Legal Disclaimer: Mat Watson has not quit Carwow to become a car detailer. Nor is he suddenly in high demand for waxing and buffing cars—he has no side hustle in car detailing, promise.
Instead, Mat is taking the Omoda 9 for a spin, a Chinese PHEV SUV he likens to a freshly built house: shiny, impressive, and full of surprises. Under the hood, the Omoda 9 packs a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, two electric motors, and a 34kWh battery.
The result? All-wheel drive, 449hp and 700Nm of torque, and up to 90 miles on pure electric power.
