Chery Omoda5 vs Hyundai Inster

What's the difference?

Visit Chery’s website, click on the Omoda 5 GT and you’ll find references to its “dynamic personality”, “distinctive face” and “cinematic elegance”.

Is this a show-stopping movie star or a new, sporty compact SUV? Maybe in the context of our video review of the car it can be both?

Either way, it extends the still fresh Omoda 5 line-up from two grades to four, adding the option of all-wheel drive at the same time.

It’s aimed at premium versions of small SUV favourites like the GWM Haval Jolion, Hyundai Kona, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and Subaru Crosstrek, expanding the new challenger brand’s scope in this intensely competitive segment.

So, read on to see if the Omoda 5 GT has the star quality required to enhance your urban life.

There are really only four things you need to know about the all-new Hyundai Inster. It's small outside, yet surprisingly big inside. It's all electric. It's cute as a button. And it's as practical as a Swiss army knife.

Actually, there's one more thing. It's cheap for an EV. But it's still not that cheap, given the wave of cut-price Chinese product now on our shores.

So, can the Hyundai Inster carve itself a slice of the entry-level EV market?
