THE OMODA 9 SHS, OMODA UK's range-topping self-charging hybrid SUV, has been awarded the highest possible five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP.

The model was praised for its excellent overall performance in crash protection and equipped with state-of-the-art crash avoidance technology.

Tested under Euro NCAP's latest 2025 protocols, the OMODA 9 SHS delivered exceptional results across all key safety categories.

It notably achieved 90 per cent in the Adult Occupant and 85 per cent in the Child Occupant categories, including maximum points in frontal offset and side barrier tests for children. Adult crash protection was equally strong, with Euro NCAP noting the vehicle's stable structure and well-performing airbags in multiple impact scenarios.

The five-star results also reflect the extensive suite of driver assistance systems fitted as standard, including, autonomous emergency braking, emergency lane keeping, front collision warning, integrated cruise assist, and a 540-degree transparent-view camera system.

Gary Lan, CEO of OMODA UK, said: "Following in the footsteps of the OMODA 5 and our sister brand JAECOO UK's five-star [Euro NCAP] rating for the JAECOO 7 SHS, this latest accolade for the OMODA 9 SHS represents a significant milestone for both the model and the broader brand house in the UK. It reflects the depth of engineering behind the car, and shows that whether you're navigating the school run or crossing a continent, this is a vehicle you can trust with everything that matters most. Safety, sophistication and sustainability - with the OMODA 9, none of it is optional."

This recognition follows the vehicle's recent real-world achievement of completing a nine-country, 730-mile grand tour on a single charge and one tank of fuel - exceeding its official range estimate of 700 miles.

Powered by a 1.5-litre TGDI engine, dual electric motors and a 34.46 kWh MP3 battery, the OMODA 9 SHS delivers a combined 449ps and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 4.9 seconds. It has 93 miles of pure EV range and emissions of 38 g/km, it delivers high performance without compromise.

The OMODA 9 SHS is on sale through OMODA&JAECOO's 75+-strong UK dealers, priced from £44,990 and comes with a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty, plus 8-year battery cover and RAC Home Start as standard.
