ANCAP Safety Report (PDF)

The Chery C5 was introduced in Australia in May 2025. This ANCAP safety rating for the Chery C5 is is based on testing of the Chery Omoda 5 and Chery Omoda E5.

ANCAP has confirmed the Chery C5 holds identical safety specification to the Chery Omoda 5. This ANCAP safety rating applies to Omoda C5 2WD petrol variants and Omoda E5 battery electric variants sold in Australia.

Dual frontal, side chest-protecting and side head-protecting (curtain) airbags are standard. A centre airbag which provides added protection to front seat occupants in side impact crashes is also standard.

Autonomous emergency braking (Car-to-Car, Vulnerable Road User, Junction Assist and Backover) as well as a lane support system with lane keep assist (LKA), lane departure warning (LDW) and emergency lane keeping (ELK), and an advanced speed assistance system (SAS) are standard equipment.

The lane support system (LSS) software running in Australian-supplied Omoda 5 vehicles was updated by Chery in April 2023. Additional tests of the emergency lane keeping (ELK) and lane keep assist (LKA) functionality were conducted on a vehicle with the updated software.

Performance in most LSS test scenarios was similar to the performance observed in vehicles fitted with the earlier software version, however the vehicle did not respond in a small number of ELK test scenarios and this is reflected in a reduced ELK score.
