Chinese automaker Omoda has revealed its first SUV with some off-road capabilities, the Omoda X, which is slated for production starting in 2027. While not built on a ladder frame, the Omoda X boasts 20 cm of ground clearance, respectable approach and departure angles for a soft-roader, and all-wheel drive. The vehicle can reportedly ford water up to 70 cm deep and tow 1,700 kg. The interior features a 13.5-inch infotainment screen and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, similar to the Omoda 4. The model unveiled in Wuhu, China, appears to be a plug-in hybrid, indicated by its dual fuel and charging ports, though full hybrid or electric versions may follow. Omoda, part of the Chery group, plans to position the Omoda X above the Omoda 7, which sells in Israel for NIS 180,000-210,000. The Omoda X is expected to compete with vehicles like the Subaru Forester and upcoming models from Chinese brands BAIC and Chery's iCaur brand, both slated for release in Israel soon.
