Barely a month after the Omoda C5 launched in South Africa, the range has expanded with the addition of 2 fresh mid-tier derivatives. Here’s how much they cost…
Despite launching in South Africa as recently as mid-April 2023, the Omoda C5 range has already grown. A pair of mid-tier variants now join the local line-up, offering buyers even more choice.
In addition to the existing Tech, Elegance and Elegance S trim levels, Omoda South Africa has rolled out new Luxury and Luxury S grades, pushing the line-up to 5 derivatives. All models are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that delivers 115 kW and 230 Nm to the front axle via a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
While the range still kicks off with the C5 1.5T Tech at R447 900, the C5 1.5T Luxury (R477 900) and C5 1.5T Luxury S (R479 900) now slot in right above it. As before, the C5 1.5T Elegance (R507 900) and C5 1.5T Elegance S (R509 900) top the local portfolio.
The newcomers both sport 18-inch alloy wheels shod in 215/55 rubber and framing red brake callipers, as well as a roof-mounted spoiler, LED daytime running lights, LED brake lights and a sunroof. The fresh Luxury and Luxury S variants can also be ordered with a 2-tone colour scheme, with the roof painted in a contrasting colour.
Like the flagship Elegance S model, the Luxury S trim level features red detailing on the front bumper, alloy wheels and roof-mounted spoiler. Inside, both the Luxury and Luxury S variants ship standard with leather upholstery. Other upgrades over the Tech specification include power-adjustable front seats and a powered tailgate, along with a 360-degree camera system.
The standard specification list furthermore includes climate control, cruise control, a voice-command system, dual 10.25-inch screens and an 8-speaker Sony sound system (with a pair of extra speakers compared with the Tech grade).
