OJ Discovery Tour of Jaecoo lineup up to Nov. 4 only

Global new energy vehicle marque Omoda & Jaecoo put its proprietary Super Hybrid System (SHS) to the test during the OMODA Super Hybrid Marathon held from Oct. 21 to 22 in Wuhu, China, staged alongside its 2026 International User Summit.

The endurance evaluation saw the Omoda 5 NEXT SHS-H complete a mixed 600-km trial across congested urban centers, the Hangzhou–Changsha Expressway, and steep mountain passes—recording an overall tested combined range of 1,015 km and a fuel economy of 4.5 liters per 100 km (22.2 km/liter).

Real-world efficiency in mixed topography

Evaluating the Omoda 5 NEXT SHS-H alongside the Omoda 4 SHS-H and Omoda 7 SHS-H, the run highlighted the responsiveness of its dedicated 1.5-liter turbocharged hybrid engine:

o Highway cruising: Demonstrated a 0–100 kph acceleration time of 7.9 seconds, delivering immediate overtaking torque;

o Mountain passes: Handled steep ascents and consecutive cornering loads using Eco and Sport driving modes, supported by Level 2 driving assistance and 19 active safety systems.

o In-cabin comfort and versatility: Features heated, ventilated, and massaging seats, a 15.6-inch 2K high-definition display, an 8-speaker Sony audio system with subwoofer, and lifestyle software profiles including Camping Mode and Pet Mode.

The milestone aligns with Omoda & Jaecoo’s aggressive international growth. During the summit, the group reported cumulative global sales surpassing 1.4 million vehicles across 79 markets and over 1,700 showrooms, with new energy vehicles (HEVs, PHEVs, and BEVs) making up 81% of total deliveries.
