Chery Australia has announced local pricing, specifications and safety features for its new Omoda 5 small SUV. 

The model in entry-level guise has been priced starting from $31,990 driveaway in the ACT, however driveaway pricing differs state by state. Pricing tops out at $32,690 driveaway in Victoria.
