JAKARTA - PT Chery Sales Indonesia (CSI) recently presented the latest model for the Indonesian market, namely Omoda 5 GT. This car is referred to by the company as an SUV powered in this series. This car comes with several differences compared to other variants, one of which is the presence of the seven-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) dentistry system. Harry Komara, as Vice President of PT CSI, said that the transmission was considered suitable for this car because it had more subtle dental changes than manual. "This DCT is known to be more subtle and makes this car powerful. Moreover, its life is more durable than other transmissions," said Komara to VOI, Jum'at, September 29. The DCT system is married to a 1.6 liter turbo TGDI engine capable of producing 197 dk of power and 290 Nm of torque. Chery Omoda 5 GT has six driving modes that support the driving needs of its users, including Eco, Normal, Sport, Gravel, Mud, and Off-Road. Speaking of design, Omoda 5 GT has the same design language as any other type. However, what distinguishes it is that the manufacturer gives a special touch to the grip with orange accents and an "Omode" emblem that changes to the front and back. Having a powered engine does not make the manufacturer forget the efficiency of fuel. Chery still pays attention to the savings with the Intelligent Combustion System (iHEC) system which makes it reach 6.8 liters per 100 km of consumption. Meanwhile, for a more enjoyable driving experience, this SUV is equipped with a Multilink suspension.

The 5 GT Chery Omoda is provided in two types of driving systems, namely Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and All-Wheel Drive. What distinguishes it is that the AWD variant has a 19-inch rim size with a touch of All Black color. Meanwhile, for FWD, it has an 18-inch rim with a sporty orange accent. Despite improving performance and other sophistication, Chery is also paying attention to the safety aspects in it. The SUV received safety test certification from the Australian NCAP and was equipped with six airbags. PT CSI will soon sell this SUV at a price starting at IDR 448.8 million for the FWD variant and IDR 488.8 million for the AWD variant. Orders have been open since today's launch.
