The OMODA 9 SHS plug-in hybrid crossover has been put to a serious test in real-world conditions. It managed to cover the route through 9 European countries on one full tank of fuel and one battery charge. The total distance of the autonomous run was 1175 km.
At the same time hybrid plugin surpassed the certified WLTP range of 1127 km. Importantly, this was a trip on real roads, not a laboratory certification run. The route started in Dover in the UK, then passed through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and ended in Austria. The car drove in cities with traffic jams, overcame mountain passes, and drove on high-speed highways.
More specifically, the journey included the dense traffic of Brussels, the cobblestones of Luxembourg, high-speed German autobahns, and the mountain serpentines of Austria. In fact, the car was in conditions that drivers constantly encounter during their trips.
OMODA UK CEO Gary Lahn noted that this 1175 km run in real-world conditions — is not just a technical achievement, but a new vision of the possibilities of hybrids.
