The Omoda 7 is inbound as the fourth model in the the Chinese brand’s UK line-up and a twin of one of the fastest-selling cars in the UK.
Arriving in January 2026, the SUV will sit between the Omoda 5 and flagship Omoda 9 and be priced from £29,915.
It’s twinned with the Jaecoo 7, which last month outsold the Nissan Qashqai – a mainstay of the UK car parc that regularly places within the top five best-sellers.
Like its Jaecoo twin, the Omoda 7 will offer a 145bhp 1.6-litre petrol engine and a 201bhp plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Known as the SHS and priced at £32,000, the PHEV pairs a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 18.3kWh battery and an electric motor for 56 miles of EV driving. That’s more than dearer rivals, such as the Range Rover Evoque and Kia Sportage PHEVs.
As standard, the 7 gets a 15.6in touchscreen, smartphone mirroring, dual-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel and a six-speaker Sony audio system.
Noble, the higher of the two trim levels, adds ventilated ‘gaming-style’ seats, a panoramic roof, a powered tailgate and a more powerful 12-speaker audio system.
