Omoda&Jaecoo's Super Hybrid (Shs) technology gets a makeover and gets on board the new Omoda 9 SUV, the flagship entering the D-Suv segment where premium brands dominate.

With a list price starting at 51,900 euro, the new Omoda 9 has been available at dealers since the end of May and is offered with one trim, two interior options and four body colours.

We tested it along the roads of Franciacorta, among vineyards and picturesque landscapes.

Growth and the new model

Since the launch of Omoda&Jaecoo in Italy in July 2024, less than a year ago, 6,000 units have been sold in Italy and plans call for a new model in the B/C segment, the Omoda 3, to be introduced in 2026.

Returning to Omoda 9, the star of the test, we note generous dimensions: 4,779 mm long, 1,920 mm wide, 1,671 mm high and with a wheelbase of 2,800 mm. Luggage compartment capacity is 660 litres and reaches 1,783 litres by folding down the rear seatback.

The styling echoes that of the Omoda 5 suv, with a bold and futuristic design language that also looks at functionality with an aerodynamic coefficient of 0.308 for the benefit of fuel consumption, a strong point of the car that is claimed to have an overall range of 1,100 kilometres.

Comfortable and soundproof interior

The ele

ganza of body lines is also found inside the cabin. The adoption of premium materials such as Nappa leather and digitisation with the 12.3-inch dual screen makes the Omoda 9 an attractive option.

The decision to keep the climate control and the selection of driving modes with 'physical' wheels is functional and supported.

On board, soundproofing is a strong point of the car, thanks to the encapsulated heat engine and the adoption of Michelin tyres. While, to hear the sound of the soundtracks chosen for the journey, Omoda 9 is equipped with a Sony sound system.

Super Hybrid System

Under the bonnet, the Omoda 9 Super Hybrid is equipped with a thermally efficient 1.5 Tgdi engine, combined with two electric motors at the front, one at the rear and a three-speed DHT gearbox. The system unloads over 500 hp, 537 hp to be precise, on all four wheels, allowing 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 4.9 seconds. The overall range exceeds 1,100 km, and over 145 km in EV (Wltp homologation cycle), thanks to a 34.46 kWh battery and a 70-litre fuel tank, while consumption in hybrid mode is just 1.7 l/100 km.

Comfort and driveability are ensured by a sophisticated chassis with magnetically controlled CDC suspension, capable of modifying the response 1,000 times per second, a perfectly soundproofed and formaldehyde-free cabin.
