2023 Chery Omoda 5 pre-orders open, first deliveries due March

Chery – the Chinese brand returning to Australia after eight years – has opened pre-orders for its Mazda CX-30 rival ahead of first deliveries due late next month.

Chinese car maker Chery – which returns to Australia next month after an eight-year hiatus – has opened pre-orders for its first new model, the 2023 Chery Omoda 5 small SUV.

Buyers can now place a $500 refundable deposit on Chery’s website (click here) to “secure their spot” in the queue, ahead of the Omoda 5’s official on-sale date on 23 March 2023, when orders are slated to open formally.

Pricing is yet to be confirmed, however Chery Australia confirmed earlier this month the entry-level Omoda 5 would cost less than $40,000 drive-away.

It is unclear how much cheaper than $40,000 the Omoda 5 base model will be – however as a guide, rival small SUVs from other Chinese brands with similar levels of standard features cost less than $35,000 drive-away.

According to a Facebook post by Chery Australia, buyers who pre-order will receive an upgrade to premium paint (valued at $500) and the first scheduled service (about $250 to $300), or a free premium paint upgrade and complimentary floor mats.

The company has “steady influx of interest and confirmed pre-orders,” Chery Australia brand manager Andrew Haurissa said in a statement to Drive.

The Chery Omoda 5 – a rival for the likes of the Mazda CX-30, Subaru XV, MG ZST and GWM Haval Jolion – will initially be available in two model grades, with 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engines and front-wheel drive.

Due in the second half of 2023 are two further variants, with more powerful 1.6-litre turbo engines, and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive.

As previously reported, Chery cars in Australia will be sold with a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty, through a network of 40 dealerships – focused initially in capital cities – with national drive-away prices.

The small SUVs with the biggest boots in 2023

Got a tiny driveway but lots of baggage? These small SUVs offer properly big boots. With driveways, garages and streets shrinking or disappearing altogether, inner-city dwellers increasingly want the maximum amount of interior space within the smallest possible footprint. The popularity of SUVs, particularly among family buyers, has meant hatchbacks have fallen out of favour as shoppers prioritise cargo space, head room, flexible seating options and improved visibility. RELATED: What year of Toyota RAV4 is best to buy used? RELATED: What are some reliable used cars under $5000? So what happens if you need the compact footprint of a hatchback with the boot space of an SUV? Here, we’ve collated the small SUVs with the biggest boot spaces. What constitutes ‘big’, you ask? Well, the top-selling Toyota RAV4 medium SUV boasts 542 litres of cargo space and is 4600mm long and 1855mm wide. With that in mind, any small SUV able to offer over 400L of boot space – while still measur...

Every medium SUV that comes with a spare wheel – and those that don’t

Gambar
A surprising amount of medium SUVs, particularly hybrids, go without a full-size spare wheel. These are the cars on the naughty list… A spare wheel is no longer a given when it comes to SUVs sold in Australia. Especially for the type of car that’s meant to tackle country touring, ferry families to and from work and school, and even perform some light off-road duties, medium SUVs are arguably in the most need of a proper spare wheel. Unfortunately, the reality is that specification lists for several medium SUVs – the country’s most popular buying category – omit this important feature. Particularly when it comes to hybrid SUVs, fitting in a space-saver spare wheel – let alone a full-size – is a tall order given the packaging restraints of having to fit in a high-voltage battery.

BYD Dolphin electric-car arrival pushed back, due later this year alongside Seal sedan

Gambar
Chinese electric-car giant BYD’s next two models for Australia – the city-sized Dolphin and larger Seal – are due closer to the end of this year than previously forecast. The Australian arrival of the BYD Dolphin electric hatchback has been delayed to the second half of this year, ahead of the BYD Seal electric sedan due before year’s end. BYD’s Australian distributor EVDirect has advised the  Dolphin  hatch is now due to open for orders in July 2023, and commence deliveries soon after – a delay compared to the first half of 2023 timing previously announced. The Tesla Model 3-sized Seal  sedan – previously confirmed for the “second half of 2023” – is now scheduled to open for orders and begin deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2023 (October to December), pending any further delays. The latest round of delays places the opening of order books nine to 12 months behind the “late 2022” timing indicated in mid-2022, at which time deliveries were scheduled to com...
