Gateway to Omoda badge more affordable with C5 Street model

Having dropped the price tag of the C5 to below R400 000 with the introduction of the Style grade in June, Omoda has gone a step further by debuting another derivative priced even lower at R329 900.

The new range opener of the C5 line-up, the Street knocks R35 000 off of the Style's asking price with a largely unchanged interior, but without the mainstay 1.5 T-GDI engine.

Aesthetically, the Street loses the LED headlights for halogen bulbs and the gloss black 17-inch wheels for more conventional silver alloys, still measuring 17-inches in diameter.

Also reduced are the choice of colours to four with Khaki White, Phantom Grey, Aerial Black and Carbon Crystal Black being the only options.
