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.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals. LDV Australia has announced the T60 Max 4×4 ute has undergone a handful of tweaks for 2023 after its major facelift (and $5000 price hike) last year – resulting in a price increase of $4000 across the range for buyers with an ABN. But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
