Omoda Jaecoo Australia has put up a page for two new SUVs. It is headed "A First Look At What's Next", and it says the Omoda 4 and Omoda 7 "offer an early look at what's coming to Australia." There is a register-interest form underneath, and the brand's home page now carries a "Meet the all-new Omoda 4 and Omoda 7" panel pointing to it.
Key Takeaways
- Omoda Jaecoo Australia has opened a register-interest page for the Omoda 4 and Omoda 7, describing them as "an early look at what's coming to Australia"
- No price, no powertrain, no grades and no month from the brand yet. Neither car is in its Build and Price tool
- Omoda Jaecoo Australia says both are confirmed for an Australian launch in the first half of 2027 (its release of 13 October 2026)
- A 1.5-litre turbo plug-in hybrid Omoda 7 is reported from certification documents, not confirmed by the brand
- Today the Omoda badge in Australia is one car, the Omoda 9. The Omoda 4 and 7 would give the badge a small and a medium SUV again
- The real contest may be in-house: the Jaecoo J5 and J7 are already on sale in the same showrooms from $25,990 and $39,990 drive-away
That is the confirmation. It is worth being clear about how thin it is, because the coverage around these two cars has filled in a lot of blanks the brand has not. There is no price on the page, no engine, no battery, no grade name and no equipment list. The timing came separately: in a release dated 13 October 2026, Omoda Jaecoo Australia said the pair were "unveiled locally at Everything Electric Sydney, with both SUVs confirmed for an Australian launch H1 2027". That means the first half of next year, with no month given. So this piece does two things: it separates what Omoda Jaecoo has actually said from what has been reported, and it works out where the two cars would land for a buyer, which is a more interesting question than it first looks.

The brand's own words are design language rather than specification. The Omoda 4 is "shaped by Omoda's Cyber Mecha design philosophy" with "a starship-inspired cockpit". The Omoda 7 has "sculpted proportions and a coupe-inspired silhouette" and a "spacious, technology-led cabin". None of that tells you what either car costs to buy or run, and we are not going to guess.
One small clue sits in the form itself. Among the things you can ask to hear more about, alongside pricing, features and colours, is "Hybrid range". That is a sensible thing to ask about for a brand whose Australian line-up has gone heavily electrified, but a drop-down option is not a powertrain announcement, and we are not treating it as one.
What Has Been Reported
The following has been reported, not confirmed by Omoda Jaecoo. Read each line as reported.
- Powertrains. Omoda Jaecoo has not confirmed powertrains for either car, but has described their arrival as an expansion of its "new energy range". It's been reported that Australian certification documents point to a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder plug-in hybrid for the Omoda 7.
- Size. The Omoda 4 has been reported at 4,420mm long and the Omoda 7 at 4,630mm long, placing them in the small and medium SUV classes.
- Rivals. The Omoda 4 lines up against the Hyundai Kona and the Omoda 7 against the Toyota RAV4.
We hold coming-soon entries for the Omoda 4 and Omoda 7 so you can follow them. Until Omoda Jaecoo Australia publishes its own documents, treat any figure for either car as provisional.
Why These Two Matter: Omoda Is Down to One Car
Open Omoda Jaecoo Australia's Build and Price tool today and the Omoda side of the house has exactly one model in it: the Omoda 9 SHS-P, a large plug-in hybrid we list at $61,990. The Omoda 5 small SUV is not in the tool, and the Omoda 5 variants we hold are listed as no longer sold new. In June Mr Muñoz said the company's focus was on building the Jaecoo brand first, with Omoda "following suit shortly".
So the Omoda 4 and Omoda 7 are not additions to a busy range. They are the range, or most of it. An Omoda dealer today has one $60,000-plus car on the Omoda side of the floor and no Omoda-badged small or medium SUV. Until these two arrive, anyone who walks in wanting a small or medium SUV is being shown a Jaecoo.

