CarExpert AU: Chery C5 review
"The glow-up is real. The new Chery C5 (formerly Omoda 5) is smarter, smoother, and sharper than ever — and it might just be the best small SUV under $35K. With premium features, a new dual-clutch gearbox, multi-link suspension, and a seriously luxe cabin, this could be the sleeper hit of 2025. Full walkaround, full drive, full verdict — right here."
