Chery Australia has confirmed pricing and specifications for the updated 2025 C5 SUV range, bringing various changes to the model formerly known as the Omoda 5.
Now streamlined into two variants, the Urban and Ultimate. The entry-level Urban comes with dual 10.25-inch displays, a full suite of active safety systems, wired and wireless smartphone connectivity, and Chery’s voice-command system. A larger 370-litre boot improves usability compared with the outgoing version (from 360L).
Sitting atop the range, the C5 Ultimate adds larger 18-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, a Sony eight-speaker sound system, synthetic leather trim, a panoramic sunroof, and a 360-degree camera. It also picks up convenience upgrades like dual-zone climate control and a powered tailgate.
Underneath, the MY25 C5 benefits from a multi-link rear suspension setup, swapping out the old torsion beam (perhaps following that incident of the rear end snapping?), and a new six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission aimed at delivering a more refined and responsive driving experience.
Visually, the C5 receives a fresh take on Chery’s signature diamond grille, with the Ultimate gaining newly styled wheels for a more premium edge. Both models continue to include LED lighting.
Chery says the facelifted model continues to reflect the brand’s push to offer strong value and advanced features in the competitive small SUV segment. With nearly 13,000 units sold in Australia since its 2023 debut, the C5 remains a key player in the brand’s local strategy.
The electric version, previously known as the Omoda E5, will now be rebadged simply as the E5, with further details to be revealed shortly. See below for the starting prices (drive-away):
2025 Chery C5 Urban: $29,990
2025 Chery C5 Ultimate: $34,990
