The first hybrid models of the chery division come with not only dramatic outputs, but also have a long warranty market on various batteries and electric motor components.
About two years ago, the original company is known to go into the pipeline for South Africa since he was established as a standalone brand, Omoda and Jaecoo officially launched their first hybrid models this week under the newly created SHS or super hybrid system banner.
System shock
A Monicer unveiled at the Shanghai International Auto Show in March, as well as being used by Cher, the setup uses plug-in hybrid configuration as the ideal new energy propulsion method for the local market as the ideal new energy propulsion method for the local market.

Initially, it attracts two models, Omoda C9 and Jaecoo J7, the third SHS model with the east C7 set has come later this year.
This year, after the sales increased with the sale of 4 110 units this year, the SHS launch of the division in the MulldersDrift outside Johannesburg included a trek for the Gerotch testing feature, where there was a series of unusual exercises in general.
Petrol vs shs
After completion, selected details were launched in May Finally approved in FebruaryJ7 SHS and C9 SHS at first glance vary from their respective petrol brothers and sisters at first glance, although near inspection soon reveals hybrid specific touch.
In addition to the second flap that hides the charging outlet on the left rear wing, both get PHEV badges on the booted and, in the case of J7, 19-inch Aero Wheels.
Modeling on Mid-range glacier The use of top-spec with C9 shows as a base, the largest inter-gD remains under the bonnet where the former loses the 1.6 T-GDI engine and the later 2.0 T-GDI unit.


Lose your related seven-speed dual-clutch and eight-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, both Cher Tiggo 7 Pro and Omoda C 5 to 1.5 T-GDI, although a single-speed in J7 and a dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT) with three-speeds.
For the east, electric hardware has an 18.3-KWH battery pack that powers a single electric motor on the rear axle.
The joint, the setup develops 255kw/525Nm, which Omoda and Jaecoo claim that J7 will take SHS in 0-100 km/hrs 8.4 seconds. The claimed all-electric range is 90 km and contains 1 250 km combined with petrol engine.


At the same time, fuel consumption is 4.8 L/100 km and waiting time using DC fast charger from 20–25 minutes 30-80%.
Officially, the most powerful sugar car is now available in South Africa, C9 SHS not only gets 34.4-KWH battery pack, but also has two additional electric motors for a total of three.
The result is a total output of 440kw/915Nm, a claim is 0–100 km/h. 4.9 seconds and an all-electric range of 150 km.
Its drive made it an all-wheel-drive from the start-wheel-drive J7 vs, C9 SHS when using a joint limit of 1 100 km, fuel consumption 5.8 l/100 km and the same 20-25 minutes waiting time 30-80% when using a sharp charger.
Drive
J7 shs
Toping their respective line-ups, the first phase of the journey included J7, which included a hybrid system, as a combination of a poor calibrated throttle and the lament of mismatched transmission was seen almost completely wiped out.
J7 seems to be more responsible and, even at the speed of the highway, is able to travel a significant distance on EV power compared to its alleged range claim, not as smooth on take-off and now,, at the speed of the highway.


Overall, J7 SHS comes with two hybrid mode; Default HEV and fully electric EV, plus three drive mode; Eco, normal and sports.
Once finished, or at a high speed, the powerplant becomes distinguished to the petrol engine, an infection that is relatively smoothly present without any shock.
It is being said that, once removed, the small capacity is audible on the national border, and with a stressful noise that once occurs at a constant speed.
Imagination
In addition to a new center console, in which the aircraft-style gear lever is dropped and replaced by a steering column-mounted selector, the rest of the J7 SHS’s cabin is unchanged and not only the premium and well together, but also spacious despite the standard fittings of the panoramic sunroof.
Glacier-specify means Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless smartphone charger, eight-spicker Sony Sound System, an integrated catams, electric, warm and ventilated front seat, head-up display, rear vents, a 14.8 inch’s standard with a 14.8 inch standard with an infront system Inclusion.


Security and driver aid system, including sadness that still includes disappointing driver monitoring system, includes the following:
- 360-degree surround-view camera;
- Front and rear parking sensor;
- Automatic emergency braking
- adaptive cruise control;
- Rear cross traffic alert;
- Auto High Beam Assist;
- Traffic jam aid;
- Lane departure warning
- Blind spot monitoring
In the boundaries of Gerotec, the work with J7 maneu was maneuvering through a series of strategy to knock it without any knocking.
With the wet surfaces, the front-wheel-drive J7 was largely composed, but, unknowingly, was inadvertently transmitted to oversteor when turning rapidly.


In the same way as media by buyers in the future, and not extremely likely, the steering of J7 felt slightly better than its petrol cybbing, although still an over assisted electric setup.
In particular, an all-wheel-drive model is in functions and can reach either by the end of the year or in 2026 depending on the rate of growth.
C9
Swapping from J7 to Pluser but much more powerful C9, a pair of line-up tests included a high-speed braking exercise and dreaded mousse tests.
Feeling its weight when found with side-to-side General exploration tested last yearThe greater power of C9 SHS becomes clear, but not with the same power as its figures suggest.


Braking from a final 158 km/h, C9 was not felt as a decrease in the brake department, as the petrol version, however, the highly aided steering prevails.
Away from Gerotch, adaptive dampors have been continued to accommodate the electric system and thus, C9 is no longer a flower.
Unlike J7, however, electric motors and battery packs have not resolved the C9’s throttle calibration because as a noticeable delay and eventually it continues to hesitate before it becomes rapid.


Sophisticated and quiet, petrol to electric transition is the same as J7, with three hybrid modes available: HEV, EV and EV+, Carryover with six driving settings: eco, normal, sports, mud, ice and off-road.
With J7, the power engine firing is anything, but is pleasant on the ear and becomes badly stressful when the battery pack is rapid as a possible result of the excess weight and hard work of electric motors.
Given that all models were still to be run-in and some had reduced a more intensive determination after the first units for a seven-day test, for a seven-day testing.
Imagination
As standard devices, C9 SHS Nappa leather upholstery, a fragrance dispenser, hot, electric and ventilated seats, a 12-spicker Soni sound system, hot steering wheels, hot rear seats and standard with a panoric sunroof.


Further, two wireless smartphones include a pair of 12.3-inch displays for the smartphone charger, head-up display, ambient lighting and instrument cluster and infotainment system-a latter-equipped apple carplay and Android auto equipped later.
Standard Safety and Driver Support Technology include:
- 540-degree camera system;
- Auto High Beam Assist LED headlights;
- Driver’s attention monitor;
- adaptive cruise control;
- Lane departure warning;
- Blind spot monitoring;
- Lead vehicle warning;
- Rear cross traffic alert;
- Keep lane assistance;
- Reverse automatic braking
conclusion
With the increase in sales growth throughout the year so far, the introduction of SHS variants of Jaecoo J7 and Omoda C9, adds an element of assurance that is still completely associated with electric vehicles in view of uncertainty and range concern.
Providing an approximately 100 km electric range at the same time-in the case of J7-Self-charging hybrids cannot match, it is still yet to be seen how the two will be accepted how the monthly sales figures will be accepted.
price
The J7 SHS and C9 SHS first introduced a series of warranties in local markets, including the value tag of each model.
In addition to the first owner-3-year/1 000 000 km engine warranty, both the batteries not only have standard standard with a guarantee of 10-year/200 000 km, but also various other electric components Omoda and Jaecoo also refer to the power motor control unit.
Completing the back-up guarantee is a seven-year/200 000 km warranty, five years/75 000 km service scheme and, for the first 250 buyers, free installation of a walbox charging unit as a premises of choice.
