The Omoda 7 is a comfortable, spacious and posh-feeling SUV which offers great value for money, but a complex infotainment system dulls its shine
Is the Omoda 7 a good car?
Yet another car from the Chinese giant that is Omoda, the Omoda 7 is a sensible family SUV wrapped up in a stylish design. It features a premium-feeling cabin, plenty of interior space, a very efficient plug-in hybrid engine option and it’s surprisingly fun to drive. There are some interior quirks, however, with an annoying infotainment system and some odd materials in places.
It has the established medium-sized SUV crowd firmly in its sights, competitively priced against the Hyundai Tucson, Volkswagen Tiguan and Ford Kuga. The Omoda 7 shares a lot of oily bits under the skin with the Jaecoo 7 and Chery Tiggo 7, wrapped up in a sleeker-looking package.
You can think of Chery, Jaecoo and Omoda reaching the UK as a sit-com about siblings moving to a new school. While they’re all gaining climbing the social ladder, the Omoda 7 is doing so by being a bit sportier and cooler than the others.
There aren’t many properly handsome SUVs of this size, save for the Peugeot 3008 and Citroen C5 Aircross, but the Omoda 7’s sleek headlights, sharknose front end and sleek roofline help it stand out from the crowd. You can’t miss its lightning-bolt taillights, either, which are a cool addition to an otherwise simple rear end.
The interior design is the typical fare we’ve come to expect from Chinese brands, with a soft, padded and neatly styled dashboard. You’ll find hard, scratchy plastics on the lower door cards, dashboard and centre console trims, but that’s standard fare for a car of this price.
