Omoda prices streamlined and re-arranged C5 range

Omoda & Jaecoo South Africa has announced yet another line-up realignment of the former’s C5 after introducing the X-Series in April.

Restructuring

Street becomes Street+

Part of an effective range streamlining, the entry-level Street becomes the Street+, while both the Lux S and Elegance S trim grades fall away.

Above the Street+, the Style adopts the Style X moniker in joining the Lux X and Elegance X that continue unchanged.

Model-wise, the Street+, which debuted just over a year ago, receives a six-speaker sound system after originally being equipped with a four-speaker.

Also new is a drive mode selector with two settings, Eco and Sport.

While specification is otherwise unchanged, up front, the normally aspirated 1.5-litre engine has been dropped in favour of the turbo unit every other derivative has had since sales of the C5 commenced two years ago.

Outputs, therefore, climb back up to 115kW/230Nm from 83kW/138Nm, directed to the front wheels through a CVT.

X-rated Style

Moving up to the Style X brings the same engine, but now mated to the six-speed dual-clutch ‘box as on the Lux X and Elegance X.

Underneath, the previous torsion beam rear suspension, which continues on the Street+, makes way for a multi-link layout.

New on the specification front is LED headlights and the same increased boot capacity as the Lux X and Elegance X from 378-1 075-litres to 442-litres-1 149-litres.

No changes to the Lux X and Elegance X have taken place.
