ANCAP Safety Report (PDF)

The Omoda C5 was introduced in New Zealand in April 2024. The ANCAP safety rating for the Omoda C5 is based on testing of the Chery Omoda 5 and Chery Omoda E5. This ANCAP safety rating applies to Omoda C5 2WD petrol variants and Omoda E5 battery electric variants sold in New Zealand.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting (curtain) airbags are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car, Vulnerable Road User, Junction Assist and Backover) as well as a lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keeping (ELK), and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS) are standard equipment.

The manufacturer has advised that lane support system (LSS) functionality for New Zealand Omoda C5 vehicles is the same as for Australian specification Chery Omoda 5 vehicles. The LSS software running in Australian-supplied Chery Omoda 5 vehicles was updated in April 2023. Additional tests of the emergency lane keeping (ELK) and lane keep assist (LKA) functionality were conducted on a vehicle with the updated software.

Performance in most LSS test scenarios was similar to the performance observed in vehicles fitted with the earlier software version, however the vehicle did not respond in a small number of ELK test scenarios and this is reflected in a reduced ELK score.
