2025 Omoda 9: Chery group's priciest model yet in Australia is a 395kW PHEV SUV

2025 Omoda 9: Chery group's priciest model yet in Australia is a 395kW PHEV SUV

Perth Now4 days ago
The Omoda 9 may have a familiar name, but it's dramatically different from the last model to wear the Omoda badge here – and considerably more expensive.
Indeed, the Omoda 9 – a new flagship for the fledgling Omoda Jaecoo brand – is the most expensive vehicle from parent company Chery ever offered in Australia.
Available in a single, fully loaded Virtue trim, the Omoda 9 large SUV – due in Omoda Jaecoo showrooms from early August – is priced from $61,990 before on-road costs.
That makes it pricier than the current flagship from Chery's namesake brand, the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid Ultimate priced at $49,990 drive-away, and the previous Omoda Jaecoo flagship, the Jaecoo J8 Ridge AWD at $54,990 drive-away.

The Omoda Jaecoo brand is a step up from Chery and consists of more traditionally SUV-styled vehicles bearing the Jaecoo name and sleeker vehicles bearing the Omoda name, with the Omoda 9 being the first such model in Australia.
'Omoda' was previously used on the Chery C5 and E5 small crossover SUVs, before they were renamed – ostensibly to reduce confusion.
But the Omoda 9 is a much larger vehicle than the Chery Omoda 5, measuring 4775mm long, 1920mm wide and 1671mm tall on a 2800mm wheelbase – 35mm longer, 30mm wider and 4mm taller than a Mazda CX-60, which also offers a PHEV powertrain, if on a 70mm shorter wheelbase.
It also uses a dramatically different powertrain, as while there's a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine under the bonnet, producing 105kW of power and 215Nm of torque, it's mated with a three-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission Supplied Credit: CarExpert
It's also linked with two front electric motors and one rear electric motor, the latter giving the Omoda 9 all-wehel drive.
These each produce 75kW/170Nm, 90kW/220Nm and 175kW/310Nm respectively, with the company claiming a combined output of 395kW and a 0-100km/h time of just 4.9 seconds – making it the Chery group's quickest model yet in Australia then, too.
These electric motors are powered by a 34kWh nickel manganese cobalt battery, which gives the Omoda 9 an electric-only range under the NEDC cycle of 169km and total combined range of up to 1100km. Supplied Credit: CarExpert

2025 Volkswagen Tayron prices: Kia Sorento rival starts from under $50,000

The Volkswagen Tayron, a larger sibling to the new-generation Tiguan mid-size SUV that's available with a third row of seating, will start at $48,290 before on-road costs when it arrives here in September. That price is for the 110TSI Life, which costs $4300 more than the entry-level 110TSI Life version of the Tiguan Allspace it will replace. The front-wheel drive 110TSI Life is powered by a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. While it's significantly more expensive than the equivalent Tiguan Allspace, the entry-level Tayron upgrades from an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen to a larger 12.9-inch unit, while its transmission gets another gear, and there are additional features like a surround-view camera fitted as standard. Compared to the entry-level Tiguan 110TSI Life, the Tayron is $3300 more expensive. Stepping up to the 150TSI variants – the $53,990 plus on-roads Life, and $59,490 plus on-roads Elegance – gets you all-wheel drive and a more powerful 150kW 2.0-litre turbo four. Unusually, like the Tiguan, the 150TSI Life is a five-seater, while all other Tayrons feature seven seats. Topping the range is the all-wheel drive 195TSI R-Line at $73,490 before on-road costs, or $3000 more than the Tiguan 195TSI R-Line. It also comes with 2.0-litre turbo four, but this time with outputs of 195kW and 400Nm. All Tayrons come standard with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. While the base engine has the same outputs as in the outgoing Tiguan Allspace, the other engines boast more power. The 150TSI produces 18kW more power than the old Tiguan Allspace 132TSI, while the 190TSI produces 28kW and 50Nm more than the old 162TSI. The Tayron is based on the German automaker's MQB Evo platform and measures 4792mm – 64mm longer than the Tiguan Allspace it replaces – with luggage space expanding by 115 litres to 345L (measured to the top of the rear backrests). This expands to 850L in seven-seat versions with the rear seat folded, and an even larger 885L in the five-seat 150TSI Life. Six exterior paint colours will be offered from launch: Pure White, Oyster Silver Metallic, Dolphin Grey Metallic, Night Shade Blue Metallic, Grenadilla Black Metallic, and Ultra Violet Premium are the features Volkswagen Australia has detailed so far for the new Tayron range. The 110TSI Life comes standard with the following equipment: 18-inch alloy wheels Proximity entry Power tailgate Digital Cockpit Pro digital instrument cluster 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system Satellite navigation Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto DAB+ digital radio Wireless phone charger Park Assist Plus semi-autonomous parking Autonomous emergency braking Blind-spot monitoring Traffic sign recognition Front cross-traffic alert Rear cross-traffic alert Safe exit warning Surround-view camera Travel Assist The 150TSI Life adds: 4Motion all-wheel drive Adaptive chassis control (DCC Pro) Chrome roof rails and trim Rear privacy glass LED Plus headlights with illuminated light bar LED tail-lights with illuminated light bar The 150TSI Elegance adds: 19-inch alloy wheels Leather-appointed upholstery ergoActive front seats LED Plus headlights with illuminated centre strip LED Plus tail-lights with illuminated centre strip 15-inch Discover Pro Max infotainment system The 195TSI R-Line adds: 20-inch alloy wheels R-Line body kit R-Line interior Progressive steering Head-up display Harman/Kardon sound system HD Matrix LED headlights with adaptive high beam LED Plus tail-lights with dynamic indicators 15-inch Discover Pro Max infotainment system Optional on the 150TSI Elegance and 195TSI R-Line is: • Panoramic roof Optional on the 150TSI Elegance is: Sound & Vision package Optional on the 195TSI R-Line is: Black Style package Pricing
