OMODA 9 UK REVIEW: 443BHP PHEV WITH 93-MILE EV RANGE & REAL MPG TEST!

EV Channels Review

The Omoda 9 enters the UK market as a compelling plug-in hybrid SUV, offering a substantial 443bhp and an impressive 93-mile all-electric range. The reviewer highlights the surprisingly luxurious interior quality for its £45,000 price point, which is positioned competitively against rivals like the BMW X3 and Audi Q5. Standard features are extensive, including adaptive suspension, heated/cooled seats, and a premium Sony sound system. The real-world MPG test yielded a strong 47.9 MPG in Balanced mode, exceeding expectations. The reviewer praises the car's quiet and comfortable ride, excellent insulation from road noise, and the advanced technology, including 360 cameras and a clear head-up display. While the capacitive touch controls on the steering wheel are noted as a minor drawback compared to physical buttons, the overall cabin experience is deemed very good. The Omoda 9's performance is strong, with 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds, and it handles corners well, feeling more planted than its SUV stance might suggest, thanks to a low center of gravity. The reviewer is genuinely impressed, finding the Omoda 9 to be a surprisingly capable and well-equipped vehicle that challenges preconceptions about Chinese automotive brands. The 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, with an 8-year battery warranty, further adds to its appeal.
