The all-new D-segment CUV, the Omoda C9, has just been officially unveiled by Chery to Malaysian customers, ahead of its arrival at dealerships in December this year.

The Omoda C9 is positioned in the D-segment CUV category, with dimensions of 4,775 x 1,920 x 1,671 mm in length, width, and height, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,800 mm. The size of this CUV is comparable to that of the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, and significantly larger than the Honda CR-V.

The Omoda C9 sports a youthful and modern design, highlighted by its diamond matrix-patterned grille and sleek LED daytime running lights that extend down to the side air vents. The rear combination lamps feature a slim design and are connected by a horizontal LED light bar that runs across the tailgate. It rides on 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin e-Primacy 245/50R20 tires.

In terms of interior, this vehicle offers a premium and modern experience with a host of conveniences, notably including Nappa leather upholstery. The front seats are equipped with ventilation, heating, and massage functions. A prominent feature on the dashboard is the 24.6-inch dual-screen display. The SUV also features a tri-zone automatic climate control system with interior fragrance, a digital video recorder (DVR), a head-up display (HUD), ambient lighting, and a 540-degree surround-view camera system.

The Omoda C9 is equipped with Level 2.5 autonomous driving technology and comes with an advanced ADAS package that includes blind-spot monitoring, open-door warning, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-change assist, and a passenger monitoring system.

Powering this CUV is a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine that produces 257 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, offering a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

The Omoda C9 is now available for pre-order through the Omoda – Jaecoo dealer network in Malaysia. Pricing starts from 185,000 to 195,000 RM, which roughly translates to 1.1 to 1.15 billion VND.
