Hi Guest
Omoda is the style-led badge in Chery's family, and it exists for a specific buyer: someone choosing a car on how it looks and what is on the dashboard rather than on seat count or towing weight. The range is small and deliberately so — two crossovers, both aimed at younger buyers.
Sit in the back of both before choosing. The styling that sells these cars is exactly what rear passengers pay for.
How much does a new Omoda cost in the UAE?
AED 69,900 to AED 114,900 covers the entire 2026 line-up, which is a narrow band by any measure. Both models are turbocharged and front-wheel drive, and the top of the range is an electrified version rather than a bigger engine — 1.5L Turbo is the largest combustion unit on offer.
Which Omoda models are sold in the UAE?
Two crossovers, one size apart. The C5 is the compact, coupé-profiled model that established the badge and the cheaper of the pair; the C7 is larger, more expensive and the only one offered with a hybrid drivetrain at the top of its range.
Omoda C5 or Omoda C7?
The C5 is the sharper-looking and much cheaper car, and as a first new car or a second one in the household it is hard to argue with. The C7 justifies its premium with rear space, a quieter cabin and the hybrid option, so it is the one to take if the car carries passengers regularly rather than mostly one person.
What should you check before buying an Omoda in the UAE?
The software, oddly enough. These are screen-led cars, so spend real time with the infotainment before you commit and ask how updates are handled. Then the conventional items: the warranty term, its exclusions on the turbocharged engines, and where the nearest approved workshop is, since the brand is sold through one franchised network.
Is a used Omoda the better buy?
Hard to say with confidence yet, because the badge is recent enough here that its second-hand values are still finding their level. Buying new secures the full factory warranty, which on a car this dependent on electronics is worth more than it would be on a simpler vehicle.
