2025 Chery Omoda 7 previewed, Australian launch confirmed

Chinese brand Chery will grow its Australian line-up again with the launch later this year of a second Omoda model: the midsized Omoda 7.

The Omoda 7 will join the small Omoda 5 that landed in March 2023, along with the all-electric Omoda E5, bound for Australia sometime in the second half of 2024.

Given this new model’s designation, it will likely enter the Chery range as a tapered, lifestyle-oriented companion to the more family-friendly Tiggo 7 Pro that arrived in December.

Chery also has a bigger Tiggo 8 Pro Max due to reach Australia in May, followed by the new luxury-focused brand Jaecoo – said to be named for a combination of the German word ‘Jaeger’ (hunter) and the English word ‘cool’.

Chery has yet to reveal any details for the Omoda 7, but here’s what the brand’s local communications team offers:

“Every angle exudes style; the front face is distinctively sharp, the side profile boasts an elegantly smooth waistline, while the lightning tail-light design conveys the power of technology and grace.”

“The Omoda models are also known for their cutting-edge technology and state-of-the art safety features. Chery’s latest SUV is set to build upon this by offering features that will further enhance the everyday driving experience of customers.”

We can likely expect the Omoda 7 to feature the same Euro 6-compliant 137kW/275Nm 1.6-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine offered with the Tiggo 7.

In the Tiggo 7, the turbo petrol engine is matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and either front- or all-wheel drive, depending on the variant.

Fuel consumption is listed at 7.0L/100km on the ADR cycle (less strict than WLTP) in front-wheel-drive form, requiring a minimum of 95 RON fuel.

When will the Chery Omoda 7 go on sale in Australia?

The Omoda 7 will be unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show on April 28, with an Australian debut set for sometime in the second half of 2024.
