Chery Debuts the Omoda O5 GT Model in Mexico

In 2022, Omoda, the latest automotive venture from the renowned Chinese manufacturer Chery, broadened its product portfolio in Mexico by introducing the O5 GT. This addition complements the existing lineup of the regular O5 sedan and the C5 SUV, positioning itself to compete with other C-segment contenders like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic.

The O5 GT, a sporty four-door sedan, essentially represents a rebranded version of the Chery Arrizo 5 GT, which made its debut in China the previous year. It shares the same Lexus-inspired front fascia and is equipped with a turbocharged petrol engine. Measuring 4,691 mm in length, 1,814 mm in width, and 1,493 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm, the O5 GT boasts a distinctive design. Notable features include a prominent X-shaped "spindle" grille, slim LED headlights, and vertical intakes on the bumper. The overall profile and rear end resemble the regular Omoda O5 sedan, but with the addition of a diffuser element featuring quad exhausts.

Inside, the Omoda O5 GT offers a sophisticated cabin equipped with dual 10.25-inch screens in a unified panel, a dashboard adorned with faux carbon fiber trim, and bucket seats with red piping on black leather-style upholstery (also available in lava red). The high-spec trim includes heated and ventilated seats, along with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keep assist, lane change assist, and blind spot monitoring.

Powering the Omoda O5 GT is a turbocharged 1.6L engine delivering an impressive 194 hp and 290 Nm of torque. This power is directed to the front wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, enabling a brisk 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 6 seconds. It's worth noting that the regular O5 is equipped with a 1.5L engine producing 146 hp and 169 Nm, coupled with a CVT gearbox.

The Omoda O5 GT is available in two variants, with the base Life variant priced at 459,900 Mexican pesos (approximately PKR 74.5 lac) and the range-topping Unlimited variant costing MXN 539,900 (around PKR 87.5 lac). Plans are underway to launch the O5 GT in other markets, including Russia, and in regions where the Omoda brand has already been introduced.
