The Omoda C5 HEV hybrid electric vehicle is the latest new energy vehicle to make a timely arrival as South African grapple with record fuel prices.
Despite the price of brent crude oil decreasing after a ceasefire in the Middle East was agreed this week, more pain at the pumps is inevitable next month.
As the first Chery sub-brand to launch after the mother brands return to South Africa in 2021, Omoda rolled out the C5 almost exactly three years ago . The SUV has become a mainstay for the brand and was last month the third best-selling Chinese car in Mzansi after the Chery Tiggo 4/Cross and GWM Haval Jolion.
