The OMODA C7 introduces a bold new chapter for OMODA in South Africa, combining futuristic styling with everyday practicality.
The exterior features an X-shaped frameless grille, slim LED headlights, and sporty red brake calipers that give it instant road presence.

Sculpted body lines flow from front to rear, creating a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette, while 19-inch alloy wheels come standard on petrol models and 20-inch alloys on the SHS plug-in hybrid.

Interior: Premium Comfort and Advanced Tech

Step inside the OMODA C7 and you’re greeted by a modern, minimalist cabin finished in black leather upholstery. Both front seats are electrically adjustable, heated, and ventilated, with a memory function for the driver.

A 15.6-inch infotainment display takes centre stage, complemented by an 8.88-inch digital cluster showing real-time driving data. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth are all standard, while a 50-watt wireless charging pad keeps devices powered on the go.

Sound is handled by a Sony audio system — an eight-speaker setup in the petrol version and a 12-speaker system in the hybrid. The dual-zone climate control and multi-colour ambient lighting add a touch of luxury.