The Awkward Question: What About Jaecoo?
This is the part the launch coverage mostly skipped. Omoda and Jaecoo share one Australian distributor, one website and the same showrooms, and Jaecoo already has a small SUV and a medium SUV on sale. On Omoda Jaecoo Australia's site today, the Jaecoo J5 petrol starts from $25,990 drive-away, the J5 hybrid from $34,990 and the J5 EV from $36,990. The medium Jaecoo J7 plug-in hybrid (SHS-P) starts from $39,990 drive-away, and the J7 petrol from $42,990.
| Omoda Jaecoo model on sale | Class | From (drive-away, as advertised) |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | ||
| Jaecoo J5 | Small SUV | $25,990 |
| Jaecoo J7 | Medium SUV | $42,990 |
| Hybrid | ||
| Jaecoo J5 SHS-H | Small SUV | $34,990 |
| Plug-in hybrid | ||
| Jaecoo J7 SHS-P | Medium SUV | $39,990 |
| Electric | ||
| Jaecoo J5 EV | Small SUV | $36,990 |
Current price on CarSorted: Jaecoo J5 Track $25,990 drive-away (VIC), as at 15 Nov 2026; Jaecoo J5 Hybrid Summit $34,990 drive-away (VIC), as at 24 Jun 2026.
These are the "from" prices shown in Omoda Jaecoo Australia's model menu on 1 October 2026. The brand describes its drive-away figures as an estimate that includes the recommended retail price plus 12 months' registration, CTP insurance, dealer delivery and stamp duty, excluding paint, and says the actual figure varies by state and is not available to fleet, government or rental buyers.
Set the reported sizes beside those. On the figures we list, the J5 is 4,380mm long and the J7 SHS 4,500mm. The Omoda 4 has been reported at 4,420mm, within 40mm of the J5, and the Omoda 7 at 4,630mm, 130mm longer than the J7 SHS. In other words, if the reports are right, Omoda is about to put a car into each of the two slots Jaecoo already fills, in the same building. So far the only thing separating them on the brand's own pages is design: the Omoda pages talk about Cyber Mecha styling, a coupe-inspired roofline and technology-led cabins. Style is a real reason to buy a car. But until prices and powertrains are out, nobody can tell you whether an Omoda 4 will cost more or less than a J5, or offer anything the J5 does not.
And there is a third Chery-group option in the same classes, under the Chery badge itself. We list the Chery Tiggo 4 Hybrid Urban at $31,268 drive-away in Victoria (Chery's Melbourne-postcode price on 29 October 2026) and the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid Urban, a plug-in hybrid, at $39,990 drive-away (its $34,990 launch offer ended 30 September 2026). The Omodas will have to find room between their own siblings before they worry about Hyundai or Toyota.

See all Omoda modelsThe Omoda 4 Against the Small SUVs You Can Buy Now
If the Omoda 4 lands where it has been reported, as a Kona-sized small SUV, the established benchmarks are not cheap. We list the Hyundai Kona 2.0 FWD at $33,950 and the Kona Hybrid FWD at $36,950, and the Toyota Corolla Cross GX FWD hybrid at $37,440, all before on-road costs. Against those, the J5 petrol at $25,990 drive-away shows how low Omoda Jaecoo is already prepared to start a small SUV, which sets the bar the Omoda 4 will be measured against in its own showroom.
What we cannot tell you is which powertrain the Omoda 4 will have here, and in this class that decides almost everything about running costs. A hybrid Omoda 4 would be up against the Kona Hybrid, the Corolla Cross and its own J5 SHS-H. An electric one would be a different proposition again, with different tax treatment (more on that below). Until the brand says, the honest answer to "should I wait for the Omoda 4?" is that you would be waiting for a car whose price and engine are both unknown.

