Omoda X Revealed in China: Night Vision & Key Features

The Omoda X was revealed in China on 20 October 2026 with a thermal night-vision system claimed to recognise objects at up to 90 metres, 200 mm of ground clearance and a claimed 1,800 kg towing maximum.

It is also, by most accounts, a concept. Its full specifications have not been detailed, and production has not been confirmed for any market.

That matters before anything else, because a car has to be built before it can be sold and several of the figures below are claims or targets rather than measured specifications.

What Was Actually Revealed


Omoda & Jaecoo showed the X in China as the public face of a design direction the company calls CROSSVOLUTION, aimed at a more rugged, outdoors-oriented crossover than its existing range.

The vehicle shown wore 19-inch alloys with all-terrain tyres, which is unusual at this size and signals the positioning clearly enough.

But coverage of the reveal is consistent on two points: the car is presented as a concept, and production and market plans are unconfirmed. One outlet refers to it as a 2027 model, which is as precise as anyone can currently be.

The Night Vision System: 90 Metres, Claimed


This is the headline feature and a first for the brand. The Omoda X night vision system uses infrared thermal imaging with a claimed recognition range of up to 90 metres.

Thermal imaging works differently from a camera. It detects heat rather than light, so it picks out people, animals and other warm objects in complete darkness, through glare from oncoming headlights, and in haze or light fog where a normal camera sees nothing.

On an unlit Pakistani road at night — pedestrians in dark clothing, buffalo, a stationary cart with no reflectors — that is genuinely the most useful safety technology in this specification.

Two cautions, though. The 90 metres is a manufacturer recognition-range claim, not an independently tested result, and thermal systems see heat: a cold concrete block or an unlit kerb barely registers. It is an aid to a driver's own attention, not a substitute for slowing down.

Ground Clearance, Wading and Towing


The off-road numbers reported at the reveal are the part most worth understanding, because one of them is explicitly a target.

Figure Reported Status
Ground clearance 200 mm Reported at reveal
Wading depth over 700 mm Claimed
Towing 1,800 kg Claimed maximum; described elsewhere as a target
Roof load 75 kg Reported

Figures from reporting on an unproduced concept. Rugged styling and a claimed capability are not the same as independently tested capability, and none of these numbers has been verified on a production vehicle.

For local context, 200 mm of ground clearance is the figure that would matter most day to day — not for off-roading, but for speed breakers, broken edges of road and standing water during monsoon. It is comfortably above a typical crossover.

Dimensions and Interior


The Omoda X dimensions published at reveal are 4,650 mm long, 1,910 mm wide and 1,720 mm tall roughly the footprint of a Toyota RAV4, so a mid-size SUV rather than a compact one. These are the only Omoda X specs given for the body so far.

Inside there is a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster alongside a 13.2-inch central touchscreen, and the company makes a point of having kept physical controls rather than moving everything to the screen.

A claimed 39 storage spaces is also quoted, which is the kind of number that sounds better in a press release than it feels in a car. Treat all of this as provisional: full specifications have not been detailed, and interior equipment is the first thing that changes between a concept and a showroom.

Powertrains: PHEV or EV, and No Conventional Hybrid


The Omoda X is reported with two powertrain options: plug-in hybrid or fully electric, each available with two-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Worth being precise, because these get muddled constantly. A PHEV has a petrol engine plus a battery large enough to plug in and run some distance on electricity alone, while an EV has no engine at all.

A conventional hybrid, which charges a small battery from the engine and never plugs in, is a third thing and no hybrid version of the Omoda X has been announced.

Battery capacities, power outputs and electric-only range have not been published for either version. If such a car ever reached Pakistan, the proposed tax treatment would matter as much as the specification see our coverage of the EV policy and parts duty proposals, which set different sales-tax rates for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Omoda X Price in Pakistan and Launch Status


There is no Omoda X price in Pakistan, no booking channel and no launch date, and the reason is simpler than usual: the car is not in production anywhere.

