OMODA has unveiled the highly anticipated C5 GT, a powerful and stylish urban crossover SUV that seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with a touch of luxury. The unveiling took place in Cape Town, where local media and guests were treated to a visual showcase and a full driving experience, allowing them to witness firsthand the exceptional qualities of this new model.
The C5 GT’s debut follows its initial appearance at the 2023 “Mr. South Africa” finals, where it served as the exclusive official vehicle partner. Not only did the limited-edition C5 GT provide professional high-end transportation for the competition, but it also stole the spotlight with its unique aesthetics and advanced intelligent technology. Its performance and style were nothing short of extraordinary, earning praise from guests, participants, and organisers alike.
OMODA has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology within avant-garde design while delivering exceptional travel experiences, and the C5 GT lives up to this legacy. Its enhanced powertrain, featuring a Kunpeng 1.6T engine and a 7DCT transmission, delivers a maximum power output of 145 kW and peak torque of 290 N.m. This combination allows the C5 GT to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.8 seconds, providing drivers with a dynamic and comfortable driving experience.
The C5 GT boasts an array of customisable features, allowing owners to personalise their vehicle to match their unique style. Eight different exterior customisations are available, including a gold logo and rear gold GT badge, with optional 18-inch high-gloss black and gold sports rims. The vehicle’s sportier appearance is further enhanced by a lower front bumper, a split front headlight design, T-shaped daytime running lights, and urban flowing matrix LED taillights. Front and rear spoilers, side skirts, and an aerodynamic rear wing add to its already award-winning design.
The C5 GT’s interior complements its bespoke exterior, delivering elegance and style with a standard piano black finish. The vehicle’s 12V start-stop function and independent rear suspension enhance fuel efficiency during short stops and increase wheel traction for improved comfort. Additionally, it features a convenient 50 W fast wireless charging pad for efficient device charging.
“We have seen unprecedented demand for the OMODA C5 GT – it truly has been nothing short of remarkable,” said Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager of OMODA SA. This overwhelming response underscores the vehicle’s exceptional allure and appeal.
