AI generated from our expert reviews

When deciding between the OMODA 5 and the Renault 4 E-Tech, you will find that both contain wind and road noise well at motorway speeds, and neither feels particularly fun on twisty roads. However, there are clear differences in how they function. The OMODA 5 is longer than the Renault 4 E-Tech and can tow more. Around town, the Renault 4 E-Tech provides decent visibility all round, whereas visibility in the OMODA 5 is quite poor, especially for taller drivers. Inside, the Renault 4 E-Tech has an infotainment system that is quick to respond to your touch and easy to use, while the setup in the OMODA 5 is in general a bit of a pain to use.
