Alright, brace yourselves – no, seriously, just sit down and pay attention. We're talking about the new OMODA C5 Style hitting the streets of South Africa, and it's time to drop the BS. This C5 Style is the affordable crossover you didn't know you needed. Trust me, once you lay eyes on it, you'll be wondering how you ever managed with that rusty old clunker you call a car.
Priced at a sweet R359 900, this baby just made your dream car actually attainable. It’s like winning the lottery without buying a ticket, but without the annoying cousin suddenly wanting to “reconnect.” You're saving a whopping R88 000 compared to the C5 Tech. That’s enough cash to blow on a lot of other useless-junk you’ll regret later.
From the outside, this thing looks just like the C5 Tech. It’s even strutting around in a new Bloodstone Red color that's basically screaming, “Yeah, I'm sexy and I know it.” (You just sang that in your head, didnt you!) But don’t let the pretty face fool you – under the hood, it’s packing the same turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol engine as its pricier siblings (excluding the C5 GT for the speed demons out there). We're talking 115 kW and 230 Nm of raw front-wheel power, handled by a CVT that lets you pretend you're driving a stick. Sweet, right?
Now, let’s dive into the features. Despite the lower price, this thing is stacked. Leather-trimmed steering wheel? Check. Front sports seats? Check. Dual 10.25-inch displays for your instrument cluster and touchscreen system (with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, mind you)? Hell yes. Six-speaker sound system, reversing camera, automatic air conditioning, cruise control, automatic LED headlights, and 17-inch alloy wheels? It's like Oprah had a giveaway day and everything landed in this car.
Safety? Oh, it’s got you covered. ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, tyre-pressure monitoring, rear parking sensors, an electric parking brake, ISOfix child-seat anchors, four airbags, and seat belt reminders for both the driver and front passenger. It’s practically a tank, but, you know, one that looks good and doesn’t destroy everything in its path.
Hans Greyling, the big cheese at OMODA & JAECOO, put it simply: “We’ve always been competitively priced, but the new C5 Style? It’s a game-changer. And to make it even sweeter, we’ve teamed up with Absa for some killer finance deals.” Translation: You have zero excuses left for not driving one of these.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get better, the C5 Style comes with a 2-year/30 000 km service plan, a 5-year/150 000 km factory warranty, and Roadside Assist for 5 years. Oh, and did I mention the engine warranty? 10 years or 1 million km, whichever comes first. That’s right – this car will outlast most marriages!
So, what are you waiting for? OMODA & JAECOO are on fire globally, with over 20 000 units sold in May 2024 alone, and they're just getting started in Europe. Get yourself the new OMODA C5 Style and join the movement. Your wallet will thank you, and so will everyone else who sees you driving it.
