[PCauto] Chery Malaysia has officially announced that the all-new Omoda O5 is now available for pre-order. According to official information, the new car is expected to be officially launched within this month, and consumers can place pre-orders through the nationwide authorized dealer network.
The Transmission System Has Been Changed from CVT to DCT
As a facelift model of the Omoda 5, the Omoda O5 achieves significant upgrades in terms of transmission. The new car continues to be equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine but replaces the CVT transmission with a dual-clutch transmission.
This change maintains the maximum output power at 156 horsepower, with a peak torque of 230Nm, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is expected to be shortened to around 9 seconds, approximately a 1-second improvement compared to the pre-facelift model. The optimization of the transmission system significantly enhances the vehicle's dynamic response performance.
Omoda O5 Adopts a Brand New Design
In terms of exterior design, the Omoda O5 features a completely new front-end design. The slender E5 EV-style arrow-shaped LED daytime running lights, combined with the OMODA lettering running across the front, create striking visual characteristics. The X-shaped front bumper and newly designed 18-inch alloy wheels further emphasize the sporty aesthetics of the vehicle.
The body size maintains a compact SUV positioning, occupying the same segment as key competitors like the Proton X50, Honda HR-V, and Toyota Corolla Cross.
Interior Upgrades Focus on Technology and Comfort
The Omoda O5 is equipped with a 20.5-inch integrated dual-screen system, integrating a full-digital instrument cluster and central control display, with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity.
The cabin features seats covered in synthetic leather with added ventilation function, and is equipped with a wireless charging panel, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, and a Sony audio system.
Details also include enhanced features such as ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof to elevate the luxury feel.
About the Safety of the Omoda O5
The Omoda O5 has received a five-star safety rating certification from ASEAN NCAP. The vehicle comes standard with six airbags and an L2-level ADAS driving assistance system, including automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.
Of particular note is the newly added 540-degree panoramic imaging system, which uses multi-camera fusion technology to provide the driver with a more comprehensive perception of the surrounding environment.
The Omoda O5 is expected to be priced in the range of 100,000-120,000 MYR. This pricing position places it in direct competition with key competitors.
Chery Malaysia has also announced a five-year unlimited mileage warranty policy and has established over 50 after-sales service outlets nationwide to provide comprehensive after-sales support for consumers.
Chery plans to host an offline launch event this month and organize media test drive activities. Potential customers can register through official channels to participate in the new car experience.
Since its return to the Malaysian market in July 2023, Chery's Omoda series has become an important sales pillar for the brand. With the introduction of more new models, Chery Malaysia is building a complete product lineup.

Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Why is the Toyota Sienna so popular with so many people?
In Malaysia, most family MPVs choose Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, or Kia Carnival. These models each have their advantages in luxury, space, or brand influence, but models that truly balance large space, multifunctional practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability are rarely seen.
