OMODA PHILIPPINES, a subsidiary of Omoda Global which is set to distribute both ICE and New Energy vehicles in the country, is confident that the OMODA 5 will be one of the safest cars in the Philippines.Â
OMODA 5 Safety
Manufactured in a super factory, where almost everything is automated and powered by robotics, the Omoda 5’s build quality has been prioritized, aiming to deliver a very safe vehicle for future customers. In addition to that, the Omoda 5 also underwent an NVH reduction process in the super factory’s very own NVH Laboratory, ensuring a very quiet and comfortable cabin. Lastly, the car went through extreme punishment in the plant’s in-house crash test arena, where the vehicle was subjected to multiple crash simulations at different angles and speeds, allowing the car to score 5 STARS in the EUROPEAN NEW CAR ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (Euro NCAP). Â
The OMODA 5’s success in the most rigorous Euro NCAP test is attributable to its emphasis on users’ interests and its own highest pursuit of quality. The crossover SUV has catered to the key demands of global consumers from the R&D and design stage. It has not only made great advancements in body structure, safety configuration, and other aspects but also carried out adaptive development verification in different environments and road conditions around the world.
The OMODA 5’s body consists of high-strength steel as the main structure, with steel accounting for 78%. It can withstand pressures of up to 1800Mpa. Equipped with the above ultra-high-strength materials, the cage body has been designed and manufactured to maintain its overall structure without deformation in case of a collision. As for the cabin, the OMODA 5 is equipped with 7 airbags – including the driver and passenger seats, side airbag, side curtain, and middle airbag, which can provide all-around safety protection for occupants in the event of a collision.
