JOHANNESBURG<\/strong>\u00a0– OMODA South Africa has expanded its local vehicle range with the introduction of the new C5 SHS hybrid, marking a significant step in the brand\u2019s electrification journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the first conventional hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) from OMODA & JAECOO in the country, the model combines efficiency, performance and premium features in a single package.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the C5 SHS is a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 165 kW and 295 N.m of torque.<\/p>\n

This powertrain enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km\/h in just 7.9 seconds, while reaching a top speed of 175 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT), engineered to optimise efficiency and ensure smooth driving dynamics.<\/p>\n

The model achieves a WLTP-rated fuel consumption of 4.9 litres per 100 km and emits 111 g\/km of CO\u2082. Equipped with a 1.83 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery and a 51-litre fuel tank, the C5 SHS offers a driving range exceeding 1,000 kilometres.<\/p>\n

The vehicle maintains the distinctive styling of the C5 range, complemented by LED lighting, a sunroof and 18-inch alloy wheels with red brake calipers.<\/p>\n

Its suspension setup, comprising MacPherson struts at the front and a multilink system at the rear, provides a balance between comfort and handling.<\/p>\n

Inside, the C5 SHS features a refined cabin layout with a symmetrical dashboard and a bridge-style centre console. Dual 12.3-inch screens provide access to infotainment and vehicle controls, supporting Bluetooth connectivity, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.<\/p>\n

An eight-speaker Sony sound system, intelligent voice command and multi-colour ambient lighting enhance the in-car experience.<\/p>\n

Comfort is prioritised with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control and rear air vents.<\/p>\n

Practical features include a power-operated boot lid, wireless charging, keyless entry and flexible storage space expanding from 372 to 1,072 litres.<\/p>\n

Safety remains central, with a five-star Euro NCAP rating supported by seven airbags, stability control and advanced driver assistance systems such as blind-spot monitoring, lane change assist and a 360-degree camera.<\/p>\n

The C5 SHS is priced at R469,900 at launch, increasing to R479,900, and will be available from 8 April 2026.<\/p>\n
