Omoda 9

[SA1]

Hi has anyone got one of these and if so how are you getting on with it?

I came away from a test drive pretty impressed and although the driving dynamics are average, I found it hard to fault as an overall family car package especially for the price.

Given they are quite new, I guess the reliability is still an unknown.

Thanks

Not the 9 but I have the closely related jaecoo 7 phev, overall I like it. It s no sports car but then you wouldn t expect it to be.
I have had a creaking from the front suspension area that they ve had trouble sorting not helped by the dealership being taken over. There s some issues with the DAB radio but they seem to have found a fix for that and cars are being recalled for a new antenna.
Other than that I’ve really enjoyed the car, comfortable and drives well, gets lots of compliments which I really didn’t expect given the stigma around Chinese cars. The kids love it as well which is what I bought it for really now they’re growing up.

The omoda 9 does look really nice and my neighbour who is no shyster to a premium badge went to look at one the other day and was impressed. Only thing that would put me off is it falls into the luxury car tax band, but the extra battery range would be nice.

Thanks!

Well I have ordered one so let’s see what happens longer term.

For me at the price it feels like a no brainer. I am coming from an Audi Q7 but the prices for these now are too high to justify the cost to change to a newer one.

My man maths suggests I can run this and still have my Discovery 3 v8 as a cost effective back up for the times I need more space or the warranty parts are on ‘back order’.
