224 HP OMODA 4 Breaks Cover in Paris: New Crossover and Updated OMODA 5 Incoming

OMODA, the Chery-owned brand, has unveiled the new OMODA 4 hybrid crossover at the 2026 Paris Motor Show with a combined output of 224 horsepower, alongside the European debut of the facelifted OMODA 5. The numbers are serious. The compact SUV enters one of the most competitive segments in Europe and Egypt.

OMODA 4: Sci-Fi Design and Practical Dimensions

The OMODA 4 adopts a bold design language with sharp lines and angular surfaces inspired by science fiction. It measures 4.42 meters long, 1.87 meters wide, and 1.57 meters tall, with a 402-litre boot. Those dimensions place it squarely against compact crossovers already crowding the market.

What's under the bonnet? The OMODA 4 uses the fifth-generation SHS hybrid system, pairing a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 143 hp with a 150 kW electric motor. Total system output is 224 hp, with 295 Nm of torque. Strong figures for the class.

Gaming-Inspired Digital Cockpit

Inside, the OMODA 4 features an 8.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch central touchscreen, with an interior designed to deliver a digital experience inspired by video gaming. French market launch is scheduled for early 2027, but no date has been announced yet for Egypt.

The updated OMODA 5 makes its European debut at the show with a redesigned interior and a larger 15.6-inch central screen, plus an 8.9-inch digital cluster. It also uses the fifth-generation SHS hybrid powertrain and targets buyers seeking a crossover that balances performance, technology, and fuel efficiency. Pricing for the new hybrid starts at €30,999 in France—a clear signal of its European positioning.

OMODA and JAECOO Expand Their Lineup in Paris

The show isn't just about these two models. Chery's OMODA and JAECOO group is displaying several other vehicles, including the JAECOO 5, JAECOO 7, OMODA 7, and OMODA 9, with a mix of full-electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Big plans for new markets.

This move underscores the intensifying competition in one of the most attractive vehicle segments for buyers, both in Europe and in the Egyptian market. That continues to welcome Chery models at a steady pace. If the OMODA 4 hybrid and the updated OMODA 5 reach Egypt, they could strengthen the brand's position amid rising demand for compact hybrids. Only time will reveal how quickly that happens—but the competitive pressure won't wait.
