2025 Chery Omoda 5 Facelift: Subtle Design Tweaks for a Sleeker Look

The Chery Omoda 5 has undergone a subtle facelift that refines its design, making it even more elegant and sleek. This updated model, which has already made its debut in markets like Mexico and Russia, brings a more refined look to this popular small SUV, and it's now available at Tynan Chery Wollongong for those seeking a stylish and affordable compact SUV.

A More Elegant Front-End Design

One of the standout changes to the 2025 Omoda 5 is the revised front-end styling. The intricate grille has been reworked to feature a thinner and more elegant three-dimensional pattern. Gone is the chrome of the previous model, replaced with body-colored square elements, which gives it a more refined appearance.

The updated model also includes slimmer, longer LED daytime running lights, which align the petrol-powered Omoda 5 more closely with the electric Omoda E5, offering a more modern and cohesive look. Below the lights, the headlights are now visually separated from the central air intake, which has been enlarged for a more dynamic presence.

The Omoda wordmark now sits proudly on a strip of trim between the LED daytime running lights, further enhancing its brand identity.

Updated Styling and Trim

While the front-end gets a fresh look, the rear-end of the Omoda 5 remains unchanged. Inside the cabin, it's the same story—there are no major changes to the interior layout or technology. However, the facelifted model does feature some subtle updates, including new alloy wheel designs and revised door moldings.

Red accents that were featured on the top-spec EX variant in the pre-facelift model, including on the doors, mirrors, and wheels, have been removed for a cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic.

Mechanical Specifications: Power and Performance

The 2025 Omoda 5 continues to be powered by turbocharged petrol engines, with two engine options available in Australia:

• 1.5-litre turbocharged engine: Delivers 108kW of power and 210Nm of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive.
• 1.6-litre turbocharged engine (now discontinued in Australia): Previously offered with all-wheel drive, but this option has been axed locally, reflecting the shift in consumer demand.

Although the Omoda 5’s mechanical setup remains the same, the removal of the larger engine option has led to the downscaling of the range in Australia, making the more efficient 1.5-litre turbo engine the sole option.

Chery Omoda 5's Success in Australia

Since its launch in 2023, the Chery Omoda 5 has gained significant popularity, delivering 6162 units in Australia last year. This marked an impressive 14.7% increase over the previous year, outperforming established rivals like the Honda HR-V, Toyota C-HR, and Suzuki Vitara.

Despite its success, the Omoda 5 still trails behind some of the larger-selling small SUVs like the MG ZS and Hyundai Kona. However, with the arrival of the newly launched Tiggo 4 Pro, which already accounted for over half of Chery’s deliveries in early 2025, the Omoda 5 faces fresh competition in the compact SUV market.