Any figure or Omoda X launch date in Pakistan quoted today is speculation about a concept. The honest sequence is production confirmation first, then a market allocation, then a local specification, then a price.

What Omoda & Jaecoo Already Sell Here


This is the useful part, and it is why the brand is worth following. Omoda & Jaecoo is not a newcomer to Pakistan it is distributed by NexGen Auto, part of the Nishat Group, through around twenty dealerships.

Five models launched on 1 August 2025 are on the market: the Omoda E5, Jaecoo J5, Jaecoo J6, Jaecoo J7 and Omoda 7.

In August 2026 the Omoda 7 SHS-P was launched at an ex-factory price of PKR 10,649,000, with a price-lock offer attached and price locks are exactly what our piece on the proposed new car booking rules examines.

The Omoda 4 is also reported as set to launch here soon following its Indonesian debut. Globally it is offered as electric, hybrid and petrol and which of those Pakistan receives has not been announced.

That is the realistic template for any future Omoda X: the model arrives, and the powertrain mix is confirmed late. One naming note too the car sold here as the Omoda 7 is the Omoda C7 internationally, covered in our Omoda C7 specifications guide.

Accessories and Related Models


There are no Omoda X accessories, and there cannot be. Exact-fit products are cut to confirmed interior dimensions, and this car does not exist in production form.

Accessories for the Omoda and Jaecoo models already on Pakistani roads are a different matter, and nothing made for an E5 or a J7 will fit an X when and if it arrives. Our full accessories range is fitted in-house in Multan tell us your model and year and we will confirm fitment before you order anything.

Final Thoughts


The Omoda X is an interesting preview rather than a product: thermal night vision claimed to 90 metres, 200 mm of clearance, a 1,800 kg towing figure that one report calls a target, and a choice of plug-in hybrid or electric power. Production is unconfirmed.

What is real is the brand's presence here twenty dealerships and five models on sale which is why this is worth watching rather than dismissing. The reveal was announced in the company's own global debut release. We will update this article if production is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is the Omoda X night vision range?▾
Up to 90 metres, as a recognition figure quoted by the manufacturer rather than an independently measured one. The system reads heat instead of light, so it picks out people and animals in pitch darkness or through oncoming glare, but a cold obstacle such as an unlit kerb or a concrete block barely shows up at all.
Is the Omoda X a production car or a concept?▾
Coverage of the October reveal consistently describes it as a concept, with its full specification still undisclosed and no production commitment given for any market. One report refers to it as a 2027 model. Until the company confirms it will be built, every figure attached to it should be read as provisional.
What is the Omoda X price in Pakistan?▾
None exists, and this is a stronger "no" than usual: the vehicle is not being built anywhere, so there is nothing to price. Any amount circulating is guesswork about a show car. A price could only follow production approval, then an allocation to this market, then a local specification sheet.
Is the Omoda X electric or hybrid?▾
Two options have been reported: fully electric, or a plug-in hybrid that pairs an engine with a battery you charge from a socket. Both can be had with drive to two wheels or all four. A self-charging hybrid has not been announced, and outputs, battery sizes and electric-only distances remain unpublished.
What is the Omoda X ground clearance, and can it really tow 1,800 kg?▾
Clearance is given as 200 mm, which is generous for this class and useful on speed breakers and flooded streets. The towing number is a claimed maximum, and at least one report describes it as a target rather than a confirmed rating — a meaningful distinction on a vehicle nobody has built or tested yet.
Which Omoda and Jaecoo models can I actually buy in Pakistan?▾
Five went on sale from August 2025 — the Omoda E5 and Omoda 7, plus the Jaecoo J5, J6 and J7 — sold through roughly twenty dealerships by NexGen Auto of the Nishat Group. A further model, the Omoda 4, is reported as arriving soon, though its powertrain choice for this market has not been confirmed.
