Omoda 7

Summary

The Omoda 7 is a mid-sized plug-in SUV that sits between the smaller Omoda 5 and the larger Omoda 9. It will arrive in the UK in January 2026.

It will be available with either a 1.6-litre petrol engine or a plug-in hybrid powertrain consisting of a 1.5-litre petrol engine and an electric motor powered by an 18kWh battery.

Omoda calls its advanced plug-in hybrid drivetrain SHS (super hybrid system), and it provides better battery range than most conventional plug-in hybrid systems from other manufacturers. In the Omoda 7, it claims an electric range of up to 56 miles.

As well as enough electric driving range to suit most households’ daily needs, the Omoda 7 plug-in hybrid can fast charge if you’re at a public charging point (most plug-in hybriods are limited to slow charging at a maximum of about 7kWh, same as you get from a home wallbox), and can also power external devices with vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability.

Two trim levels will be available, called Knight (lower spec) and Noble (higher spec), with equipment levels that promise to be highly competitive.

Inside, the Omoda 7 follows contemporary new car practice with a minimalist layout dominated by large central touchscreen (in this case, 16 inches) to control almost everything. Wireless phone connection with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, with the wireless charging pad even featuring a fan to keep your phone from overheating. The entry-level Knight models get a six-speaker Sony sound system, while the top-spec Noble models bump this up to 12 speakers.

The first media reviews of the Omoda 7 are likely to appear in January 2026, but The Car Expert had the opportunity for an exclusive drive of the Omoda 7 SHS (plug-in hybrid) earlier this year in China. Although the car we drove was a left-hand drive model and wasn’t in final UK spec, it was easy enough to see that the equipment levels, build quality, and overall fit and finish will follow the pattern set by the flagship Omoda 9, and are considerably better than the smaller Omoda 5.

Like all Omodas, the 7 will offer a seven-year/100,000-mile new car warranty as standard, including breakdown cover for seven years as well.

New car warranty information for the Omoda 7

Omoda’s new car warranty is one of the best in the business, and better than almost all rival brands in a similar price bracket to the Omoda 7.

The duration is seven years, with a limit of 100,000 miles. In addition to the standard new car warranty, there is an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.

If you’re looking to buy any used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.

Recalls

Official DVSA safety recalls that have been issued for the Omoda 7

Given that the Omoda 7 has not yet launched in the UK, it’s not surprising that we are not aware of any recalls for this model.

There are hundreds of mandatory vehicle recalls issued each year, although most are for easily fixable issues. But not all vehicles are affected by recalls. You can check to see if your car is included in any of the above recalls by visiting the DVLA website or contacting your local dealer.
