The Japanese brand also has only one electric vehicle (EV) here, the slow-selling Solterra SUV, which was developed in partnership with Toyota and twinned with that brand's bZ4X. While the Forester is expected to sell well given the nameplate's figures in recent years, the Solterra is currently down 56.5 per cent year-to-date with only 121 deliveries in 2025.

ASX-listed IAG and its former subsidiary Bond & Credit Co – now owned by Japanese insurer Tokio Marine – are fighting creditors of Lex Greensill's collapsed financing empire in Federal Court and trying to finalise defence statements ahead of a trial slated for August 2026 in Sydney.

2025 Omoda 9 price and specs

Chery says its spinoff brand Omoda Jaecoo is a step up from its namesake brand, and at the top of the hierarchy is the Omoda 9. Priced at $61,990 before on-road costs, this medium-to-large five-seat crossover SUV is the priciest model ever offered by Chery in Australia. It's arriving in local showrooms in early August, offered exclusively with a tri-motor plug-in hybrid powertrain offering some heady stats: 169km of electric-only range, combined range of up to 1100km, total system power of 395kW, and a claimed 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 4.9 seconds.

It's slightly larger than a Mazda CX-60 – 35mm longer, 30mm wider and 4mm taller – and is offered in one fully loaded grade for less than the most affordable plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of its Japanese rival. The Mazda CX-60 P50e Pure, for context, is priced at $63,290 before on-roads. The Omoda 9 joins the Jaecoo J7 and J8 in Omoda Jaecoo showrooms. Omoda-badged vehicles will have sleeker, crossover-style styling, while Jaecoo-badged models have more traditional SUV styling. Here's an explainer. The Omoda 9 rides on MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension with Continuous Damping Control. There are selectable Eco, Normal, Sport, Snow, Sand and Off-road drive modes, and three levels of regenerative braking. 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 eight years or 120,000km of capped-price servicing. Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first. The Omoda 9 has yet to be tested by safety authority ANCAP. However, in testing by sister authority Euro NCAP, it received a five-star rating.
