Common Problem
Build Quality Concerns
Approximately 600 Omoda 5 units were recalled for axle-related concerns, though many vehicles remain unaffected. Owners report mixed experiences with build quality, making pre-purchase inspections at authorized service centers advisable.
Interior Functionality
The infotainment system presents two common challenges:
- Touchscreen responsiveness issues
- Inadequate display brightness
While the cabin offers premium materials, the integration of climate controls into the touch interface has drawn criticism for reduced usability.
Driver Monitoring System
The eye-tracking safety feature demonstrates excessive sensitivity, particularly for:
- Eyeglass wearers
- Drivers with particular facial features
Although temporarily deactivatable, the system automatically reactivates upon vehicle restart. Some owners have disabled the camera physically, potentially triggering system warnings.
Driving Dynamics
Performance evaluations vary significantly:
- CVT transmission behavior divides opinion
- Steering feedback receives inconsistent feedback
When compared to rivals like the Proton X50, the Omoda 5 trades some handling precision for competitive pricing and upscale interior appointments.
Prospective Buyer Guidance
1. Conduct extended test drives focusing on:
- Transmission behavior
- Steering response
- Infotainment operation
2. Verify recall status through official channels
3. Compare against alternatives like the Mitsubishi Xforce
4. Secure comprehensive warranty documentation
