LONDON: In a bold demonstration of real-world range testing, Omoda UK put its flagship SUV, the Omoda 9 SHS (Super Hybrid System) to the test on a tour across nine European countries.
The Omoda 9 plug-in hybrid exceeded its WLTP estimate of 700 miles (1,126km) and completing the route using the power of only one charge and one tank of fuel.
Remarkably, 730 miles (1,175km) were accomplished with no refuelling or concerns, and plenty more still left in the 70-litre fuel tank.
The nine-country tour began in England on the white cliffs of Dover and traced a path through France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria.
The Omoda 9’s proprietary Chery International-derived super hybrid powertrain combines near-silent propulsion with acoustically optimised tyres and glass.
The cabin offers passengers a 24.6-inch curved screen display, ambient lighting, PM3.0 Air Purification, and fully reclining heated and ventilated seats.
Powered by a 1.5-litre TGDI engine, dual electric motors and a 34.46 kWh M3P battery, the Omoda 9 delivers 449PS, 700Nm of torque, and acceleration from 0-100kph in just 4.9 seconds.
During the nine-country tour, the Omoda 9’s six drive modes ensured smooth progress across every terrain and climate.
Whether in the congestion of rush-hour Brussels, cruising past sun-drenched hay bales in rural France, or summoning instant torque for the high-speed corridors of the autobahn, the Omoda 9 delivered consistent power, efficiency, and comfort at every turn.
The Omoda 9 has 660 litres of rear luggage space, expanding to 1,783 litres with split-folding rear seats.
Omoda UK CEO Gary Lan said, “For the Omoda 9 and team to have completed the nine countries trip is a huge accomplishment. We challenged the convention of what a plug-in hybrid can do."
“Our core values; quiet luxury, intelligent technology, and bold design, come together in the Omoda 9. Next time you see an Omoda 9, just think where else it could take you on one tank and one charge.”
