RM159,948–RM190,708
Overview
The Omoda Jaecoo C7 is a five-seat C-segment SUV launched in 2026, aimed at buyers choosing between a conventional turbo-petrol drivetrain and plug-in hybrid power. Prices start from RM160,000 for the Turbo 2WD, while the PHEV brings substantially more power for buyers prepared to spend more.
C7 in 2026 — what's new
The Mk1 Omoda Jaecoo C7 is new for 2026 and arrives in Malaysia as a locally assembled C-segment SUV. The range comprises the 1.6-litre turbo-petrol Turbo 2WD with a wet dual-clutch automatic and the 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid PHEV with a single-ratio automatic. Both are front-wheel drive and seat five. The C7 is publicly displayed and available for test drives in 2026.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the RM160,000 Turbo 2WD. Its 1.6-litre petrol engine produces 194 hp, drives the front wheels through a wet dual-clutch automatic and keeps the C7’s entry price lower. Spend RM180,000 on the PHEV if the plug-in hybrid drivetrain suits your use and 355 hp is a priority. The RM20,000 gap buys the 1.5-litre petrol plug-in hybrid system and 161 hp more; both versions remain five-seat front-wheel-drive SUVs.
Verdict
The C7 gives buyers a clear powertrain decision rather than a confusing spread of trims. The Turbo 2WD is the lower-cost route into the range, while the PHEV makes a major step up in output, from 194 hp to 355 hp, for RM20,000 more. Both use front-wheel drive and have five seats. Equipment, electric-only range and charging details matter greatly to the PHEV case, so confirm those before signing.
