Omoda 7

Omoda 7 at a glance

Where the Omoda 7 sits in the range

Omoda sells only outside China, alongside its sister brand Jaecoo, and the story of both is told in the Omoda brand history. The 7 slots between the smaller Omoda 5 and the larger Omoda 9 in size and price. The full line-up is in the Omoda catalogue.

After the April 2024 reveal, the first launches came outside Europe, including South Africa on 11 November 2025. Spain received price lists in December 2025. The official European debut followed in February 2026 at London Fashion Week. In China the same body is sold as the Chery Tiggo 7L, revealed on 2 March 2026.

The SHS plug-in hybrid in detail

SHS stands for Super Hybrid System, Chery's name for its plug-in drive. Spanish data from km77 describe a 1.5-litre turbo four-cylinder running on the Miller cycle with 105 kW (143 PS), a 150 kW (204 PS) motor that drives the front wheels and a second 60 kW (82 PS) motor that works mainly as a generator. The combined output is 205 kW (279 PS), and Omoda UK dealers quote 365 Nm.

Early figures differed. Motor1 Spain reported 255 kW (347 PS) and 95 km in March 2025, before the official Spanish price list settled on 205 kW (279 PS). Wikipedia lists the Chinese engine at 115 kW (156 PS) and 220 Nm. For the petrol version, km77 notes 110 to 135 kW (150 to 184 PS) in other markets.

Charging, range and running costs

The battery takes up to 6.6 kW on AC and 40 kW on DC, which charges it from 30 to 80 per cent in about 20 minutes. Vehicle-to-load at 3.3 kW is standard in the UK. WLTP gives 56 miles (90 km) of electric driving; Electrifying.com expected 45 to 50 miles (72 to 80 km) in real use, and km77 estimated 60 to 70 km at motorway speeds.

With a full tank and battery, Spanish sources claim up to 1,250 km, and the UK figure is above 700 miles (1,127 km). Motor.es reported an average real consumption of about 4.4 l/100 km. The official CO2 rating in the UK is 23 g/km, and Electrifying.com lists a 10 per cent company car tax rate.

Cabin, screen and boot space

The dashboard is built around a 15.6-inch touchscreen with 2.5K resolution and 1,000 nits of brightness that can slide from the centre towards the passenger. Wikipedia lists nubuck leather upholstery, UK cars get eco-leather as standard, and the Sony "12+2" audio system places two speakers in the driver's headrest for navigation prompts and calls. Outside, the doors have recessed handles and the roof and pillars are painted black.

Boot figures disagree more than for most cars. Electrifying.com lists 590 litres with the seats up and 1,417 litres with them folded, an Omoda dealer quotes 639 litres, and km77 measured 401 litres. The differences suggest different measuring methods, so buyers who need a large boot should check the car in person.

Prices in Spain and the UK

Motor.es published Spanish list prices valid from December 2025: EUR 42,901 for the Pure trim and EUR 45,900 for the Premium, without discounts. Km77 gave a starting price of EUR 40,900 in July 2026, and both trims use the same plug-in drive. As a plug-in hybrid the car carries the DGT "0" emissions label in Spain.

In the UK, deliveries began on 8 May 2026 at £32,000 on the road. Electrifying.com lists £32,005 for Knight and £35,005 for Noble, which adds 20-inch wheels, a 1.45-metre panoramic roof, heated and ventilated front seats and a powered tailgate. A 1.6 TGDI petrol version was scheduled for later in the second quarter of 2026 at £29,915. The warranty is seven years or 100,000 miles, with eight years for the hybrid battery.

Omoda 7 against the Jaecoo 7 and Tiggo 7

The Omoda 7 shares its 205 kW (279 PS) rating with two group siblings. The Jaecoo 7 plug-in hybrid cost EUR 36,900 in Germany in January 2026 according to ADAC, and the Chery Tiggo 7 CSH cost EUR 34,990 in Romania in July 2025. Taxes differ between Spain, Germany and Romania, so the gaps are approximate, but the Omoda is the most expensive of the three.

For the higher price the Omoda adds about 11 cm of length over the Tiggo 7 and the sliding 15.6-inch screen.

Safety ratings

Euro NCAP had not published a result for the Omoda 7 by November 2026. The brand's other models scored well: the Omoda 5 received five stars in December 2022, and the Omoda 9 earned five stars in July 2025 with 90 per cent for adult occupants and 85 per cent for children.
