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.
