Powertrain and Performance
The OMODA 7 SHS-P is a plug-in hybrid SUV built around a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with an electric motor. The combined system produces 341 hp and 525 Nm of torque, placing it firmly in performance territory for its segment. An 18.4 kWh battery pack supports over 90 km of pure electric range — enough for most daily commutes without touching the petrol engine — while the combined petrol-electric range of up to 1,250 km removes any concern about longer intercity runs.

NexGen Auto’s First Year in Pakistan
NexGen Auto — Nishat Group’s automotive subsidiary — introduced OMODA and JAECOO to Pakistan on August 1, 2025, at a single launch event at Expo Centre Lahore that unveiled five models simultaneously: the OMODA E5, OMODA 7, JAECOO J5, JAECOO J6, and JAECOO J7. All five are now available in the market, exactly one year on.
The milestone figures from that first year are notable. Pakistan recorded OMODA & JAECOO’s highest first-month sales of any market globally. The brand has since crossed 10,000 vehicle deliveries in the country, and OMODA & JAECOO have expanded their international footprint to 64 markets — with Pakistan consistently ranked among the fastest-growing.
| 📊 Brand Milestones
10,000+ vehicles delivered in Pakistan within Year 1. Pakistan generated the highest first-month sales of any OMODA & JAECOO market globally. OMODA in the UK crossed 15,000 registrations in 2026 alone — one of the fastest-growing brands there. OMODA & JAECOO now operate in 64 markets worldwide. |
OMODA 4: What Comes Next
With the OMODA 7 now in showrooms, NexGen Auto has confirmed the OMODA 4 will follow later this year, after its regional debut in Indonesia. The OMODA 4 targets a younger demographic with a distinctly different proposition: where the OMODA 7 leads on comfort and luxury detail, the OMODA 4 leads on AI-driven intelligence.
The vehicle’s Super AI Cockpit is built around ten coordinated AI Agents supporting five languages, allowing drivers to issue combined natural-voice commands — adjusting climate, windows, seat ventilation, ambient lighting, and music in a single instruction. The navigation system handles multi-stop route planning intelligently. Chery describes the OMODA 4 as a potential “Young People’s First AI Dream Car,” with the cabin concept — called Cyber Verse — designed around music, gaming, social interaction, pet travel, and outdoor activities.
Externally, the OMODA 4 carries Cyber Mecha design language: Cyber Lightning headlights, sculpted bodywork, and an F1-inspired flip-up ignition button. Global variants span BEV, HEV, and ICE powertrains. Which configurations reach Pakistan will become clear in the months ahead.
Disclaimer: Price and specification details are based on NexGen Auto’s official launch announcement. Ex-factory price does not include taxes, registration, or delivery charges, which may vary by location. OMODA 4 launch details, pricing, and available variants for Pakistan have not yet been officially confirmed.
