Hi mate appreciate what you are saying but it seems like you have a problem whenever someone has a different opinion on what makes a value car a value car, to a lot of people a Chinese car isn’t good value it is just cheap.
I was planning to purchase my 3rd BMW X2 ... then I looked at the Omoda-5. I have now owned a 2023 Omoda-5 BX for 3 months, most current software update in place. 1. The driver fatigue monitor works fine for me, accurate and not over zealous. 2. Phone charge only works with compatible phones. My A74 oppo charges via USB cable and initiates the screen display. 3. Car in front drive-a-way function is great. 4. Very happy with interior materials, although right arm rest could be softer. 5. I didn't opt for a sunroof, I want shade, not sun. (Sunroof comes with 360° camera + auto-open boot, duel electronic seat adjustment and warmer ... for more $'s). 6. The exterior design got me interested, the technology, 7yr warranty, 7yr fixed services, 7rs roadside assistance, sold me. 7. I'm using all the technology functions without turning anything off. I'm learning what the signals and sounds are alerting to. I think turning anything off is counterintuitive to what the car offers. Let the car teach you and enjoy all the technology it has to offer. (While available, I'm not using the hands-free driving. I feel 2 hands on the wheel is better than no hands 😉) Comparing the Omoda-5 to my 2 previous BMW X2's, I feel I've got 2.5 times the car at lees than 1/2 the price. I give my Omoda-5 Saturn Silver (charcoal metallic, no red accents) BX 9.5/10 👍
Very interesting and maybe true as I don't own BMW and can't compare, other than hearing left and right about them trying to charge you subscriptions (?) for every feature and service you get for free out of even the cheapest and arguably LOWEST quality Chinese car product on the market right now. Glad for you that you're happy with your choice though mate, I've made plenty of my own mistakes trying different brands and don't judge.
❤ your work, Demetri. Compared to what Chery offered us 13 years ago, is like night and day. The omoda 5 has a fun looking exterior that I see would appeal to the younger audience. I’m really excited to see the future cars that we will see coming out of china. This Friday I’ll be stepping out of my very reliable 2012 Ford Kuga, driven by the 5 cylinder turbo Volvo engine also shared with the XR5 Focus, and stepping into the Jolion Ultra. My dad purchased the 2016 Ford Kuga, and he has had nothing but issues with it. He said he will never buy another Ford due to issues and lack of support from Ford. I asked him what he thought of his Oppo phone from China? and he said he loved it. I told him, it’s now time to try their cars. When I show him my new Jolion, I’m sure he will be blown away! Keep up the good work mate! 😉👍
Lol, I also use the phone to make the point that Chinese products are everywhere... Having said that, I do believe that GWM Haval has overall a better name on the market for reliability of their cars than e.g. SAIC or Chery... I'm quite happy with my H6 and hope you will be too in your Jolion. Congrats on your purchase mate!
Hey Dimitri.Hopefully we can see you do a test drive in the tank 300 and compare the features and see if they are intrusive or not.For instance the lane keep assist and especially the driver fatigue monitoring system with the sunglasses on .Great work as always with your value cars reviews.
Thank you. Yes I want to do a second (proper) test drive and comment as I drive along, as that's always a slightly different perspective - just like I've shown in this video
5 years ago you wouldn't even look at these brands but I do think it won't be long and these will be the buying norm. Thanks for this video very informative.
Another great video Dimitri, the driver monitoring camera is mounted in the same position as the Jolion, I turned mine off after the first day as Haval haven’t got the algorithms quite right, they are relying on iris detection and sunglasses especially and ordinary glasses at times upset the camera input. If you turn off the driver monitoring is that setting retained each time you restart the car. Great software but still requires a bit more fine tuning.
I'm seriously considering this to be my next purchase. It looks amazing, and it's quality is far more than what I'm used to. Lets hope there's no major issues exposed with its quality over the next few months.
My only recommendation is to test drive and check reviews on the comparably priced vehicles, rather than just diving into this without knowing much about it. Driver monitoring system is horrible (IMHO), quality remains to be seen, space at the back is practically absent. Still keen? Good luck then!
@@ValueCarsAU So far for me regarding the other price comprisons, it comes out in front, more so because I find it more attractive. I am big on aeathetics, and can't stomach most other SUVs, besides the Arkana. The driving monitoring seems to be the biggest concern I agree. I don't have kids, or a partner, just a single man looking to upgrade. I have a bit more time to check out other cars, but absolutely will be giving this a test drive. I appreciate your reviews, gives more in-depth scope of the negatives to keep mind of.
