Heralded as the most powerful drivetrain within the Omoda product lineup, the Omoda C9 PHEV is equipped with the Chinese manufacturer's latest wares, which also include a continuous damping control all-wheel system, a sizable 34kWh battery pack and a three-speed dedicated hybrid transmission. What gives it the claim of Omoda's most powerful powertrain is the 440kW and 915Nm derived from a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine combined with four electric motors.

The SUV offers some decent performance on paper, with Omoda claiming it can hit 100km/h from a standstill in 4.9s which is enough to have it rival some high-end performance SUVs from Europe. This performance may not be the contributing factor for buyers, but instead its 150km pure EV driving range and claimed 1 100km combined range. To replenish the battery, the C9 PHEV is capable of accepting DC fast charging which can get it from 30% to 80% charge in just 25 minutes.
At launch, South Africa has only received the full-house Explore model which includes niceties such as 20-inch wheels, Nappa leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof and heated seats. Other luxury appointments include 256 ambient lighting options to choose from, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay operated on a 25.6-inch display and a head-up display for the driver.
