Let’s check out Omoda C5’s well-arranged interior

Currently, crossovers have arguably become the largest segment in the Philippine automotive market. Almost all passenger car brands have their own crossover nameplates, with some offering varying sizes that range from subcompacts to full-size models with three rows. 

Many fledgling brands even debuted in the market with a full crossover lineup. One example, of course, is Omoda, which now offers the C5 compact crossover that is touted to provide a good balance of comfort and performance. 

Under the hood, the Omoda C5 was equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-4 gasoline engine capable of producing up to 154 horsepower (hp) and 230 Newton-meters (Nm) of torque. Power is sent to its front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT). 

On the outside, the model also received a hyper-modern appearance complemented by a diamond-pattern grille, sharp-looking LED lighting fixtures, sleek body lines, as well as a sporty coupe-line silhouette. The Omoda C5’s styling is completed by a set of 18-inch wheels wrapped in 215/55 R18 tires. 

Additionally, the crossover nameplate has power-folding side mirrors, a sunroof, and a power tailgate - features that are all seen to make daily driving more convenient and pleasurable. 

All of the aforementioned sound good, but what is the interior of the Omoda C5 offering? Let’s find out here. 

Well-arranged cockpit

The Omoda C5 offers a well-arranged cockpit fitted with plenty of driving conveniences. For starters, the model comes with a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel with a tilt and telescopic steering column.

Also within easy reach of the driver is an electronic parking brake, a leather-tripped gear shifter, a front cabin armrest, and a push-to-start button. Comfort on long drives is likewise ensured by power-adjustable and ventilated front seats. 

Crucial driving and vehicle information, meanwhile, is displayed by a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster. The said screen is sizable, but it is positioned well so as not to interfere with one’s line of sight. 

Additionally, the model features Intelligent Voice Control. As such, one won’t have to fiddle around with in-vehicle controls and its central touchscreen while on the road.

Topping up devices while inside the Omoda C5 is also done easily thanks to the presence of a 50-watt wireless smartphone charging pad, USB ports, and a 12-volt accessory outlet. 

As mentioned above, the model also has a sunroof, which will make for more fun during long road trips. Otherwise, it can also brighten up daily drives within the city. Mood inside the vehicle is also enhanced by an ambient lighting system.