The fatigue monitoring camera is good safety system to avoid causing some accident which are due to drivers sleeping on the road...most Mining Sectors use it for TMM drivers
Interesting insight, and maybe in those sectors this will help for sure, but for every day drivers in the urban Australian cities this is nothing but annoyance. So feature-wise, you're talking about 80/20 split of negative to benefit. It's a losing formula for Chery.
Agree with everything you say. The lane keeping system I still super sensitive even with the update... sensors are super sensitive when reversing and automatic breaking happens even when I'm clear. I have mi I heart attacwhen I drive
The fatigue monitor is just insane my service team haven’t updated mine yet , , the car seat is average , however the surround cameras have now completely failed and dealership has gone from fantastic service to very poor to deal with , when fixed I will be trading my car in for a different brand
One of the underlings crashed our Kuga into a house during the week. If the Insurance Co write it off (which I doubt) we will check out the Omoda and others. Secondhand MG HS is great value and plenty around. Great vid thanks.
I think you'll get a very good quality vehicle relatively cheaply as a "run around" car for your business or a second (third?) family car. Bogans will take a while to catch up to the fact that these cars aren't as bad as Toyota's of the world are happy for them to keep thinking.
Compared to early Hyundai/Kia offerings in early 2000’s this is amazing value - each of the newer brands have their tech issues however for a family on a budget with a good warranty and good safety I can see why they sell well as not everyone can afford the German brands to buy and maintain and with Ford and GM abandoning this segment I welcome these as meeting the demand for affordable family cars.
It's definitely affordable, all right... But on the balance of all things I'd say - there are better budget-friendly choices for (about) the same kind of money. In other words, all in all, the quality of materials and electronics is just not where it needs to be to compete even with GWM Haval, in my opinion anyway.
Thanks for the review.I am strongly considering purchasing one but the only thing holding me back is unknown service issues and parts availability. With Chery being new to the Australian market, how soon will they be able to fix and get it back on the road should something unforeseen happen? Keen to hear your thoughts. Also, is the suspension as bad as what the other reviewers are making it to be?
Hello mate. I think any newcomer brand to our market (Chery, BYD, Haval, MG, Cupra) is a risk. So before forking out your cash - just consider if it's worth your risk, and if you like the car ENOUGH to take that risk? It's really not my decision, I just tell people what I think about elements of the cars I've tested or owned. Chery is a bit of a mystery and long-term investment is not something even I would take with a massive amount of confidence. Also, test drive is mandatory - i.e. you need to decide for yourself if suspension and anything else bothers you, don't trust others. I say things with all honesty, but it's still "my opinion" - you need to develop your own. I hope it helps you.
@@ValueCarsAU Yes I did take it out for a test drive - and I loved it. Suspension to me wasn't a problem but my wife had a different opinion. Anyhow, thanks for the input.
I own the vehicle and i wouldn’t recommend one buys it. Im a technology savvy and i bought the car for its bells and whistles especially when it came to the driver assistance features. They state the vehicle had a front and rear parking sensors but when an object is directly infront of the vehicle it won’t recognise it but when its on the side it does. I then decided to investigate why that is so i noticed that the side front sensors work but the two middle sensors are not connected at all they are just there for show. So that means the forward collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB) and other features that depend on the radar sensors to work, can only do so if the objects are on the side.
Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry you're going through this. As I collect further feedback on omoda and now Tiggo 7 Pro, I also wouldn't recommend either of those vehicles. Another translated video next week will reveal further issues, sadly.
@@ValueCarsAU could you also include this in your next review as this is false advertising and people will buy the cars based on these features. Upon inspecting the vehicle i noticed there are two front sensors but they are not connected. When i enquired, they informed me that it is like that from China. It also has an issue with the monitor just today i had to disconnect the battery as the monitor would not switch off nor when i reverse will it show me whats happening at the back, the air conditioner wouldn’t show on the screen basically the screen froze.
As a Chinese person. I really wouldn’t recommend a Chery car. It probably fits all the stereotypes of Chinese car brand. Offers very little other than affordability. GWM on the other hand is much more trustworthy.
