Omoda 5 SHS-H Review 2026 | First Drive in New Hybrid Version

In this video, Alex has a first UK drive in the new Omoda 5 hybrid. This SHS-H model has much better efficiency figures than the pure petrol version and has a new face too. Also looked at is the interior, boot space and how it drives. *What is a First Drive?* A first drive is where we've only had around one day or less with the car, as apposed to the usual one week loan. This means limited time has been had with the car in terms of driving, but best efforts are made to convey impressions and what the car is like. More detailed reviews are available on the channel. If you’re considering alternatives, the closest rivals include the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage. #omoda #omoda5 #omoda5hybrid *Related Videos* https://youtu.be/0GcTZhH3AwU ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Equipment I use* See the equipment I use to make videos and everyday essentials (Affiliate) https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/theinterfacecars ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Octopus Electroverse* Use my link to sign up to Octopus Electroverse & we both get £5 charging credit! https://electroverse.octopus.energy/sign-up/magic?referralCode=reed-lane-11697 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Octopus Energy* Use my link to sign up to Octopus Energy & we both get £50 account credit! https://share.octopus.energy/lilac-owl-956 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *the interface* Website - https://theinterface.uk Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/theinterface.uk Merch - https://store.theinterface.uk https://twitter.com/the_interface_ https://www.linkedin.com/company/theinterfaceuk https://www.instagram.com/theinterfaceuk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Alex Lowe* Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/alexlowe30.uk https://www.instagram.com/alex.theinterface/ https://twitter.com/alexlowe30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Other Channels* Tech Videos - https://www.youtube.com/@theinterfacetech EV Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/@chargingstatus Ubiquiti Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/@uichatpodcast Creator Spotlight Podcast - https://www.youtube.com/@creatorspotlightpodcast ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Chapters* 0:00 - Intro 0:19 - Updates to the other Omoda 5 models 0:33 - Front Design 0:57 - Silent Glass 1:06 - Side Design 1:17 - Alloy Wheels 1:32 - Colours 2:16 - UK Pricing & Trim Levels 2:34 - Front Interior 11:01 - Back Seats 12:36 - Rear Design 13:33 - Boot Space 13:50 - Driving Refinement 14:54 - Road Noise 15:11 - Driving Comfort 15:29 - Visibility & Driving Position 16:28 - Performance & Handling 17:03 - Regenerative Braking 18:34 - Efficiency 19:22 - Conclusion 20:17 - Outro
