At 4,654mm long, 1,920mm wide and 1,702mm tall, the Omoda X is considerably larger than the Omoda 4, although both share the same 2,700mm wheelbase.

THE new Omoda X has been revealed at the rather aptly named 2026 Omoda X Night in Wuhu, China, introducing the brand’s first model with a stronger off-road focus.

Previously previewed as the T1QC concept during Auto China earlier this year, the production model sits under a new design direction called Crossvolution, which blends Omoda’s urban crossover styling with more rugged elements.

Much of the T1QC concept has carried over. The X retains the sharply defined bodywork, pronounced wheel arches and sloping roofline, while its lighting follows the Cyber Mecha theme first seen on the Omoda 4.

Jagged daytime running lights dominate the front, while the rear gets similarly angular LED graphics.

At 4,654mm long, 1,920mm wide and 1,702mm tall, the Omoda X is considerably larger than the Omoda 4, although both share the same 2,700mm wheelbase.

Ground clearance stands at 200mm, while Omoda quotes a 700mm wading depth and towing capacity of up to 1,800kg.

The X also introduces a Progloss Plus Clearcoat finish, which Omoda says is both scratch-resistant and self-healing, intended to better protect the paintwork during light off-road use.

Inside, the so-called Mecha Starship cockpit carries over the angular theme with a symmetrical dashboard and a large X-shaped centre console.

Physical toggle switches and a rotary controller sit between the front seats, together with a red flip-up starter button cover.

Instrumentation comes through a 10.25-inch digital display, joined by a 13.2-inch horizontal central touchscreen.

Other available technology includes a thermal imaging system capable of recognising objects up to 90 metres away at night, an Open Mic karaoke function using four separate voice pickup zones, and X-Mode, which allows the driver to personalise the instrument display.

Omoda did not announce detailed powertrain specifications during the presentation, but the X is set to be offered in battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and conventional hybrid forms.

The vehicle displayed at the event was a PHEV, identifiable by its starter button and access flaps on both sides of the body.

Final outputs have yet to be announced. The PHEV could potentially use Omoda Jaecoo’s existing Super Hybrid System-Plug-in Hybrid setup, while the HEV may draw from the group’s growing range of 1.5-litre hybrid systems. However, Omoda has not confirmed which configurations will be used in the X.

The BEV is reportedly set to use a 74 kWh battery, while a 20 kWh unit has been mentioned for the PHEV.

Further details including electric range, performance figures and whether the hybrid variants will be offered with front- or all-wheel drive have yet to be released.

The X also appears to support a degree of factory-backed personalisation, continuing the growing trend among Chinese SUV makers towards modular accessories and lifestyle-oriented equipment.

Omoda has not announced when production will begin or which markets will receive the X.
