This makes it a great choice for those who are looking for an affordable and stylish SUV that won’t break the bank at the fuel pump. Did I mention that the entry-level model retails for under R450k?
In addition to its great performance and fuel efficiency, the Omoda C5 is also packed with features. It comes standard with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, a Bose sound system, and a full suite of safety features.
