The Omoda 5 has some appealing factors, such a competitive list price, a long warranty and a smart interior, but it falls behind the Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai in key areas such as refinement, practicality and running costs. If you’re looking for a value-focused family SUV, the Citroën C5 Aircross and MG HS are better all-rounders.

Comfort is the entry-level trim and offers loads of kit for the money. It comes with adaptive cruise control, part-leather upholstery, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and heated and electrically adjustable front seats as standard.

The 184bhp 1.6-litre engine is the sole engine option in the Omoda 5. Despite offering competitive official performance figures, it does need to be worked hard to get any performance out of it. Official fuel economy isn’t great, either.
