CKD Chery Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro deliveries begin

Chery Malaysia says that it has started customer deliveries of the Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro SUVs, which are locally assembled in Kulim, Kedah. Launched in July, CKD production started in the following month and pre-delivery inspection (PDI) for the first batch was done by the end of August.

Chery says that it has a “comprehensive approach that encompasses a series of proactive measures designed to guarantee the excellence of every vehicle before it reaches our customers,” and the centre of this is the PDI process. The company says that it has multiple rounds of PDI checks on areas such as the mechanical components, safety features and aesthetic details.

“Chery has been accelerating progress in various aspects in Malaysia, from production line standards to dealer process standardisation, from spare parts inventory to the establishment of after-sales service centres, ensuring both product quality and service excellence,” said Leo Chen, executive VP of Chery Malaysia.

The returning brand has even found time to conduct environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities. To celebrate Malaysia Day, Chery joined a group of young people from a Malaysian university in a public beach cleanup at Port Klang.

“Our planet’s well-being is a responsibility we all share, and as part of our commitment to environmental sustainability, we are thrilled to be part of this beach cleanup campaign. It’s a chance for us to give back to our community and protect the natural beauty of Malaysia’s ocean,” said VP Lee Wen Hsiang.

We’ve covered Chery’s comeback extensively, from an exclusive in December 2021 that broke the news of the company’s re-entry to Malaysia, to the official launch event on July 6. Between those, there was a preview session in October 2022 and we also showed you some interesting models from Chery’s domestic market. Click on the links to follow the journey.

    Went to see the vehicles at a roadshow recently and I’m pretty impressed with the quality and kit that they are offering for the money. Now to wait a few years to see how durable their vehicles before considering to get one.

      Chery has a couple of models that are seen running on our roads. I guess they are relible and easy to maintain.

    This car is really no joke. Looks way better in real life. I am mind boggled how Chery can give so much for such a low price. My BMW cost 2.5 times more but it has 5 times less stuff than this Chery. Even more surprising is how much power it has for a tiny 1.5cc engine. Crazy. I am impressed.

      why are you impressed with the chery 1.5 engine which only produces 150bhp which is less than proton/geely?

      or did you somehow mix up the spec sheets with the 2.0 engine?

  • Tiggo 8 pro looked nice from the exterior and interior BUT NVH no fun at all

    Tiggo 8 Pro excellent although the front end looks ugly. But please bring the one with AWD. 250hp is no joke with only FWD during the raining season.

    Omada 5, if the engine is 1.6T 4 cylinder then it is good already. BUT bring the DCT gearbox model.

    Sunroof/monroof/panaromic roof not needed. Hot country. Some more tree branches also always fall during the raining season.
