MANILA: The Chery Omoda 7 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) compact crossover SUV recorded a 8.0 seconds sprint from standstill to 100km/h during an extreme temperature test.
During the official tests, Shawn Xu, the international CEO for Omoda and Jaecoo, executed six acceleration sprints in the scorching heat, with temperature soaring above 76℃.
The Omoda 7 accelerated from a standstill to 100kph in an average time of 8.0 seconds, surpassing the official benchmark of 8.4 seconds.
In peak conditions, the vehicle can achieve 7.85 seconds acceleration time.
"This result directly confirms that Omoda 7 can still maintain non-attenuated power output as well as a stable and reliable performance under high-temperature conditions," said Xu.

The high-temperature endurance test is just the beginning.
The Omoda 7 will soon undergo further rigorous evaluations, including assessments of its pure electric cruising range and fuel consumption under power loss conditions in high temperatures.
These upcoming tests aim to address mileage concerns.
The Omoda 7 made its global debut at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition in April 2024.
