The South African automotive market is about to get a stylish new addition with the arrival of the Omoda C9 this August. Known in its home market as the Exeed RX, the C9 promises to turn heads with its striking design and powerful performance.
Drawing inspiration from the compact C5, the Omoda C9 boasts similar styling cues such as a pointed nose, sloped tailgate, and rising waistline. However, its larger dimensions allow these elements to shine even more gracefully, creating a sleek and sophisticated look.
But the Omoda C9 is more than just a pretty face. Under the hood lies Chery’s formidable 2.0-litre turbo engine, churning out an impressive 193 kW and 400 Nm of torque. This power is efficiently managed by a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, sending it to all four wheels for a dynamic and responsive driving experience.
Adding to the excitement, South African celebrity Boity Thulo recently revealed her new Omoda C9 on Instagram. In her post, she expressed her enthusiasm: “Yaaaaay!! Look who’s joined the Omoda Family! So excited to be part of the team behind the most exciting automotive company in SA right now! I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my new baby, the #OmodaC9 which is coming to SA this August! Let’s get to work, fam @omodasouthafrica.”
With its combination of eye-catching design, robust performance, and a high-profile endorsement from Boity Thulo, the Omoda C9 is set to make a significant impact in the South African automotive scene. Enthusiasts and potential buyers alike are eagerly awaiting its official debut.
