Compare the Ford Explorer vs OMODA 5
AI generated from our expert reviews
For towing, the Omoda 5 can pull a heavier trailer than the Ford Explorer. On the motorway, both cars isolate you well from unwanted sound, as the Explorer's cabin remains hushed at speed while the Omoda 5 keeps wind, road and engine noise well contained once you are up to pace. Passengers in the back will notice a clear difference in space, however, because rear headroom is pretty good in the Explorer but very poor in the Omoda 5. The two also contrast sharply on twisty roads. The Explorer provides steering that is sharp and direct, along with very little body roll as you push through corners, whereas the steering in the Omoda 5 is very remote and gives you no real idea what the front wheels are up to.
