Omoda’s 9 SHS lands in Spain with 537 hp and a sharp, grown-up look. This big plug-in hybrid SUV promises up to 145 km electric range and a design that moves the brand far from its budget image.
Omoda is making a bold move in Spain with the 9 SHS. This SUV leaves behind the brand’s earlier, cheaper models. With 537 hp and a plug-in hybrid setup, the Omoda 9 SHS is not just another SUV. It’s a clear signal of where Omoda wants to go. Independent Spanish and European technical cards confirm the car puts out 650 Nm of torque and can hit 100 km/h from a standstill in 4.9 seconds. That puts it among the fastest PHEV SUVs on the market.
Most high-powered SUVs try to grab attention with sharp lines and big spoilers. The Omoda 9 SHS takes a quieter approach. It measures 4,775 mm long, 1,920 mm wide, and 1,671 mm high, with a 2,800 mm wheelbase. This puts it squarely in the D/E-segment for large SUVs, not with the smaller crossovers. The front stands out with a wide grille made of small geometric shapes and very slim headlights. The roof slopes gently after the second row, so the back seats don’t feel cramped like in some coupés. Big wheels fill the arches. The glass area narrows toward the rear, giving the car a clean, upscale look that stands out without being flashy.
The Omoda 9 SHS has already received a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, with child occupant protection rated at 85%.
Inside, the Omoda 9 SHS keeps up the surprises. Two large screens sit side by side, making a single digital dashboard. The front seats have heating, ventilation, and massage. There’s plenty of legroom in the back. Soft-touch materials and ambient lighting make it clear this is not a budget Chinese import anymore. The car comes loaded with features, so buyers won’t need to pay for endless extras. The electronically controlled suspension is tuned for both comfort and control, which matters in a big, powerful SUV. Independent technical reviews point out the 60-liter fuel tank and a combined range of about 1,100 km. This makes the 9 SHS ready for long trips, not just city driving.
The tech under the hood is just as ambitious. The SHS system uses a 1.5-liter TGDI petrol engine, three electric motors, a three-speed gearbox, and all-wheel drive. Multiple European sources confirm this setup. It’s built for strong performance and a long electric-only range. Some European specs list a 34.5 kWh battery and up to 145 km of electric range (WLTP). But for Spain, official data and local car magazines say the electric-only range is 92 km.
The Omoda 9 SHS doesn’t try to look sporty with fake vents or wings. The design focuses on good proportions, details, and a grown-up feel. This shows Omoda is aiming higher. The brand is no longer just about low prices. Now it wants buyers who care about design, tech, and quality. Recent reports from top Spanish car outlets say Omoda & Jaecoo are also pushing child safety, adding new safety features to several models, including the 9 SHS.
On the Spanish market, the Omoda 9 SHS is already available in commercial and leasing offers, indicating the model's practical launch and the presence of local specifications and configurations. This signals the start of real market activity for the brand in Spain.
Omoda’s launch comes as Chinese carmakers step up their push in Spain. This trend is covered in recent news about new electric and hybrid models. But the Omoda 9 SHS is a bigger leap. It’s not just about more power and range. It’s about Omoda taking on established European brands head-on.
For Spanish drivers, the Omoda 9 SHS is more than just another SUV. It shows that Chinese brands are growing up. Design and substance are now catching up with the low prices that first got people’s attention. If Omoda delivers on its promises of quality and refinement, the 9 SHS could set a new standard for what buyers expect from a modern plug-in hybrid SUV in Spain.
