From China to Australia – meet yet another unknown car brand preparing to make its mark on Australian roads. 👉 Full Review: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/omoda-9-virtue-2025-review-150063/ The 2025 Omoda 9 marks the Australian debut of Chery’s luxury sub-brand Omoda – and it’s a big, tech-heavy five-seat large SUV that’s gunning for established players like the Kia Sorento and Mazda CX-70 and CX-80. Priced at $61,990 plus on-roads, it packs a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, three electric motors, a 34kWh lithium-ion NMC battery and up to 395kW of power. This makes it the most powerful vehicle parent company Chery has ever launched in Australia. Yep, it can go from mild to wild at the twist of a drive mode dial, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 4.9 seconds. Omoda reckons it’ll drive for 145km in EV-only mode, has an 1100km total range, loads of premium equipment and an eight-year unlimited-kilometre warranty. Could this be the sleeper hit of 2025?
