OMODA has officially launched the new OMODA C9 in South Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new flagship model will be available from launch in two generously equipped derivatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The C9 is offered in both front- (FWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) forms.

The C9 FWD\u2019s official retail price is R785,900.00, while the C9 AWD is R885,900.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the launch promotion, the FWD will be available for just R760,000.00 (R25,900 off) and the AWD for only R860,000.00 (R25,900 off) for the first month of sales.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OMODA’s flagship model has a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine that delivers 192 kW and 400 Nm through an 8-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to officially launch the cutting-edge new flagship OMODA C9, which we\u2019re convinced will turn heads with its cutting-edge yet elegant styling and an immensely long list of standard luxury features,\u201d said Shannon Gahagan from OMODA & JAECOO South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OMODA C9 FWD derivative has a lengthy list of standard equipment, such as 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate, black leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats (with heating and ventilation), a heated steering wheel and dual-zone climate control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other features include a combined 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, an 8-speaker Sony sound system, wireless smartphone charging, a head-up display, parking sensors, a 540-degree camera system, multi-colour ambient cabin lighting and a raft of highly advanced driver-assistance safety features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OMODA C9 AWD variant, on the other hand, adds luxury features, such as adaptive suspension, off-road driving modes, Nappa leather upholstery, a black-and-brown interior colour scheme, red brake callipers, a 12-speaker Sony sound system, an integrated fragrance system and an adaptive front lighting system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new OMODA C9 has a standard 7-year\/100,000 km service plan, a 7-year\/200,000 km vehicle warranty, and a 10-year\/1,000,000 km engine warranty (for the first owner).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OMODA was founded in 2022 and operates in several markets worldwide already. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was established as an independent brand within the Chinese-based Chery Group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the C9, the OMODA range in South Africa currently comprises six derivatives of the C5, including a limited-edition GT model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fully electric E5 will land in South Africa later this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OMODA currently has 39 dedicated dealerships across South Africa, with carefully selected coverage around the nation’s major metros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new brand is backed by the Chery Group\u2019s well-established parts warehouse and customer-care office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
