Omoda 5 SHS-H - recently established itself as a standout cost‑benefit choice among HEV and PHEV SUVs in Brazil, offering a rare mix of performance (224 cv), extensive equipment and an entry price of R$ 164.990 that pressures established rivals.
- In short: The Omoda 5 SHS-H pairs a 1.5 turbo HEV powertrain (224 cv / 30,1 kgfm) with a rich equipment list from R$ 164.990, making it a strong value play.
Understand the dynamics: performance, efficiency and equipment
The Omoda 5 SHS-H uses a conventional hybrid (HEV) setup—1.5 turbo gasoline with direct injection plus an electric motor—delivering combined figures that allow 0–100 km/h in 7,9 seconds while balancing consumption and thrust. Industry reviews note that hybrid systems often favour urban efficiency thanks to regenerative braking and electric assist; see Car and Driver for broader hybrid trends and comparisons.
Equipment-wise, the entry Luxury setup (R$ 164.990) includes a 24,6” integrated screen cluster, 7 airbags, 360° cameras and 18” alloys; the Prestige (R$ 184.990) adds Level 2.5 ADAS, power tailgate and premium interior trim.
"The powertrain delivers 224 cv and 30,1 kgfm combined, with 0–100 km/h in 7,9 seconds."
Context and impact: how it compares and what buyers should watch
Compared with the Toyota Yaris Cross XRX Hybrid (R$ 189.990), the Omoda 5 trades a bit of fuel economy for far more power: the Yaris Cross posts 17,9 km/l urban and 15,3 km/l highway (gasoline) but only 111 cv combined, producing gentler performance. That positions the Omoda 5 as the choice for buyers prioritizing driving dynamics and kit over maximum mileage figures.
Practical notes: the Omoda 5 is a mid‑sized SUV (4,44 m length, 1,82 m width, 2,61 m wheelbase) with four‑wheel discs and a multi‑link rear—features not always available at this price—but its 372‑litre trunk is slightly below segment expectations and should be considered by families.
