The OMODA 5 is a compact five-seat SUV sold with petrol, self-charging hybrid or electric power, in Knight or Noble trim. This guide explains what each powertrain and trim gives you, and who the car suits.
The OMODA 5 is a five-seat SUV, about 4.37 to 4.45 metres long, sold in one body style with a choice of petrol, self-charging hybrid or electric power. It suits drivers who want plenty of standard equipment and a long warranty without a big monthly commitment.
It's the car that introduced OMODA to UK buyers and it sits at the compact end of the brand's SUV range, squaring up to the household-name crossovers most families shortlist first. Reviewers consistently point to the value and the equipment count rather than the driving experience.
Choosing one is simple: a single SUV body, three powertrains, and two trims - Knight and Noble. Boot space is 370 to 380 litres depending on the version, and every 5 is automatic and front-wheel drive.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The 5 is a compact family SUV with a coupé-influenced roofline, five seats and a boot of 370 litres in the hybrid and electric versions, or 380 litres in the petrol. OMODA backs it with a 7-year / 100,000-mile manufacturer warranty.
Road testers generally agree on the shape of it: the cabin design and the amount of kit for the money impress, while ride comfort, the touchscreen menus and rear headroom draw criticism. Testers who have driven all three versions tend to rate the hybrid and the electric above the petrol for refinement.
Safety is a strong point. Euro NCAP awarded the 5 five stars, with 87% for adult occupant protection and 88% for safety assist.
Because the standard specification is unusually full for a car of this size, and leasing lets you run it inside the warranty period without worrying about what it's worth in three or four years. Every 5 is an automatic, which suits a lot of urban driving.
Adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, automatic high beam, LED headlights, rear parking sensors, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB radio, rain-sensing wipers and an electric parking brake are fitted across the range. Practical touches like power-folding mirrors and automatic headlights come as standard too.
Servicing falls due every 12 months or 10,000 miles, and braked towing is up to 1,100 kg - worth checking against your trailer or caravan weight before you order. If you're weighing up mileage and term, our guide to choosing your car lease is a sensible starting point.
Three choices: a petrol that never needs plugging in, a self-charging hybrid that doesn't either, and a fully electric version that does. All three are automatic and front-wheel drive.
The 1.6-litre turbo makes 145 bhp through a seven-speed automatic, reaching 62 mph in 10.1 seconds. WLTP economy is 37.7 mpg and CO2 is 168 g/km, so it's the thirstiest of the three, though all versions share the same braked towing capacity of up to 1,100 kg.
A 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine works with a small 1.83 kWh battery and a single-speed automatic for 221 bhp and 0-62 mph in 7.9 seconds. You never plug it in. WLTP economy is 51.4 mpg, which makes it the pick for high-mileage drivers without a charger.
A 61 kWh battery gives 208 bhp and up to 267 miles of WLTP range, with 0-62 mph in 7.2 seconds. Rapid charging runs 30-80% in 28 minutes at 130 kW on the best version, and a 11 kW home wallbox covers 30-80% in about four hours on the best version. Best if you can charge at home.

Two trims, Knight and Noble, and both are generously equipped - the question is whether the comfort extras on Noble matter to you.
Knight covers the essentials properly: 18-inch alloy wheels, connected navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a leather steering wheel and heated front seats, plus keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control, a rear-view camera, privacy glass and voice control. The Knight is currently available from £259.46 a month.
Noble adds a power sunroof, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats and a 360-degree surround view camera, along with a powered tailgate, ambient lighting and roof rails. It keeps the 18-inch alloys and adds synthetic leather upholstery. The Noble is currently available from £289.73 a month. Against the Knight, that is currently £30.26/mo more expensive.
If you're cross-shopping, the Leapmotor C10 and BYD Sealion 7 come at family SUV motoring from a similar direction, the Nissan Qashqai is the established benchmark, and the Kia EV4 is worth a look if you've settled on electric. More models sit on our OMODA leasing page.
