EV Channels Review
The Omoda 9 positions itself as a compelling value proposition against established European rivals like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. The reviewer highlights its smart exterior design, surprisingly premium interior materials, and extensive technology features, including a 14-speaker Sony sound system and a panoramic sunroof. The standout feature is its plug-in hybrid powertrain, boasting a substantial 449hp, 700Nm of torque, and an impressive electric-only range of up to 90 miles, with a claimed total range of 700 miles. However, the driving dynamics are noted as a weakness, with criticism directed at the unengaging steering, fidgety suspension at lower speeds, and a slight delay in throttle response. The reviewer also points out minor annoyances like fake exhaust pipes, a speedo placement that can be obscured by the steering wheel, and a rain sensor for the sunroof that didn't function as expected. Despite these drawbacks, the Omoda 9 is recommended for its strong value, smart tech, and performance, particularly for buyers prioritizing these aspects over a refined driving experience.
