O5 in 2026 — what's new
Malaysia's 2026 O5 range remains the sole 1.5 Turbo, following its 2025 launch as the renamed Omoda 5 facelift. The next local update is the second facelift due in 2026, shown in Bangkok with a sharper nose, 'lightning' tail lamps and a new interior. The O5 Hybrid has surfaced in Australia with a 1.5T, 204 PS electric motor and 20.4 km/l claim, but Malaysia has no priced Hybrid variant.

Verdict
The O5 is not an entry-price B-SUV: Perodua's Ativa, Aruz and Traz all start far lower, while the Nissan Kicks e-Power and Honda HR-V start slightly below it. Its case rests on the facelifted Omoda 5 package, petrol turbo power, DCT and multi-link rear suspension. If the second facelift lands in 2026, the sharp-nose exterior and new cabin will matter more than any badge reshuffle.
