This portfolio also includes the OMODA O4 and O7, as well as the JAECOO J5 and J7 models, indicating a clear direction towards hybridisation across the brand’s vehicle families.

Super Hybrid System: Efficient Performance for Everyday Driving

At the core of the O5 SHS-H is a 1.5-litre turbocharged hybrid engine noted for its high thermal efficiency of 44.5%. The system's combined output is 224 HP, with the electric motor contributing 310 Nm of torque. This powertrain enables the crossover to accelerate from 0-100km/h in a stated 7.9 seconds. The manufacturer claims the system provides smooth, EV-like acceleration with seamless switching between petrol and electric power. Drivers can choose between Eco and Sport modes to balance fuel efficiency and performance.

Up to 1,000 km Range: Built for UAE Roads

A key feature of the OMODA O5 SHS-H is its extensive driving range, which is rated at up to 1,000 kilometres on the WLTP combined cycle. This figure positions it as a practical option for drivers who undertake long commutes between emirates. To ensure its suitability for the region, the vehicle has undergone rigorous climate testing in temperatures ranging from -30°C to as high as +60°C.
