Omoda C9 SUV Launches in South Africa — Here’s What it Costs

Omoda has been expanding its footprint in the South African SUV market with a handful of vehicle releases, and the brand has just launched its flagship entry, the Omoda C9, but it carries a notable price-tag.

The C9 launches in two derivatives: 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 Omoa C9 is set apart not only by its edgy exterior design but also by its turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine, which delivers 192 kW and 400 Nm via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The Omoga C9 FWD derivative boasts a decent 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.

Other features include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen (combined as a single curved display), an 8-speaker Sony sound system, wireless smartphone charging, a head-up display, parking sensors (front and rear), a 540-degree camera system, multi-colour ambient cabin lighting and a raft of highly advanced driver-assistance safety features.

The Omoda C9 AWD variant, meanwhile, adds extras such as adaptive suspension, off-road driving modes, Nappa leather upholstery, a black-and-brown interior colour scheme, red brake callipers, a 12-speaker Sony sound system, an integrated fragrance system and an adaptive front lighting system, complete with an intelligent welcome mode.

Pricing:

• OMODA C9 FWD – R785,900 (limited-time launch price of R760,000.00)
• OMODA C9 AWD – R885,900 (limited-time launch price of R860,000.00)

The new OMODA C9 comes standard with a 7-year/100 000 km service plan, a 7-year/200 000 km vehicle warranty and an industry-leading 10-year/1,000,000 km engine warranty (for  the first owner).