As a Chinese person is it true that in china because they mostly use reverse parking and parallel the cars don’t have the middle front sensors? When i enquired about my omoda i was informed that it comes like that from China because of the above reason 😅. So cars in China have side sensors and not front sensors
Purchased this car 2 months ago, have done over 4000klm. Great car to drive, comfortable, great handling, roomy and a great looker. The TECH IS TERRIBLE- Wireless charging overheats every phone that is put on it. HEY CHERY does basically nothing. Emergency lane keeping is dangerous and it should STAY OFF if you turn it off, not come back on every time you turn the car off. Speed assist is as annoying as heck and reads speed signs on off ramps as you are driving on the highway. The smart cruise control is way too aggressive in breaking. Apple car play drops out whilst driving and is a nightmare to get back working. Drives beautifully as a car it’s great value for money. The software update did absolutely nothing to address all of the issues. If I had an offer for a refund, I would take it and buy a Haval H6 GT. Genuine feedback
Thanks for sharing! I'm not surprised about electronics being unhelpful and all these extra "features" only being there for show - adding no real (or reliable) value. Re. it being "roomy" I don't know what you're talking about or what are you comparing Omoda to? MG3? 🤣🤷♀️
Great vid & review! But I must admit it is concerning that the black Omoda felt "tight" and yet the white one didn't? Can you elaborate on that? Bit of worry as the first thing that leaps to mind is the build quality is a bit "hit and miss" - and that is something Chery can ill-afford considering their first foray into the Oz market...and subsequent withdrawal! Anyway - what we need is a quality "Dimitry review" of the Mahindra XUV700! Pretty please!😀
XUV700 isn't in Sydney yet mate, but the early Scorpio impressions are coming this weekend! Re. the black vs white Omoda, I don't know what to tell you - the black one definitely creaked less, for some reason. Maybe it's been driven around more than the white brand new one? Just guessing here. Overall I still find Omodas very plastic-y and I personally would not buy one of these instead of a GWM product.
I'm not sure mate, yeah the extra dings and bongs would prob get too much - I was mostly paying attention to the fatigue monitor, but the other things are a bit over the top too
Привет Дмитрий. Я живу в Сиднее и думал покупать эту машину, так как у меня бюджет до $40.000. Посмотрел все, какие есть обзоры в Австралии, включая ваши. Всю жизнь ездил на японских семейных седанах и SUV. За электронику я не переживал, так как знал, что они заапдейтят софт в конце концов. Что меня удивило, что вы не слова ни сказали, какая там проблема со стабильностью подвески на дороге. Я взял ее на час у ребят в Райде и поехал на М2. Ее же швыряет вправо и влево, как только меняешь линию - очень не приятное ощущение, не зависимо от режима драйва. Если руль немного подергать в каждую сторону, ты получаешь ощущения нахождения на лодке, через борт которой проходит волны и тебя качает как «Ваньку-встаньку». Меня это просто убило на повал, так как такого никогда не ощущал за все свою жизнь. Им срочно нужно что то делать со стабилизацией подвески. Что думаете ???
Привет, я наверно особо не дергал и скорость на М2 не набирал - крутил по мелким местным улицам в основном и 99% внимания было на то как себя вел датчик усталости водителя, т.к. он мне очень не понравился во время первого заезда. Проще говоря, я бы лично за свои 40 штук эту машину брать бы не стал. Посмотри на Хавал, если уж рассматриваешь Китайские - H6 отличные, 6 штук накинь и можешь вообще взять Танк 300. Они намного крепче Чери, на мой взгляд.
@@ValueCarsAU Спасибо, Честно говоря, до сих пор скептически отношусь к китайскому reliability. Мне они напоминают корейцев в 90х, у которых ушло как минимум 20 -25 лет, что бы стать приличными авто. Есть вариант Nissan Qashqai 2022 дилера демо за эти деньги, но по всем электронным «фишкам» он уступает Омоде в разы.
WE joke about nanny state tech but these new cars are a concern. We need to lobby Australian design standards to ensure all assistance tech can easily be disabled. by a button.
Dimitri, great review. However, you should not have held back on "glass roofs". It is not simply overrated, oh no. That "technology" is one of the most idiotic, useless and wasteful car features ever invented. Especially in hot countries with crazy UV levels like Australia. First, they make cars a lot more expensive. Then, since like any glass they DO break sometimes and cost at least 5000 AUD to replace. Needless to say, that risk is then accordingly reflected in your insurance cost, making your ongoing insurance costs also more expensive. Then, they allow A LOT more heat into cabin forcing you to run AC more, losing efficiency and losing range. And they also reduce cabin head space. And all for what?! That "Oh, I get so much more light in the cabin!" nonsense? Really??? When you are sitting in a small box with windows ALL AROUND you? How much MORE light could you possibly want?
