2023 Chery Omoda 5 in Malaysia

Chery Malaysia officially announced its return in mid-2023 with an official launch event in July of the same year. The company introduced the Chery Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro SUVs as their initial models to spearhead their local resurgence. The Omoda 5, positioned as a B-segment SUV to rival the Proton X50 and Honda HR-V, comes in two variants - the C variant of Chery Omoda 5 Malaysia price is at RM108,800 and the top-tier H variant available for the Cher Omoda 5 price of RM118,800. The exact meaning of the C and H designations remains uncertain.

In a departure from their previous strategy, Chery has chosen to re-enter the Malaysia market without a local partner with Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro, opting for an independent approach in a competitive market. To date, Chery confirmed the readiness of 31 dealerships to serve customers at the launch, with plans for more to open by the end of 2023 to date.

Notably, Chery has taken an aggressive approach by introducing both the Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro SUVs in completely knocked down (CKD), locally-assembled form right from the start. This is contrary to the common practice of initially launching fully imported cars followed by CKD units later.

Chery Omoda 5 Specs
