@PlanetautoUK Omoda 5 Noble in silver replacement for a Suzuki S-Cross hybrid Motion, which is a car I got after a review you did which has been a reliable car for the two years of ownership
It’s always great to hear from long term viewers of the channel. Glad you had such a good run with your Suzuki. We think you will be pleased with your new Omoda 5, you get a lot of car for the money and impressed us across the board. Let us know how you get on.
Hi you two hope you both well. I've had my omoda petrol about a month now and up to now can't fault it it's very comfortable powerful I rarely ever take it out of eco mode is enough for 95 per cent of driving. I actually phoned amoda to clarify a point and they couldn't have been more helpful. Just one thing the petrol car does have a spare wheel in the boot which I think is brilliant. my noble also came with 19 inch spoke rims which I prefer fabulous car.
I had a test drive off the E5 and was quite impressed. If it had been more established in the UK I would have been very tempted. I went for the Hyundai Kona EV in the end.
Looked at one these today. Should have test driven. Salesman said slightly less build quality than MG our other one in radar car. How did you find efficienty? Thanks guys.
We would say that they are on a par with the most recent MG’s, although the petrol 5 is a little more dated. We’ve not yet had this on review, meaning we’ve not had enough time with it to fully explore the efficiency. Thank you.
Drive away base EV in Australia is equivalent 🎉to £22,500. Lots of software issues and a reluctance to fix them by dealerships so far. So I’d hold off a while if I was considering buying one. But for the price, pretty much unbeatable here. Cheaper than atto3, has nicer interior and shares same battery. Shame the legacy manufacturers aren’t really competing with them, as they’re going to take the market and share it with Tesla.
Yes the manufacturers are dominating, thank you for the update Paul, we’ve seen the opposite here reports from owners appear very good. Yes it’s BYD the batteries if I remember correctly. The markets an interesting one at the moment.
I have now learned that it only has one phone charger on the pad - hence only one cooling fan and the part of the pad with the key symbol is part of the keyless entry system where you place your fob to start the car if your fob’s battery is flat.
Have you tested it? As I was told this at the UK launch as well as a drive day plus every dealer website says dual charger too. I wish I’d tested it 🫠 ta Scotia
Country is being flooded with Chinese cars We will regret this in time ,not a fan of Chinese products , I suspect parts will be an issue for body shops
No they’ve covered that, Robert. They’ve set up a warehouse full of parts that they will ship overnight using DHL to where ever they are needed. This was one of their priorities to have in place before they launched here. Thank you.
@ but they were not Chinese companies Even the US are now concerned about Chinese products flooding the country As a business owner it’s concerning as B it is effecting our economy
Hi have a petrol one on order as new lease a great review as always
Thank you Alan, yes Omoda are going places and starting the right way too, which colour and trim have you chosen?

Another well priced EV, hell yeah
You got that right! Thank you, @badminverse2136
The Noble petrol has a (mini) spare wheel under the boot storage.
As in a space saver? 😀
Yes. Space saver.

We agree with you. Nigel - it’s a fabulous car! Glad you enjoyed the comparison 👍

Do you have Omoda’s number please? Can’t find it.
No, apologies we don’t - best bet try your local dealer
@@PlanetautoUK no local dealer either unfortunately but I’ll try digging deeper.

You’ve still ended up with a damn good SUV! Give it a couple of years and there will be a fair few Omoda’s on the road. Thank you, Keith.
The price will be different after they established just like Korea car before
@centralkingdom8141 that’s inflation and improvements rather than being established I’d say.
So many new brands, exciting stuff. The pinched C pillar is reminiscent of a Lexus RX.
Nicely spotted - thank you, Nigel. Have you driven one?

@@PlanetautoUK is there any plans for the leapmotor C10 coming to the UK and getting them very soon in Aus and price is even lower.
@paulb1951 I’ve seen first looks popping up in the UK, sooo I presume so, il look into that deeper today.
indonesia has this car months ago and ccustomer are happy with this car
That’s great to hear Hadiso 😻
Simple question to consider - why is there a key symbol on the right side of the pad and not another phone icon with a second fan? 🤔
I wondered this however other key holders aren’t smart phone size plus all dealers call it a dual and say the fan covers both.
Would be nice if someone could simply provide a screen-shot of any document or a handbook extract to definitively confirm its actual purpose.
I’m at a Jaecoo launch soon il ask there.
Is it any better than the cheaper mg zs hybrid?
It really depends on what you are looking for, @AldoScotia - have you driven one?
@@PlanetautoUKno. Driven MG and very impressed.
They’re pretty close, drive Omoda if you get chance, many like it - I think it’s very close.
I bought the Noble it come with full spare tyre
Petrol or Electric?
It does. A mini spare ‘under’ the boot storage area for the petrol version. He just missed it. 🤷🏻♂️
Good price, and looks - don't like the wheels- a bit bland inertia
It is, and the support package too - great SUV’s especially for the prices.
It’s not a dual phone charger.
It has 2 wireless phone chargers with cooling fan Scotia

Well I can bet 95% of your house appliances have " made in China " on it. This is just pure hate for chinese stuff
It’s a good thing, our manufacturers typically are behind the Chinese and Koreans - this in turn increases competition and lowers prices, win win
We’re all doomed 😂. They said the same about Kia and Nissan.
@ but they were not Chinese companies
Even the US are now concerned about Chinese products flooding the country
As a business owner it’s concerning as B it is effecting our economy
