ALL-NEW OMODA C9 SHS LANDS: AND IT'S AN SUV GAMECHANGER
ALL-NEW OMODA C9 SHS LANDS: AND IT'S AN SUV GAMECHANGER
If you think an SUV can't also be a performance car, the all-new OMODA C9 SHS is here to change your mind. With breathtaking figures – 440 kW of combined power, 915 Nm of torque and a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 4.9 seconds – this is a car that brings serious muscle, matched by sharp hybrid efficiency and striking design. It's a bold new flagship for drivers who want it all.
Otherwise known as a PHEV or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, the new C9 SHS pairs a petrol engine with electric motors and a rechargeable battery. It can drive on electric power alone, switch to petrol or combine both — cutting emissions, saving on fuel costs and delivering a smarter, cleaner way to enjoy serious performance.
HYBRID POWER, PURE THRILL
Under the sculpted bonnet sits a clever blend of a 1.5-Litre Turbocharged Petrol Engine paired with Four Electric Motors and a dedicated 3-Speed Hybrid Transmission. Together, they produce the kind of remarkable performance stats more often found in serious sports machines than luxury SUVs.
And it's not just headline-grabbing speed either. The instant pull from the electric motors means the new C9 SHS launches off the line with impressive urgency. Yet even with all that performance, you still enjoy a Combined Range of up to 1 100 km, thanks to a generous 34.46 kWh Battery and smart energy management.
Average combined fuel use? A mere 6.9 L/100 km. Need to go all-electric? It can cover up to 150 km without using a drop of petrol.
SHOW STEALER
The all-new C9 SHS doesn't shy away from attention either. Its bold proportions, distinctive LED Light Signatures and flowing lines make it stand out whether it's parked or in motion. Black design accents and aerodynamic style detail hint at the power beneath, while OMODA's distinctive finishes give it a genuinely upmarket feel.
Confident without trying too hard, the new C9 SHS manages to look just as at home rolling through Sandton as it does hugging the curves of a weekend coastal road. This is an SUV that won't go unnoticed.
LUXURY THAT FEELS PERSONAL
Inside, the new C9 SHS blends driver-focused design with luxurious, tech-rich surroundings. Soft-touch finishes and carefully chosen materials wrap you in comfort, while Ambient Lighting creates an atmosphere that can shift with your mood. Expansive digital displays keep essential information front and centre, and are complemented by Wireless Connectivity, Intuitive Voice Command and Multi-Zone Climate Control.
Everything is designed to work seamlessly. Whether you're syncing your playlists, navigating tricky city streets or simply settling in for a long haul, it all feels easy and sophisticated.
SMART SAFETY THAT'S ALWAYS ON
With so much power on tap, it's good to know the new C9 SHS backs it up with serious safety systems. You'll find Advanced Driver Assistance Systems at every turn, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Keeping Aids, a 540-Degree Camera and a Full Suite Of Airbags. Together, they give you the confidence to enjoy the drive — and all that torque — without second-guessing what's happening around you.
WHY IT'S WORTH A CLOSER LOOK
For South Africans weighing up their next big step into premium SUVs, the all-new OMODA C9 SHS is hard to ignore. Size and spec-wise, it stands shoulder to shoulder with luxury European options, yet with a starting price from just R999 000, it's far more attainable. It combines sports-car acceleration, long-haul efficiency and striking design in one remarkably complete package.
Where rivals often make you choose between luxury, power or smart running costs, the C9 SHS brings all three. It's a clear signal of where OMODA wants to go — into a space where advanced technology meets real-world driveability, all wrapped in style that feels a cut above the usual.
Extraordinary? It's fair to say the new C9 SHS makes it more than just an idea — it puts it right under your foot, ready to be unleashed.