The Omoda 7 Against the Medium SUVs
If the Omoda 7 does arrive as a plug-in hybrid, as reported, it walks into a crowded patch. The cheapest plug-in RAV4 on sale that we list is the Toyota RAV4 XSE PHEV 2WD at $58,840 before on-road costs. Below that sit the Chinese plug-ins, including the J7 SHS-P from $39,990 drive-away in the same showroom and the Tiggo 7 Super Hybrid under the Chery badge.
That spread, from under $40,000 drive-away to close to $60,000 before on-roads, is exactly why the missing price matters so much. An Omoda 7 priced near the J7 would be a style choice between two corporate siblings. One priced well above it would need to justify the gap with equipment, range or charging that nobody has published yet. Our comparison below shows the cars you can actually order today.
Tax: what we can and cannot say yet
As general information only. Without prices there is no luxury car tax position to state for either car. For context, the 2026-27 thresholds are $80,809, and $91,661 for fuel-efficient vehicles, and every Omoda Jaecoo model we list as on sale today is priced well below both.
The fringe benefits tax position depends entirely on the powertrain. If the Omoda 7 is a plug-in hybrid, it would not get the electric car FBT exemption on a novated lease, because plug-in hybrids lost it for cars first held on or after 1 April 2025. If the Omoda 4 were offered as a battery-electric car under the $91,661 threshold that applies in 2026-27, it could qualify, though the ATO notes the government will complete a review of the exemption by mid-2027, close to the first-half 2027 launch window the brand has given for these cars. If a novated lease is your plan, check the position with your lease provider on the day you order, not the day you register interest.
The Small and Medium SUVs You Can Buy Today, Side by Side
The Omoda 4 and Omoda 7 are not on sale, so they are not in the comparison below. What is in it are the cars they would sit beside: one small and two medium SUVs from Omoda Jaecoo's and Chery's own ranges, plus the Kona, Corolla Cross and RAV4 plug-in. Pick any two.

Prices shown are each car's listed price on CarSorted and are not all on the same basis: each is labelled as drive-away, RRP before on-road costs, or our estimated RRP. Plug-in hybrid electric range can be on different test cycles. The Omoda 4 and Omoda 7 will be added once Omoda Jaecoo Australia publishes prices and specifications. Figures come from our car database, which is built from Australian manufacturer documents. A blank field reads “No data” rather than a zero or a dash.
What Omoda Jaecoo Has Not Told Us Yet
- Prices, and whether they will be quoted drive-away like the rest of the range.
- Powertrains for each car in Australia: petrol, hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric.
- A launch month. The brand says the first half of 2027 and nothing narrower.
- Grades, equipment, dimensions, boot space and towing. The figures circulating are overseas or reported ones.
- Fuel use, electric range and charging, which decide running costs.
- Warranty. Omoda Jaecoo Australia currently quotes an 8-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty on its cars, but it has not stated terms for these two.
- ANCAP. We hold no rating for either car.
Who Should Wait, and Who Should Not
Worth registering interest if the look is what draws you, and you are not in a hurry. Neither car is priced, signing up commits you to nothing, and the brand says registering lets you "be the first to receive the latest news, updates, and exclusive details".
Not worth waiting for if you need a car in the next six months. The brand gives the first half of 2027 but no month, and you would be holding off for a price you cannot see against cars you can drive away today. If you like the Omoda Jaecoo package, the J5 and J7 are already on sale with published prices, and it is worth asking the dealer directly how the new Omodas are expected to sit against them.
And if you are shopping on running costs or a novated lease, the powertrain is the whole story, so wait for the brand to publish it before you rearrange any plans. We will add both cars to the CarSorted directory with full specifications as Omoda Jaecoo Australia publishes them, and you can follow the brand on our Omoda page.
Disclaimer: What is described as confirmed comes from Omoda Jaecoo Australia's Omoda 4 and Omoda 7 register-interest page, home page, Build and Price tool and Omoda 9 page, checked on 1 October 2026, and its release of 13 October 2026 for launch timing and the Everything Electric unveiling, re-read on 23 October 2026. Powertrain, dimensions and rival positioning are as reported (September and June 2026) and have not been confirmed by Omoda Jaecoo Australia. Jaecoo prices are the "from" drive-away figures shown on Omoda Jaecoo Australia's site on that date, which the brand describes as estimates that vary by state. Rival prices and dimensions are the ones listed on CarSorted at the time of writing. The tax information is general information for the 2026-27 financial year, not tax advice. Confirm price, specification and availability with an Omoda Jaecoo dealer before ordering.
