What is it?
The Omoda 9 is the flagship of Chery's standalone Omoda marque and its most convincing car yet. The Super Hybrid System teams a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with three electric motors for 395 kW combined and all-wheel drive, while a 34 kWh battery delivers a claimed 145 km of WLTP electric range and around 1,100 km combined. It lands as a single, fully loaded Virtue grade at $67,207 drive-away, with a 5-star ANCAP rating, an 8-year unlimited-km warranty and a 660 L boot. Priced against the BYD Sealion 6 and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, it undercuts petrol large SUVs on running costs while stepping up on power and standard equipment.
Single grade on offer in Australia. Warranty cover sits at 8 years, unlimited km. Battery: 8 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
395 kW combined from a tri-motor Super Hybrid System, a 34 kWh battery good for a claimed 145 km of WLTP electric range and around 1,100 km combined, 5-star ANCAP, and an 8-year unlimited-km warranty, all at one drive-away price.
Five seats only, so it cannot answer a Sorento or Santa Fe on people-moving. The brand is new to Australia so resale is unproven and the Omoda Jaecoo dealer network is still growing outside the capital cities.
Should you buy the Omoda 9?
Reasons to buy

Reasons to wait

- You need seven seats (the Omoda 9 is a five-seater), you want an established resale track record, or you would rather a pure petrol or diesel large SUV without a battery to charge.
- Confirm your home charging plan, the 34 kWh battery rewards owners who can charge at home to use the 145 km EV range. Check dealer coverage in your area, and drive it back to back against the Sealion 6 and Outlander PHEV on price and EV range.
- Top trim climbs to $67,207 drive-away.
