Overview
The 2026 Chery C5 Urban is a five-seat petrol SUV with front-wheel drive and a 6-Speed Dual Clutch auto, making 108kW and 210Nm. Pricing is from about $27,500 est. RRP, which is an estimate before on-road costs, because Chery advertises drive-away prices rather than a list price. Claimed fuel use is 6.9L/100km combined and the boot holds 370 litres with the seats up. We don't have a braked towing figure on record yet, so if you plan to pull a trailer, check that with the dealer first. It suits a small family or a couple after a straightforward petrol SUV with a long warranty.

Range in the real world
How far a tank really takes you once speed, load and towing are counted, not just the lab figureTowing and load
The 4WD and load hardware this variant lists, the rig calculator, the load plans and the cost to towCost to tow
The real fuel/energy cost once you hitch up. Pick a trailer and trip.
⚠ Not every limit could be checked: the manufacturer publishes no GCM for this vehicle, so this verdict rests only on the limits that are published.
Estimate only: consumption rises as range falls; real use varies with terrain, wind and load.
Off-Road Capability
The wedges are drawn from this vehicle’s published approach, departure and breakover angles, and the water line marks its published wading depth.
Unladen figures. Approach, departure and breakover angles and ground clearance all reduce once the vehicle is loaded with passengers, cargo or towball weight, so treat these as a best-case guide.
Manufacturer-published figures, shown as a guide. Not independently verified and may vary by variant, trim, tyre or model year. Vehicle drawings are schematic and ride-height differences are exaggerated for legibility. Confirm with the manufacturer before relying on them for off-road planning.
Child seats and anchors
ISOFIX lower anchors clip a compatible child seat straight to the car's frame, the quickest, most mistake-proof fit.
Top-tether straps stop a forward-facing seat pitching in a crash. Australian law requires a tether on every forward-facing child seat, so rear seats almost always have them.
Most 5-seat cars carry 2 ISOFIX on the outer 2nd-row seats plus tethers across the row; some 7-seaters add anchors in the third row.

The 2026 Chery C5 Ultimate is a compact SUV that delivers practical everyday transport for budget-conscious Australian families, offering five seats and a 370-litre boot with an efficient 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 108kW. Its standout strength is the combination of a 5-star ANCAP safety rating (tested 2022) and a comprehensive 7-year warranty, providing genuine peace of mind alongside respectable 6.9L/100km fuel economy and estimated annual running costs around $2814. One consideration is that at 1432kg, the C5 Ultimate's modest 1.5-litre engine means it prioritises efficiency over performance, so acceleration feels leisurely rather than spirited-fine for city driving but worth test-driving if you regularly tackle steep terrain or motorway merging.
