Launched
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 a plug-in hybrid. Prices start from RM160,000 for the Turbo 2WD, while the PHEV brings substantially more power for those prepared to spend more.
C7 in 2026 — what's new
The C7 is new for 2026 in Malaysia, arriving in Turbo 2WD and PHEV forms. The Turbo 2WD uses a 1.6-litre petrol engine with a wet dual-clutch automatic, while the PHEV combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with plug-in hybrid hardware and a single-ratio automatic. Both are front-wheel drive and seat five. An HEV with a larger 5 kWh battery is due in Malaysia in 2027.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the RM160,000 Turbo 2WD. Its 194 hp 1.6-litre petrol engine and wet dual-clutch automatic make it the lower-cost route into the C7, with five seats and front-wheel drive. Spend RM180,000 on the PHEV if its 355 hp plug-in hybrid powertrain is the priority; the RM20,000 gap buys a 1.5-litre petrol-electric system and single-ratio automatic, not all-wheel drive.
Verdict
The C7 enters the Malaysian C-segment SUV market with a simple two-model line-up: a 194 hp turbo-petrol and a 355 hp plug-in hybrid. The PHEV’s power advantage is significant, but it also carries a RM20,000 premium while retaining front-wheel drive and five seats. The Turbo 2WD is the straightforward choice for buyers who do not specifically want plug-in hybrid hardware.
