Omoda X Concept Unveiled as Rugged Mid-Size Crossover

The concept signals Omoda's shift to tougher global SUVs, introducing a thermal night‑vision system that the brand says can spot hazards up to 90 metres.

Overview

  • Omoda unveiled the X at the Chery Group International User Summit in Wuhu on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, showing a production‑ready concept sized about 4,650mm long and pitched as a five‑seat mid‑size crossover.
  • The company calls the new look 'Crossvolution', which adds upright, rugged SUV details such as pronounced wheel arches, heavy body cladding and 19‑inch wheels with all‑terrain tyres.
  • Omoda says the X will be offered as both a fully electric vehicle and a plug‑in hybrid with front‑ or all‑wheel‑drive layouts, though final powertrain specs have not been confirmed.
  • The concept highlights off‑road claims from the brand including 200mm ground clearance, a wading depth over 700mm, a towing capacity near 1,800kg and a first‑time thermal infrared night‑vision system rated to about 90 metres.
  • Australian availability, pricing and launch timing remain unconfirmed despite an earlier preview to Omoda Jaecoo Australia, and the company plans other regional introductions such as the Omoda 4 and 7 in 2027.
