Introduced at an elegant event at the Norval Foundation, the upmarket OMODA C9 is offered in both front- (FWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) forms.
The C9 FWD’s official retail price is R785,900.00, while the C9 AWD is priced at R885,900.00. However, as part of a special launch promotion, the FWD will be available for just R760,000.00 and the AWD for only R860,000.00 for the first month of sales.
As OMODA’s flagship model, the innovative OMODA C9 is set apart not only by its award-winning avant-garde exterior design but also by its powerful turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine, which delivers 192 kW and 400 Nm via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The OMODA C9 FWD derivative boasts a lengthy list of standard equipment, including items such as 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate, black leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats (with heating and ventilation), a heated steering wheel and dual-zone climate control, the latter replete with a dedicated control panel and vents for the second row.
