Chery O5 vs Mitsubishi Xforce
Verdict
This is a straight trade-off. The Chery O5 costs RM116,800 against the Mitsubishi Xforce’s RM109,980, so the RM6,820 gap buys far stronger outputs, 145 hp and 230 Nm versus 104 hp and 141 Nm, plus six airbags, AEB and a seven-year warranty. The Xforce answers with a 410-litre boot, a 2,650 mm wheelbase and a taller 1,660 mm body. Both are CKD B-segment, five-seat, front-wheel-drive petrol SUVs, so the decision is less about format and more about performance and safety against price and luggage space.
Pick the Chery O5 if you want the stronger petrol SUV, with 145 hp, 230 Nm, six airbags, AEB and a seven-year warranty.
Pick the Mitsubishi Xforce if you want the lower entry price, a 410-litre boot, a 2,650 mm wheelbase and a taller 1,660 mm body.
