OMODA C7 2026: Full Specifications, Features, Dimensions and Variants

The OMODA C7 specifications cover three variants Luxury, Elegance and a plug-in hybrid called SHS with the hybrid claiming 255 kW, 105 km of electric range and a total range of roughly 1,200 km.

It reached South African showrooms on 11 November 2025, so this is an established car there rather than a new reveal — and the figures below come from that launch rather than from anything announced locally.

One thing to settle first, because it causes real confusion. The C7 is not the OMODA 7 sold in Pakistan. Different model name, different market specification.

What follows is what OMODA itself states, what it does not state, and one pair of numbers that cannot both mean what they appear to mean.

OMODA C7 Engine, Power and Performance

The two petrol variants share a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder making 145 kW and 290 Nm through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. That is a healthy output for a crossover this size and needs no further explanation.

The SHS is the interesting one. It pairs a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine with an electric motor through a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission, and OMODA quotes 255 kW and 525 Nm combined, according to the figures in OMODA's own launch announcement.

Read that number correctly. The 255 kW is the whole system working together, not the output of the 1.5-litre engine alone.

A combined figure higher than either source could manage by itself is the signature of a plug-in hybrid whose engine can drive the wheels. That separates it from a range-extender, where the engine only ever generates electricity.

OMODA C7 Specs at a Glance

Every figure here is from OMODA's own launch announcement. Consumption and range are manufacturer claims, and OMODA names no test cycle behind them — so do not compare them against another car's WLTP or NEDC number.

Fuel Consumption, Emissions and the 30 g/km Puzzle

OMODA quotes the SHS at 5.0 L/100 km and 30 g/km of CO2. Those two numbers cannot describe the same test, and it is worth understanding why before you compare the car with anything else.

Burning five litres of petrol over 100 km releases somewhere around 110 to 115 grams of CO2 per kilometre. Thirty grams is a quarter of that. The gap is not an error — it is two different measurement bases printed side by side.

The low CO2 figure is the weighted plug-in number, measured with a charged battery so much of the test runs on electricity. The 5.0 L/100 km is closer to what the car uses once the battery is flat.

The lesson for any plug-in hybrid is the same: your real consumption depends on whether you charge it. Charge nightly on short trips and you may rarely use petrol. Never charge it and you are driving a heavy petrol SUV.

OMODA C7 SHS Battery and Charging

The SHS carries an 18.4 kWh LFP battery. Lithium iron phosphate is the chemistry you want in a hot climate, because it tolerates heat and full charges better than nickel-based alternatives.

Note the windows. One is a 50-point top-up, the other a 75-point one, so the two times are not comparable with each other or with another car's figure unless the percentages match.

OMODA C7 Dimensions and Boot Space

At 4,660 mm long on a 2,720 mm wheelbase, the C7 sits in the mid-size crossover class, and the long wheelbase relative to its length is what gives it rear legroom.

Length, wheelbase and ground clearance are confirmed. Width, height, kerb weight and fuel tank capacity come from the supplied international specification sheet and are not stated in OMODA's launch announcement, so confirm them against the sheet for your market.

Two numbers tell you most of what you need to know about the hybrid. It carries 277 kg more than the petrol car and gives up 77 litres of boot space — that is the battery making itself felt. It also sits 5 mm lower.

OMODA C7 Luxury vs Elegance vs SHS

The two petrol cars are mechanically identical, so choosing between Luxury and Elegance is purely about equipment. Elegance adds the visual and comfort items, including red brake calipers, while keeping the same engine, gearbox and 19-inch wheels.

The SHS is a different proposition altogether. It brings the plug-in powertrain, 20-inch wheels, the largest speaker count in the range and the most complete driver-assistance package, and it is the only variant with engine active noise control.

It also loses the spare tyre, which matters more here than it does in markets with dense roadside assistance. Worth asking the dealer what is supplied in its place.

OMODA C7 Interior and Technology

The OMODA C7 features a cabin built around a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen, with an 8.88-inch digital driver display alongside it, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless phone charging.

Beyond the screens, the specification sheet lists leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, a power tailgate, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air-conditioning outlets, a PM2.5 cabin filter and 256-colour ambient lighting.

Seat equipment is where the variants separate. Ventilation, heating, memory and massage functions appear on selected variants rather than across the range, so confirm which of them your chosen trim actually includes before ordering.

Audio scales with the trim too — the sheet lists six, eight and twelve speakers for Luxury, Elegance and SHS respectively.

OMODA C7 Safety Features and ADAS

The C7 range is specified with a full set of the expected electronics: ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, stability control, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, tyre pressure monitoring, ISOFIX child-seat anchorages and front and rear parking sensors.

The driver-assistance list is long. It includes adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and prevention, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, traffic jam assist, emergency lane keeping, driver fatigue monitoring and multi-collision braking.

Selected variants add 540-degree panoramic imaging, blind-spot detection, door-opening warning, rear cross-traffic alert and lane-change assist.

That phrase — selected variants — is doing real work. Ask for the trim-by-trim list rather than assuming the full set comes on your car. It is the most common source of disappointment on a well-equipped SUV.

OMODA C7 Colours

The brochure shows five exterior finishes: Khaki White, Carbon Crystal Black, Moonlight Silver, Mint Green and Matte Grey.

Colour availability is among the first things that changes between markets and model years, so treat this as the launch palette rather than a guaranteed order sheet.

OMODA C7 Launch Date and Price

OMODA states that the C7 reached South African showrooms on 11 November 2025. Launch prices were R539,900 for the Luxury, R589,900 for the Elegance and R689,900 for the SHS.

No separate date was given for the SHS, so we are not claiming the hybrid arrived alongside the petrol cars — the showroom date refers to the C7 range generally.

Those are South African prices in rand, not a guide to what the car would cost here. Converting them into rupees would not produce one either, because a market price includes duties, taxes, freight and local positioning, none of which travel with an exchange rate.

For Pakistan there is no launch date, no price and no booking process, and nothing official announces the C7 here at all.

OMODA C7 Warranty: The Strongest Thing in the Announcement

This is the part most coverage skips, and for a brand still building its reputation it is the most persuasive thing OMODA published.

These are South African launch terms and say nothing about what any other market offers.

Two things stand out. The SHS gets a longer factory warranty than the petrol cars — seven years against five — which is unusual, since hybrids normally attract more caution, not less.

And the battery pack is covered for ten years with no mileage limit for the first owner. That is the single biggest worry a plug-in hybrid buyer has, answered directly.

One caution on the roadside assistance. OMODA's own release says seven years in its summary list and five years, unlimited km, in the body text — the same document, two different numbers.

Get that term confirmed in writing before relying on it. It is exactly the sort of clause people lean on three years later.

OMODA C7 vs OMODA 7 in Pakistan

This is the part most likely to be got wrong. The model offered in Pakistan is the OMODA 7, not the C7, and the two names refer to different cars on different market specifications.

If what you actually want is the car you can buy here, our coverage of the OMODA 7 price in Pakistan is the relevant page, and the hybrid version is covered separately in our OMODA 7 PHEV specifications article.

Do not carry a figure across from this page to that one. A power output, a range claim or a battery capacity quoted for a South African C7 says nothing reliable about what a Pakistani OMODA 7 is homologated at.

Nothing official announces the C7 for Pakistan. If you are shopping in this part of the market, our Jaecoo J5 price in Pakistan coverage is worth a look, since Jaecoo is OMODA's sister brand under the same parent group.
