The engine has been slightly upgraded to deliver a maximum output of 156 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque. It is paired with a powerful 204 horsepower/310 Nm electric motor and a dedicated hybrid single-speed transmission (DHT).

The combined power of this system reaches 360 horsepower and 530 Nm of torque, an improvement of 13 horsepower and 5 Nm over the Jaecoo J7 PHEV. Despite the increase in power, the Omoda C7 PHEV still accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 8.5 seconds, on par with its Jaecoo counterpart.

With a full battery and a full tank of gas, the Omoda C7 SHS boasts an impressive total range of 1,258 km. Charging the battery is convenient through a charging port located on the right rear fender.