Lol fair points, but I don't think I particularly "hold back" on anything. I'm just annoyed by driver monitoring and ELK systems a lot more than the sunroof. Otherwise, yeah, I agree, it's a gimmick that bogans buy into and never use it really.
I thought reviews were where the person reviewing talked through each different aspect about the car, so we, the consumer can.make an informed decision. You only discuss and show the things that YOU'RE interested in. Doesn't seem like a legit review to me
@@MrRav4-p3v agree honestly I know this guy loves to drive value cars and that's fine but test drive even moderately valued cars like Hyundai/Kia and they blow this shit away in ride and handling it's not even close. Honestly it's worth paying the 8-10k more
@@mharro88 I have no interest in this style of vehicle. Came across the Chery sales stats in VFACTS. The more Omodas on the road means more traffic into the show rooms. And that's even before Tiggo 7 and 8 arrive.
Please restrict your negative comments to one per video, thank you. everyone is allowed to have an opinion, but repeating your message twice is unwelcome here.
🚩TO BE CLEAR - I have no immediate plans to buy one of these vehicles. ALL opinions are welcome, even if you don't feel like Chinese vehicles deserve your money, Just remain civil to me and each other. Thank you.

1. The driver fatigue monitor works fine for me, accurate and not over zealous.
2. Phone charge only works with compatible phones. My A74 oppo charges via USB cable and initiates the screen display.
3. Car in front drive-a-way function is great.
4. Very happy with interior materials, although right arm rest could be softer.
5. I didn't opt for a sunroof, I want shade, not sun. (Sunroof comes with 360° camera + auto-open boot, duel electronic seat adjustment and warmer ... for more $'s).
6. The exterior design got me interested, the technology, 7yr warranty, 7yr fixed services, 7rs roadside assistance, sold me.
7. I'm using all the technology functions without turning anything off. I'm learning what the signals and sounds are alerting to. I think turning anything off is counterintuitive to what the car offers. Let the car teach you and enjoy all the technology it has to offer. (While available, I'm not using the hands-free driving. I feel 2 hands on the wheel is better than no hands 😉)
Comparing the Omoda-5 to my 2 previous BMW X2's, I feel I've got 2.5 times the car at lees than 1/2 the price.
I give my Omoda-5 Saturn Silver (charcoal metallic, no red accents) BX 9.5/10 👍

MG is the buying norm. They're selling better than most here. This company isn't. They had a shot a few years ago and died and most likely will again.
Thanks, glad you found this informative!
Great video Dmitri, it was a great video going back to test the revised safety features of the car. Thanks for the insightful video :)
Glad to hear you found it useful mate. It's by no means a very extensive review, but I hope I've managed to shed some light on it!

test drive Omada before buying mg i got great deal on 1.6 lt turbo awd gt demo
Did you test the lane keeping assist, integrated cruise assist etc. They are terrible. Not working well. It needs to be updated.
Not tested, but trust you mate! As soon as I've seen how their driver monitoring system works, I kinda didn't need to see the rest....
hi Dmitri,
the touch screen of my chery omoda doest work, would you know how to fix it?
You should talk to your dealership and/or service centre mate. How would we know here what's wrong with your screen? 🤷♀️
I wanna know if someone else also had a touch screen overheating problem
So do I mate, very interesting if that actually happens?
Compared to early Hyundai/Kia offerings in early 2000’s this is amazing value - each of the newer brands have their tech issues however for a family on a budget with a good warranty and good safety I can see why they sell well as not everyone can afford the German brands to buy and maintain and with Ford and GM abandoning this segment I welcome these as meeting the demand for affordable family cars.

Can the indicator sound be turned down? gives me the shits just hearing on the video....
I'm not sure mate, yeah the extra dings and bongs would prob get too much - I was mostly paying attention to the fatigue monitor, but the other things are a bit over the top too

Sir value cars i owned a korando and the indicator gave me the shits will not buy another one)
all good happy with h6
So can you permanently turn off all the things you don’t want
Good to hear!
Now review the 1.6 Turbo version
Now pay me a million dollars. Love this kind of tone, it's great!
Can we compare with Mahindra xuv 700?
Not until they have a presence in urban areas, not just rural ones
i was so close to buying 1 today bx model, but wasnt happy with my tradein value so i turn down the deal
I think you can find something much better than Chery these days. The other brands - including some Japanese one - are very competitive.
According to June Vfacts, Chery sold 603 vehicles. That means 603 Omoda.
Thanks for sharing, I just report on what I experience, I'm not a statistics person (but good to know!)
Got one magic car 🚗
Which one is this? Mercedes GLX? 🤣
Привет Дмитрий.
