Chery has expanded its Omoda 5 range for 2024, with a pair of more powerful GT models joining the range.
These feature the same level of equipment as the erstwhile flagship EX, but upgrade to a more powerful turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine and swap the torsion-beam rear suspension for a multi-link setup.
Apart from a different material for the centre console and some different exterior badging, however, they’re indistinguishable from the EX.
All Omoda 5 models get a new frameless rear-view mirror with auto-dimming for 2024, plus digital radio and a more powerful 50W phone charger.
The extra equipment comes at a cost, with drive-away pricing up $1500 for the base BX and $1000 for the EX.
The range will expand further in the second half of this year with the Omoda E5, an electric version of the small crossover.
