Chery Arrizo 5 Overview: Sunroof, Head-Up Display and Massage Seats in a Compact Sedan at AED 55,000

Dubai: The Chery Arrizo 5 is a compact sedan for buyers who want a long feature list on a small budget. It costs AED 55,000 and runs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with 117 hp, which you can read about in our Arrizo 5 engine breakdown. This overview covers price, styling, cabin, tech, safety and rivals, so you can decide quickly whether it deserves a test drive.

AED 55,000 at a Glance: Price and Powertrain

Chery keeps the mechanical side simple. The engine is built around thermal efficiency, which means it tries to get more power from every litre of fuel. The CVT gives smooth, shift-free acceleration in stop-start traffic.

Sharp Lines, Six Shades: The Exterior

The Arrizo 5 has a dynamic front grille with advanced LED headlights and signature daytime running lights. LED taillights carry the same look to the rear. The 16-inch rims keep the stance neat rather than flashy. Six colours are on offer. Our colour guide covers each one. I'd pick Khaki White or Nasdaq Silver for UAE summers, since lighter paint shows less heat and dust.

Headlights	Advanced LED with signature DRLs
Tail lights	LED
Wheels	16-inch rims
Colours	Carbon Crystal Black, Khaki White, Phantom Grey, Jewel Red, Nasdaq Silver, Rhine Blue

Leather, Sunroof and Massage: Inside the Cabin

This is where the Arrizo 5 punches above its price. You get a leather interior, a 6-way manual driver's seat and electric air conditioning. A panoramic sunroof adds light and space. A massage function is also available, which is rare in a car this size. 

Our look at the Arrizo 5's exterior style and cabin comfort goes deeper. It seats five on a 2,670 mm wheelbase, which suits small families. The sunroof is lovely in winter. In summer, check how the cabin copes with the heat.

Screens, Speakers and a Head-Up Display: The Tech

The 8-inch touchscreen handles infotainment. A 3.5-inch cluster sits behind the wheel. Four speakers cover audio. The head-up display is the surprise, because it puts speed in your line of sight. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep your phone close. I'd say the head-up display is the most useful extra here. It keeps your eyes on the road in busy Sheikh Zayed Road traffic.

Safety: What Protects You

Chery uses a reinforced chassis and a 2-airbag system. Driver aids include a tyre pressure monitoring system, cruise control, rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera and ADAS. We have a full piece on Arrizo 5 safety and driver assistance. Chery has not detailed which ADAS functions are fitted. Two airbags are also modest, so ask the dealer about both.

Our Verdict: Who Should Buy the Arrizo 5

The Arrizo 5 is a feature-rich, easy-to-drive sedan. It suits first-time buyers, small families and daily commuters who want comfort and tech without a bigger budget. Airbag count is the one thing to question.