Я живу в Сиднее и думал покупать эту машину, так как у меня бюджет до $40.000.
Посмотрел все, какие есть обзоры в Австралии, включая ваши.
Всю жизнь ездил на японских семейных седанах и SUV.
За электронику я не переживал, так как знал, что они заапдейтят софт в конце концов.
Что меня удивило, что вы не слова ни сказали, какая там проблема со стабильностью подвески на дороге.
Я взял ее на час у ребят в Райде и поехал на М2. Ее же швыряет вправо и влево, как только меняешь линию - очень не приятное ощущение, не зависимо от режима драйва. Если руль немного подергать в каждую сторону, ты получаешь ощущения нахождения на лодке, через борт которой проходит волны и тебя качает как «Ваньку-встаньку». Меня это просто убило на повал, так как такого никогда не ощущал за все свою жизнь. Им срочно нужно что то делать со стабилизацией подвески. Что думаете ???
Привет, я наверно особо не дергал и скорость на М2 не набирал - крутил по мелким местным улицам в основном и 99% внимания было на то как себя вел датчик усталости водителя, т.к. он мне очень не понравился во время первого заезда. Проще говоря, я бы лично за свои 40 штук эту машину брать бы не стал. Посмотри на Хавал, если уж рассматриваешь Китайские - H6 отличные, 6 штук накинь и можешь вообще взять Танк 300. Они намного крепче Чери, на мой взгляд.

Спасибо,
Честно говоря, до сих пор скептически отношусь к китайскому reliability. Мне они напоминают корейцев в 90х, у которых ушло как минимум 20 -25 лет, что бы стать приличными авто.
Есть вариант Nissan Qashqai 2022 дилера демо за эти деньги, но по всем электронным «фишкам» он уступает Омоде в разы.
WE joke about nanny state tech but these new cars are a concern. We need to lobby Australian design standards to ensure all assistance tech can easily be disabled. by a button.
I agree but who would do it on a country scale mate?
What software version the update?
No idea, why don't you ask the dealership if you're interested?
Dimitri, great review. However, you should not have held back on "glass roofs". It is not simply overrated, oh no. That "technology" is one of the most idiotic, useless and wasteful car features ever invented. Especially in hot countries with crazy UV levels like Australia. First, they make cars a lot more expensive. Then, since like any glass they DO break sometimes and cost at least 5000 AUD to replace. Needless to say, that risk is then accordingly reflected in your insurance cost, making your ongoing insurance costs also more expensive. Then, they allow A LOT more heat into cabin forcing you to run AC more, losing efficiency and losing range. And they also reduce cabin head space. And all for what?! That "Oh, I get so much more light in the cabin!" nonsense? Really??? When you are sitting in a small box with windows ALL AROUND you? How much MORE light could you possibly want?
Lol fair points, but I don't think I particularly "hold back" on anything. I'm just annoyed by driver monitoring and ELK systems a lot more than the sunroof. Otherwise, yeah, I agree, it's a gimmick that bogans buy into and never use it really.
I thought reviews were where the person reviewing talked through each different aspect about the car, so we, the consumer can.make an informed decision. You only discuss and show the things that YOU'RE interested in. Doesn't seem like a legit review to me
So what are you doing here then? Bye bye.
I test drove this a few weeks ago. Literally one of the worst tin pot shit cars I've ever driven.
Fair enough, not every product is for everyone. I wouldn't be as negative as you are, but it's not the right car for me either.
@@MrRav4-p3v agree honestly I know this guy loves to drive value cars and that's fine but test drive even moderately valued cars like Hyundai/Kia and they blow this shit away in ride and handling it's not even close. Honestly it's worth paying the 8-10k more
Don't you worry. Chery sold 603 of these Omoda in June. As fast as they can be shipped.
@@nostradamus2642 cool that doesn't mean they're good. Lol
@@mharro88 I have no interest in this style of vehicle. Came across the Chery sales stats in VFACTS. The more Omodas on the road means more traffic into the show rooms. And that's even before Tiggo 7 and 8 arrive.
Red trim on a cheap chinese suv . Cringe
Please restrict your negative comments to one per video, thank you. everyone is allowed to have an opinion, but repeating your message twice is unwelcome here.
@@ValueCarsAU tried to edit my original comment to add this but it wouldn't let me?
the car is bad very bad, only 3 days the gear rot. 3 months 4 major repair
Another dumb ass comment. Absolutely no proof of that. 2 strikes. Post something else and I'll be sad to have one less clown in the comments.
