From the outside, the 2025 Omoda 5 gets a new sharper DRL that’s integrated with a black bar that incorporates the Omoda (or in this case, Chery) badge. The love-or-hate-it grille with its trypophobia-inducing pattern has been changed as it cuts out the chrome-studded design for body-colored ones. The front bumper has been reprofiled, while at each corner are new 18-inch alloy wheels with red-colored brake calipers.

In terms of driving dynamics, the 2025 Omoda (Chery) C5 receives a new independent multi-link rear suspension as well as a six-speed dual clutch that replaces the current CVT gearbox. Front acoustic glass further improves its NVH isolation.

Inside, the same basic cabin remains, but engineers were able to carve out a bigger cargo hold growing it to 370 liters.

Available features include dual 10.25-inch screens with wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 50-watt device charger, sunroof, power tailgate, and dual zone climate control with rear vents. As for safety, it gets 7 SRS airbags, a 360-degree camera, and a full suite of ADAS.

With Omoda & Jaecoo just starting its retail sales in the Philippines, it’ll take a while for the refreshed Omoda C5 to arrive locally. Expect it to arrive, at the earliest, perhaps by late this year as a 2026 model year refresh.
