LONDON: The first UK deliveries are already underway for the Omoda 9 SHS, which is billed as setting a new benchmark in the premium plug-in hybrid SUV segment.
Customer deliveries have started through Omoda UK’s network of 74 retailers.
The Omoda 9 SHS is said to offer the refinement, quality, technology and safety of a large premium SUV at the cost of a mid-size alternative.
The Omoda 9 SHS has an advanced self-charging hybrid system – which also offers plug-in capability – and can deliver a WLTP range of over 1,126km, including up to 150km in pure electric mode.
Total system output reaches 449PS and 700Nm of torque – enabling 0 to 100kph in just 4.9 seconds.
It has a three-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, intelligent all-wheel drive and electromagnetic suspension.
Cabin noise is reduced to just 45.8 dB at urban speeds thanks to acoustic glass and specially designed acoustic tyres.
Standard features include a 540-degree panoramic camera system, cabin air purification, a 1.3-metre panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated seats for four occupants, and a premium 14-speaker Sony surround sound system.
A curved 24.6-inch HD display, ambient lighting and electronically reclining rear seats complete a cabin designed for quiet luxury.
Visually, the Omoda 9 SHS has a wide-body stance, and a dramatic LED front signature that illuminates on approach.
Omoda UK country director Victor Zhang said, "This model represents everything we stand for – intelligent engineering, elegant design and hybrid technology that fits seamlessly into daily life – without the premium price tag."
“Our SHS system, which also powers the best-selling Jaecoo 7 SHS, proves that hybrid technology has evolved,” he added.
