From which, the model has earned a prestigious 5-star rating with an impressive total score of 88.64 points.

• Motorcyclist Safety (MS): The vehicle scored 15.00 points out of 20.00, emphasising its commitment to safeguarding motorcyclists, who represent a significant portion of road users in the ASEAN region.

Vehicle Safety Features

The Chery Omoda 5 offers a comprehensive suite of safety features as standard across all its variants. These include six airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Seatbelt Reminder (SBR), Rear Seat Occupant Detection Alert, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Automatic High Beam (AHB), and Pedestrian Protection (PP).

In addition to these standard features, the Omoda 5 offers several advanced safety assist technologies, either as standard or optional. These include Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning (FCW), and Lane Keep Assist (LKA).

ASEAN NCAP's Perspective

Overall, ASEAN NCAP is pleased to see Chery’s commitment to safety through the OMODA 5 undergoing its rigorous assessment process, ensuring that the vehicle meets the safety standards required for the ASEAN market.

The 5-Star rating achieved by the Omoda 5 demonstrates Chery's dedication to safety and sets a high benchmark for its future models in the region.

According to Michael Chew, Chery Malaysia Vice President - “Achieving the ASEAN NCAP safety rating is a testament to our continuous commitment to safety, innovation, and most of all to our customers. This rating is not just a badge of honor; it is a promise to our customers that our OMODA 5 cars are built with your safety in mind as our highest priority.”

Additionally, the Chery Omoda 5 had also been awarded a 5-Star rating by Euro NCAP in December 2022, while both the Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro recently received 5-Star safety ratings from the Australian NCAP.

Moving forward, the ASEAN NCAP hopes that Chery will maintain this level of safety excellence in all its future models as the organisation continues to push for higher safety standards in the region.
