OMODA South Africa is pleased to announce the official market introduction of the luxurious new OMODA C9, with this highly anticipated flagship model available from launch in two generously equipped derivatives.
Introduced at an elegant event at the Norval Foundation – a prestigious art museum and sculpture garden in Cape Town – the upmarket OMODA C9 is offered in both front- (FWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) forms.
The C9 FWD’s official retail price is R785,900.00, while the C9 AWD is priced at R885,900.00. However, as part of a special launch promotion, the FWD will be available for just R760,000.00 and the AWD for only R860,000.00 for the first month of sales.
As OMODA’s flagship model, the innovative OMODA C9 is set apart not only by its award-winning avant-garde exterior design but also by its powerful turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine, which delivers 192 kW and 400 Nm via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
“We’re excited to officially launch the cutting-edge new flagship OMODA C9, which we’re convinced will turn heads with its cutting-edge yet elegant styling and immensely long list of standard luxury features,” said Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager for OMODA & JAECOO South Africa.
The OMODA C9 FWD derivative boasts a lengthy list of standard equipment, including items such as 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate, black leather upholstery, electrically adjustable front seats (with heating and ventilation), a heated steering wheel and dual-zone climate control, the latter replete with a dedicated control panel and vents for the second row.
Other standout features include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen (combined as a single curved display), an 8-speaker Sony sound system, wireless smartphone charging, a head-up display, parking sensors (front and rear), a 540-degree camera system, multi-colour ambient cabin lighting and a raft of highly advanced driver-assistance safety features.
The OMODA C9 AWD variant, meanwhile, adds luxuries such as adaptive suspension, off-road driving modes, Nappa leather upholstery, a black-and-brown interior colour scheme, red brake callipers, a 12-speaker Sony sound system, an integrated fragrance system and an adaptive front lighting system, complete with an intelligent welcome mode.
The OMODA C9 launch event was attended by esteemed members of the media – including journalists from major publications as well as members of the OMODA family, Boitumelo Thulo (better known as Boity) and DJ Zinhle.
Several other A-list celebrities – such as Minnie Dlamini, Anele Zondo, Nobukhosi Mukwevho and Mohale Motaung, to name but a few – were also in attendance, while sought-after visual artist Ramarutha Makoba was on hand to reveal a one-of-a-kind artwork that will soon be auctioned off for charity.
