2025 Omoda 9: Chery group's priciest model yet in Australia is a 395kW PHEV SUV
Indeed, the Omoda 9 – a new flagship for the fledgling Omoda Jaecoo brand – is the most expensive vehicle from parent company Chery ever offered in Australia.
Available in a single, fully loaded Virtue trim, the Omoda 9 large SUV – due in Omoda Jaecoo showrooms from early August – is priced from $61,990 before on-road costs.
That makes it pricier than the current flagship from Chery's namesake brand, the Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid Ultimate priced at $49,990 drive-away, and the previous Omoda Jaecoo flagship, the Jaecoo J8 Ridge AWD at $54,990 drive-away.

The Omoda Jaecoo brand is a step up from Chery and consists of more traditionally SUV-styled vehicles bearing the Jaecoo name and sleeker vehicles bearing the Omoda name, with the Omoda 9 being the first such model in Australia.
'Omoda' was previously used on the Chery C5 and E5 small crossover SUVs, before they were renamed – ostensibly to reduce confusion.
But the Omoda 9 is a much larger vehicle than the Chery Omoda 5, measuring 4775mm long, 1920mm wide and 1671mm tall on a 2800mm wheelbase – 35mm longer, 30mm wider and 4mm taller than a Mazda CX-60, which also offers a PHEV powertrain, if on a 70mm shorter wheelbase.
It also uses a dramatically different powertrain, as while there's a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine under the bonnet, producing 105kW of power and 215Nm of torque, it's mated with a three-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission
It's also linked with two front electric motors and one rear electric motor, the latter giving the Omoda 9 all-wehel drive.
These each produce 75kW/170Nm, 90kW/220Nm and 175kW/310Nm respectively, with the company claiming a combined output of 395kW and a 0-100km/h time of just 4.9 seconds – making it the Chery group's quickest model yet in Australia then, too.
These electric motors are powered by a 34kWh nickel manganese cobalt battery, which gives the Omoda 9 an electric-only range under the NEDC cycle of 169km and total combined range of up to 1100km.
Standard equipment includes:
20-inch alloy wheels
Projector LED headlights
Panoramic sunroof
Power tailgate
Head-up display
12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Wired and wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto
Satellite navigation
14-speaker Sony sound system (incl. two headrest speakers)
50W wireless phone charger
Heated and ventilated front seats
Heated and ventilated outboard rear seats
8-way power driver's seat with thigh support extension
Heated steering wheel
In-built fragrance system
Colour-adjustable ambient lighting
Autonomous emergency braking
Blind-spot monitoring
Driver attention monitoring
Lane-keep assist
Emergency lane-keep assist
Rear cross-traffic assist
Safe exit warning
Semi-autonomous parking assist
Front, rear and side parking sensors
Surround-view camera
8 airbags
Don't expect a range of exterior paint colours, though – there are only white, grey, silver and black exterior finishes available, plus a mandatory black interior.
The Omoda 9 is backed by an eight-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty for both the vehicle and its high-voltage battery. Omoda Jaecoo also offers eight years of roadside assistance and capped-price servicing.

Chery taking on Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-80 with new plug-in hybrid large SUV
The Chery Tiggo 9 will be the next model from the Chinese brand to offer its Super Hybrid technology. Chery has confirmed the Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid will complete its quartet of electrified SUVs in Australia as part of a promotional tie-in with, what else, Marvel's upcoming film The Fantastic Four: First Steps. It joins two other plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid and Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid, which are launching now, plus the Tiggo 4 Hybrid – a conventional hybrid small SUV that can't be plugged in. Featuring seven seats, the Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid will become the Chery brand's flagship model. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Chery has previously confirmed the Tiggo 9 is due on sale here during the third quarter (July to September) of 2025, but hadn't confirmed what powertrains it would offer. It's unclear if the Tiggo 9 will also be available locally with its petrol powertrain: a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 183kW of power and 385Nm of torque. The Tiggo 9 is a close relation to the Jaecoo J8 which, confusingly, is sold as the Chery Tiggo 9 in China. That means we'll therefore get both the 'global' Tiggo 9 and the Chinese-market one already on sale. The Chinese-market Tiggo 9 is offered with a PHEV powertrain comprising a 115kW/220Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine mated with a three-speed transmission and a 165kW/390Nm electric motor, for total system outputs of 280kW and 610Nm. Chery Australia hasn't confirmed performance, range or economy figures, but has confirmed the local Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid will continue to use a turbo 1.5-litre engine mated with a three-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission. Pricing remains a question mark, though the smaller Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid is priced from $45,990 to $49,990 drive-away. The Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid is therefore expected to be pricier, though it may still significantly undercut rivals such as the Mazda CX-80 P50e (priced from $76,245 before on-roads) and Kia Sorento PHEV (from $84,660 before on-roads). The Chinese-market Tiggo 9 launched here earlier this year with Jaecoo J8 badging, exclusively in a five-seat configuration with a turbocharged petrol engine. Chery's spinoff brand Omoda Jaecoo said it'll provide feedback from customers to its head office about a potential lineup expansion, including the introduction of a PHEV powertrain. At 4810mm long and 1925mm wide on a 2800mm wheelbase, the Tiggo 9 is almost identical in size to the Kia Sorento. In addition to slightly different exterior styling, including a unique grille and C/D-pillar treatment, the Chery Tiggo 9 and Jaecoo J8 differ in interior layout. The 'global' Tiggo 9 features a different dashboard with a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen. Given Chery's focus on the 'family, urban buyer', the Tiggo 9 is set to miss out on some of the more decadent features in the Jaecoo J8, such as its fragrance dispenser. However, given how widely available luxury features like ventilated front seats and panoramic sunroofs are in the Chery Australia lineup, we don't expect the Tiggo 9 to be barebones at all. Stay tuned to CarExpert for more coverage on the Chery Tiggo 9.
