The Omoda brand is currently only represented in South Africa by the C5, which made its local debut in 2023.
After the Beijing Motor Show last week, Omoda used the opportunity to reveal to the assembled motoring media in Wuhu the latest model in its stable, the Omoda 7. It will be rebadged as the C7 per the South African naming convention. This new model has been earmarked South African customers, but no timeline has been set yet.
The C7 is 4 621m long, 1 872mm wide and 1 673mm tall, with a wheelbase of 2 700mm. The cabin features a steering wheel inspired by the PlayStation 5’s Dual Sense controller and the nubuck leather front seats are similarly fashioned. The 15.6-inch infotainment screen can be slid across the dashboard to be positioned right in front of the passenger.
The powertrain is still being kept a secret, but what Omoda did let slip is that the C7 will come with 'an extreme energy-saving mode' that allows this model to reach 1 200km on a full tank of unleaded and a fully-charged battery.This is the first of the fresh batch of new models headed to South Africa, as it will arrive early in the second half of 2024. Quite simply, it's the all-electric version of our current C5 and C5 GT models.
