The Chery C5 facelift arrives as the new face of the Omoda E5. Carrying the spirit of “Cross F Future,” the Chery C5 is ready to shake up the crossover SUV market in Indonesia. Not only does it feature a futuristic design, but it also offers a range of smart and state-of-the-art technologies to deliver a more impressive driving experience.
As a vehicle choice for today’s modern lifestyle, the Chery C5 facelift brings several updates and upgrades in many aspects. The latest technology is embedded in its transmission system, suspension, digital features in the cabin, and safety systems.
These specification improvements are Chery’s step to present a reliable SUV for users who prioritize performance, comfort, and driving safety. Here are some of the top technologies in the Chery C5 that make it the ideal car for the present era.
One of the advantages offered by the Chery C5 is its suspension system. This car uses an independent multi-link rear suspension, an upgrade from the previous torsion beam non-independent type.
Unlike the torsion beam system, the multi-link suspension is designed so that each wheel can move independently when passing uneven road surfaces. This design provides better stability, especially when maneuvering at high speeds.
This type of suspension is widely used in premium cars as it delivers a smoother and more luxurious driving feel. Its ability to absorb shocks more optimally makes the Chery C5 more comfortable to drive.
The use of a dual clutch transmission (DCT) is another important update in the Chery C5. Previously, the Omoda 5 still adopted a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
The DCT system produces smoother and more responsive gear shifts. In addition, its performance also improves vehicle acceleration due to minimal torque loss. This allows the engine’s power to be delivered more efficiently.
For reference, the Chery C5 is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine combined with a 6-speed DCT. This setup produces up to 145 hp and 230 Nm of torque.
A touch of sophistication is also embedded in the dashboard of the Chery C5. At the front cabin, a minimalist dashboard design is combined with two 10.25-inch screens. These screens serve as the digital instrument panel and head unit, providing convenience and comfort for the driver.
This infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, both via cable and wireless. It can also be operated using voice commands for a more practical and modern driving experience.
The Chery C5 is also equipped with the latest features, namely the Intelligent Voice Assistant (IVA) and the Car Link-O app. IVA is a smart in-car voice assistant technology that allows drivers and passengers to control various car features using only voice commands.
With IVA, users can operate navigation, play music, make calls, and adjust cabin temperature without touching buttons or screens — more practical and safer while driving. This technology has now become a standard in many modern cars, especially smart vehicles and EVs.
In addition, the C5 is also supported by the Car Link-O mobile app, which allows users to easily access various car features directly from their smartphones. Through this app, users can lock/unlock doors, start the engine, and even track the car’s location.
Another advanced technology in the Chery C5 is the Automatic Engine Shut-Off. This system automatically turns off the engine when the vehicle is at a complete stop.
For example, while waiting at traffic lights or in traffic jams. The Automatic Engine Shut-Off improves fuel efficiency while reducing emissions, making the Chery C5 a more eco-friendly vehicle.
The Chery C5 also offers three driving modes — Eco, Normal, and Sport — that can be adjusted according to needs and driving style. This feature provides flexibility for drivers to face various road conditions, from city traffic to long trips.
Eco Mode is designed for fuel efficiency, suitable for relaxed driving. Normal Mode offers balance for daily use, while Sport Mode delivers more aggressive and powerful engine responses for highway driving.
For maximum comfort, the Chery C5 is equipped with an ultra-efficient PM0.3 AC air filter. This filter can trap microscopic particles and viruses, keeping cabin air clean and healthy. In addition, the dual-zone automatic AC system allows both driver and passenger to set their own preferred temperatures.
The Chery C5 is also equipped with Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) technology to improve comfort and safety during congestion. This system automatically adjusts vehicle speed, maintains a safe distance from the car ahead, and assists in smooth acceleration and braking.
With this technology, the driver doesn’t need to keep pressing the gas or brake pedal in heavy traffic. This reduces fatigue and provides a more relaxed driving experience, especially during long journeys and traffic jams.
The Chery C5 also uses Intelligent Avoidance System (IES) technology to support driving safety. This smart technology helps maintain safe distances when overtaking large vehicles or navigating heavy traffic.
The IES system monitors the surroundings in real time and automatically responds to avoid potential collisions. With this feature, drivers can feel more secure and confident, especially in risky driving situations.
Because user safety is a top priority, the Chery C5 is equipped with 10 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features. Key features include autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning/assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and driver attention monitoring to keep drivers focused.
In addition, it is also equipped with adaptive cruise control (Integrated Cruise Assist), parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, and a multi-collision brake system to prevent secondary collisions after the first impact.
These are some of the advanced technologies in the Chery C5 facelift, the successor to the Omoda 5. With these innovations, the Chery C5 is a smart, safe, and comfortable car to drive in various road conditions.
With its specifications and advantages, the Chery C5 is the ideal choice for those seeking a modern, high-performance vehicle with a futuristic design. You can also explore other Chery car specifications or schedule a test drive to experience it firsthand. Book your test drive with Chery today.
