Chery Malaysia says that it has sold 3,000 units of the Chery Omoda 5 in the 10 days after its launch. The Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro made their official debuts along with the Chery brand’s relaunch on July 6.
The strong initial response to the B-segment SUV with bold styling ‘surpassed expectations’ and ‘is a testament to the strong market demand and customer confidence in Chery Malaysia’s product offerings,’ the local arm of the Wuhu-based carmaker said in a statement.
With this, the early bird offer of a complimentary 10-year, one million km engine warranty is over, and the engine warranty falls in line with the standard car warranty, which is pretty lengthy too at seven years or 150,000 km. There’s also a five-year maintenance package which gives free labour (excluding parts) for every alternate service. If you really must have the 10-year, one million km engine warranty, top up RM2,000.
The Omoda 5, which is around the Honda HR-V’s size (the Chery is 70 mm longer and 40 mm wider), is powered by a 1.5 litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 156 hp and 230 Nm of torque. Drive goes to the front wheels via a CVT with nine virtual ratios.
Two variants of the Omoda 5 are available – the C at RM108,800 and the H that sells for RM118,800. There are three colour options – grey, black and white – and a black roof is optional on the white car (H only) for an extra RM2,000. The CKD range tops out at RM120,800.
Chery Malaysia says that it currently has a network of 23 ‘ready to serve’ showrooms and another eight more outlets to be completed by the end of August, making it 31 in total. The after-sales network also includes 22 service centres with ‘spare parts readiness strategically located across Peninsular and East Malaysia’.
“As an automotive manufacturer with extensive manufacturing experience and innovative capabilities, Chery is dedicated to delivering high-quality products that meet the needs of Malaysian consumers. We place utmost emphasis on product quality, safety, and performance, continuously innovating and improving our technologies to stay ahead of market demands,” said Leo Chen, Chery Malaysia’s executive VP.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
COngrats to chery for bringing new tech & exciting products. Hope Malaysia no longer hv to live with those UNCLE T car!!!
or those ah beng brand H cars!
But still prefer to buy T car because of proven reliability and better aftersales. Corolla Cross is also C segment where can’t compare with Omada 5
Toyota give you 10 years warranty? Nowadays cars from China is better than Japan. Even Japanese EV research engineers got blown away after they tore down the BYD. They surrender with white flag. Now all EV from Japan will follow BYD’s standard manufacturing
And hopefully bring down the price of vehicles here in Malaysia, with more competitive pricing.
chery’s brand has low resale value. it goes the same with BYD. for better resale value, it is advisable to get the Tesla instead.
resale value – malaysia’s worse curse.
it is like marrying a wife with the intention to divorce her, all in advance.
People always upgrade and change cars. Resale value should be considered.
so in between car changes, you will be miserable with the high-resale car that you dislike. Self torture. Bodoh.
resale value is like buying shares and stocks.
If there is no demand to used cars, then all cars also no resale value. in short, YOU determine the resale value of a car.
Personally I wont buy used cars that has high resale value, because its simply idiotic to do so. When buying used cars, always go for those with low resale value so I pay less and get much better value for each ringgit.
Marrying a wife is life time commitment, owning a car is just a part of your life, u may own more than 5 cars in ur life
Cant blame an idiot like you, single and pity life, drive a 30 years old car, DIY with the exhaust pipe, if you know what I mean :)
THANK YOU!! I could not agree more on your statement. They have such a weird mentality
Tesla SA working hard. Totally different segment of car being offer by testa and Chery.
Least braindead tesla bootlicker
resale value has caused me misery for 5 years with a myvi. I listened to the internet and purchased a myvi so I can resell it later at a better price. but that 5 years of my life, i cannot get back. I hated every minute of driving the myvi. The car I wanted back then was the Ford Fiesta. People say dont buy the Ford because poor resale value, but damn I regret it for listening. Worst 5 years of my life driving a myvi when I could have enjoyed it all with the car I liked. The hell with resale value.
This is car for all who want to wait for spare part make sure carry water with you in case your pants catch fire
That’s 3K worth of HRV sales.
Or X50 sales.
Wow! That’s still a pretty good deal, despite 2k premium for 1mil engine warranty for 3001 customer onwards.
120k for Omada full spec Vs 110k Honda WRV RS which one makes your money worth.
108K punya spec pun dah jauh lagi high spec banding WRV. HRV sekali pun
I suppose you need to service your car with Chery for 10 years during the warranty period.
3000 units sold?
Somehow I don’t believe it.
Something fishy….maybe the buy back all those car to quickly finish the 1m km warranty stock…and quickly add 2k on the car price….hehehe….
Nowadays spin is common……!!!
You know very well when the deal is too good to be true, especially from China , there will be setbacks. I’m just stating the obvious
I really wanted to go test drive last week. Then changed my mind when I saw the results for “Chery Reliability” on Google
That…..is the initial batch of buyers that were waiting for it. Wait for the sales figures in the coming months to see if they can sustain their monthly sales. Anyhow I wish them all the best. I hope their products stand the test of time and they have enough spare parts for their customers….unlike a certain China brand that starts with the letter G.
What good does 1,000,000km engine warranty do when the transmission is not included into it.
Can PT team please foind out the fine print of the 1 million KM warranty? The dos and don’t, eligible and not eligible, whats covered whats not?
Cars have nothing to do with wife. You can buy and sell anytime you want. For those who like to change often, resale value is definitely a concern. Stop equating it to a wife/mother/father etc.
why buy and use a car you dislike EVERYDAY just so you can get slightly better resale value after many years? Life is short. Get the car you want and like, enjoy every day with it.
Booking not sold yet. Pending loan approval for majority of booking.
Wah tested this car. Really shiok. you guys should go test drive it. No joke. Worth it la. Kereta Jepun can tepi jalan. You get so much for the money.
Care to elaborate more on your experience here brother? I would like to know more about it.
