile, Omoda Philippines assured that the public can expect more products from the brand soon.
