440kW Omoda C9 PHEV coming to South Africa this month
The Omoda C9 PHEV is set to launch in South Africa this month, bringing a formidable plug-in hybrid punch to the SUV market. Looking for a new or used Omoda C9? Find it here with CARmag! This new offering boasts 440kW of power and 915N.m of torque, derived from a 1.5l turbo-petrol engine combined with four electric motors. This output positions the C9 PHEV to challenge performance SUVs that are significantly more expensive. While official acceleration figures are yet to be released, the substantial power output suggests a 0–100km/h time that could potentially rival some German competitors. Of particular note are the impressive efficiency claims: Omoda states the C9 PHEV consumes just 1.4l/100km and features a 34.5kWh battery, providing an electric-only range of up to 150km — more than double what many PHEVs currently offer. The total claimed range extends to approximately 1 100km, and DC fast charging allows for a 30% to 80% charge in just 25 minutes. Visually, the C9 PHEV is nearly identical to its petrol-powered counterpart, with the key differences lying beneath the surface and in its badging. Initially, South Africa will receive only the top-spec Explore model. While final specifications are pending confirmation, it is anticipated to include features such as 20-inch wheels, Nappa leather upholstery, a panoramic roof, and heated seats for all occupants. Given the petrol C9's existing features, adaptive suspension and a 540-degree camera system are also likely to be carried over. Related: Review: Omoda C7 SHS As a reminder, the Omoda lineup currently comprises two models, namely the 2.0TGDI 400T Inspire and the 2.0TGDI 400 T Explore AWD, which are priced at R785 900 and R885 900 respectively. The jury is still out on pricing, but with the added tech, it could approach the clutches of a seven-figure price tag. Click here and browse thousands of new and used vehicles here with CARmag!

Omoda C9 PHEV: Here's pricing and specs
Omoda officially launched its potent C9 PHEV in South Africa yesterday. Stay tuned for driving impressions, but in the meantime, here is pricing and specification of the flagship model. Looking for a new or used Omoda C9? Find it here with CARmag! 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. Related: Review: Omoda C7 SH 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.
