OMODA South Africa has expanded its premium crossover lineup with the introduction of the C5 Street, a new entry-level model designed to deliver high-end style and features at an exceptional value. With a starting price of R329,900, the C5 Street lowers the entry point by R35,000, making the OMODA brand more accessible to a wider audience.
Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager for OMODA & JAECOO South Africa, explains the significance of this launch:
“The OMODA C5 Street redefines accessibility in the compact premium crossover segment, offering an exceptional blend of style, comfort, and advanced features at a competitive price. With its focus on value and safety, this model invites a broader audience to experience the OMODA brand without compromise.”
Under the Hood
The C5 Street is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, producing 83 kW of power and 138 N.m of torque. This engine, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), delivers smooth power to the front wheels, ensuring a relaxed and fuel-efficient drive. With a fuel consumption rate of 7.3 L/100 km and a 51-litre fuel tank, drivers can expect a range of over 690 km per tank, making it both practical and economical for daily commutes or longer journeys.
Dynamic Performance
The C5 Street is equipped with ventilated front discs and standard rear discs for reliable stopping power, while its McPherson strut suspension and torsion beam combination ensure a comfortable ride and engaging driving dynamics. With 145 mm of ground clearance, this crossover is well-suited to navigating both urban streets and gravel roads with ease.
Sophisticated Design
True to OMODA’s design ethos, the C5 Street boasts a bold exterior that stands out in its segment. LED daytime running lights, halogen headlights, and 17-inch wheels enhance its stylish appearance, while customers can choose from a selection of striking colours, including Aerial Silver, Carbon Crystal Black, Khaki White, and Phantom Grey.
Packed with Features
Despite its entry-level positioning, the C5 Street comes generously equipped with features that elevate comfort and convenience. These include:
- Black cloth-trimmed sports seats with six-way manual adjustment
- Automatic climate control
- Rear parking sensors and a reverse camera
- Keyless entry and push-button start
- Dual 10.25-inch screens, offering a digital instrument cluster and infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Intelligent Voice Command system and Bluetooth connectivity
- Cruise control and multi-functional steering controls
Practicality is another strong suit of the C5 Street. Its boot offers 378 litres of storage, which expands to 1,075 litres with the rear seats folded down.
Safety First
OMODA prioritizes safety, even at this accessible price point. The C5 Street includes electronic stability control (ESC), dual front airbags, front side airbags, speed limit reminders, and ISOFIX mounting points for child seats.
A Brand Aligned with Adventure
OMODA’s recent partnership with Universal Pictures’ Wicked, premiering on November 22, reflects the youthful energy and boldness that characterize the C5 Street. Like the highly anticipated film, the C5 Street invites adventure and discovery, both on and off the road.
Pricing and Warranty
The OMODA C5 Street is now available for R329,900 and includes a comprehensive aftersales package:
- 2-year/25,000 km service plan
- 5-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty
- 10-year/1-million km engine warranty, setting an industry benchmark for peace of mind.
With its stylish design, impressive feature set, and exceptional value, the OMODA C5 Street promises to redefine what customers can expect from the compact premium crossover segment.
