Next-gen Chinese SUVs revealed!

Chery has revealed a flurry of new models and tech at its ‘International User Summit’ in Wuhu, China, including two new Omoda SUVs.

The key reveal from the summit is the 2026 Chery Omoda 4, which is a new entry level for the Omoda sub-brand to sit below the Omoda 5.

Along with this, Chery confirmed the Omoda 5 small SUV will also gain a ‘Super Hybrid System’ variant like the Chery Jaecoo J7 and the Omoda 9 large SUV. But Chery says the Omoda 5’s hybrid system will be a more traditional series-parallel hybrid, rather than a plug-in hybrid like the larger models.

It claims the Omoda 5 Super Hybrid will be capable of a 0–100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds thanks to a power output of 165kW, though more notable is its claimed WLTP range of 1000km.

Chery also showed off the larger Omoda 7, which sits between the Omoda 5 and Omoda 9 as the numbers suggest.

The Omoda 7 features the brand’s next-gen Automatic Parking Assistance (APA) system as seen on the Jaecoo J8 and Omoda 9. The system is said to “support over 1000 different parking scenarios” autonomously. It also includes remote parking for maneuvers undertaken without a driver in the car.

Finally, the brand revealed a concept car it refers to as both “6=1” and “7-Seat Transformable Multi-SUV”.

The concept is a large SUV/ute combination that features a configurable rear section that’s able to become an enclosed cabin for a seven-seat SUV layout, or can be removed to become a dual-cab ute.

In seven-seater mode, the SUV is roomy enough that “a six-year-old child can stand upright inside, while elderly passengers can enter and exit without bending over”, Chery says.

It also has a camper mode, complete with space for “side awnings, pop-up roof tents, rear-seat entertainment screens, and external power supply”.
