The Chery Omoda 4 hybrid SUV is slated for an early 2027 release in Israel, with an estimated price range of NIS 150,000-165,000. The vehicle boasts a design inspired by Lamborghini, a combined output of 224 horsepower, and surprising road handling capabilities.
Chery's Omoda brand is still establishing itself in Israel, currently represented by the Omoda 7 plug-in hybrid. The Omoda 4 aims to capture a younger, tech-savvy demographic with its aggressive, "Cyber Mecha"-influenced styling, featuring sharp lines, angular wheel arches, and distinctive lighting animations. The interior continues this theme with a 13.2-inch vertical touchscreen, a hexagonal steering wheel, and sporty accents like red stitching.
A notable interior feature is a red, guarded ignition button, reminiscent of a Lamborghini's start button, adding a touch of exotic flair. The cabin offers comfortable, heated seats, ample rear legroom due to a 2.70-meter wheelbase, and a large panoramic sunroof. However, cargo space is limited to 350 liters, and a spare tire is absent.
The Omoda 4 is powered by a 1.5-liter turbo engine producing 142 hp, combined with a 204 hp electric motor, for a total of 224 hp. This setup allows for a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 8.1 seconds. Official fuel consumption is rated at 19.2 km/liter, with preliminary tests showing similar real-world results.
Chery emphasized the Omoda 4's European-tuned suspension, calibrated at their German development center. Test drives indicated impressive road manners, with good body control during cornering and braking, and effective damping of road imperfections, surpassing expectations for a Chinese-manufactured vehicle. Despite its sporty appearance, the Omoda 4 is positioned more for family use and fuel efficiency than aggressive performance, with a ground clearance of 15.7 cm making it unsuitable for off-road excursions.
