Omoda is set to expand the popular C5 lineup with the local introduction of the C5 SHS in March, giving consumers a stylish, coup\u00e9-esque hybrid option in the compact crossover segment. As the best-selling model in the Brand O&J stable, the C5 plays a key role in the marque\u2019s portfolio, and the addition of an electrified derivative is set to further strengthen its appeal.<\/p>\n
The C5 SHS is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 165 kW and 310 N.m of torque. This translates to strong on-road performance, with the 0\u2013100 km\/h sprint completed in just 7.9 seconds. While those figures are impressive, efficiency and range are where the C5 SHS truly stands out. A 1.83 kWh LFP battery supplies energy to the electric motor, supporting its hybrid operation.<\/p>\n
On the combined cycle, the C5 SHS achieves fuel consumption of 5.3 L\/100 km, enabling a driving range of more than 1,000 km on a single tank while keeping CO\u2082 emissions to a low 120 g\/km. Power is sent to the front wheels via OMODA\u2019s Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), ensuring smooth and seamless power delivery.<\/p>\n
OMODA\u2019s Super Hybrid System prioritises refinement, with the electric motor handling the bulk of propulsion and the petrol engine stepping in as required. This approach results in a quieter, more relaxed driving experience, further enhanced by noise-suppressing glass.<\/p>\n
In line with Brand O&J expectations, the C5 SHS comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety and technology features. Highlights include a 12.3-inch dual-screen layout with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as 20 driver assistance systems such as Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Lane Change Assist.<\/p>\n
Luxury and convenience are also well catered for, with features including black leather upholstery, an eight-speaker sound system, a power-operated tailgate and a sunroof. Further details on the C5 SHS will be shared closer to its on-sale date.<\/p>\n
