Car Deal of the Day: Omoda 7 offers space and super-low running costs for just £229 a month
The Omoda 7 is the latest Chinese SUV to arrive in Britain. It’s our Deal of the Day for 30 April.
- Stylish looks; high equipment levels
- 56 miles of EV range
- Only £228.77 a month
Chinese car maker Chery, with its smash-hit Omoda and Jaecoo brands, is disrupting the UK car market at speed. The Jaecoo 7 was the best-selling new car in March, and the fresh model launches continue at a pace.
The latest is the Omoda 7 – sister to the top-selling Jaecoo 7. It's a boldly designed mid-size SUV that has affordability at its heart, thanks to its plug-in hybrid powertrain and great leasing offers like this one.
Through the Auto Express Buy A Car service, you can take the keys to one for just £228.77 a month right now. This two-year deal from Leasing Options calls for a fairly chunky £3,145.23 12-month initial payment, but that's offset by the low monthly price.
If that upfront cost is a little too much to stomach then you can knock it down to a nine-month payment. This comes in at £2,648.46 and only sees the monthly price rise to £249.83.
Mileage is at a default 5,000 a year, but 8,000 can be yours for an extra £23 a month on the 12-month initial payment plan, or £26 on the nine-month option.
Naturally, the Omoda 7 sits above the existing Nissan Qashqai-rivalling Omoda 5. It's more of a mid-sized SUV offering, and rivals models such as the MG HS PHEV and Volkswagen Tiguan e-Hybrid.
Under the coupe-SUV-style body lies the same 1.5-litre petrol engine and 18.3kWh battery set-up as in the Jaecoo 7 and Chery Tiggo 7.
This so-called 'Super Hybrid System' promises 56 miles of pure-electric range, and the system prioritises EV power for most of the time. A maximum recharge rate of 40kW means a top-up from 10 to 80 per cent can take as little as 20 minutes.
While the Omoda 7 isn't the most dynamic car to drive, it's relatively comfortable and pretty quiet on the move – even when the petrol engine is running.
Interior fit and finish are very good, and there's loads of room inside – tall back-seat passengers won't have any complaints – while the 590-litre boot is huge. This deal gets you the Knight trim, which brings a 360-degree parking camera, a six-way electric driver's seat, wireless phone charging and more.
