Omoda C7: which version to buy

The Omoda C7 catalogue, as given, lists one generation and one version: 1.5 AT. There is no second engine, no extra gearbox, and no later restyle to pick against.

The Omoda C7 catalogue, as given, lists one generation and one version: 1.5 AT. There is no second engine, no extra gearbox, and no later restyle to pick against. The buying question is therefore not “which trim beats which trim,” but whether 1.5 AT’s measured numbers — 204 hp, 314 Nm, 1499 cm³, 8.4 s to 100, 180 km/h, combined consumption 2.3, kerb 1870 kg, gross 2392 kg, tank 60 — match what you need, and where the sheet is silent (not measured). Arithmetic on those figures is the comparison; a phantom second Omoda C7 is not.

Which Omoda C7 version exists (specs)

1.5 AT is Plug-in, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), 4 valves per cylinder. Production of this specification starts 2024-06-01; stop is not measured. Body for the generation is SUV 5-doors.

If two Omoda C7 lines ever share the name 1.5 AT, they must be told apart by power. Here there is only 204 hp, so the name 1.5 AT is unique in this data.

Generations: what changed (and what did not)

1 generation (start 2024-06-01, stop not measured) is SUV 5-doors and holds 1 modification: 1.5 AT. There is no second generation in the data, so there is no year-to-year jump in horsepower, weight, or gears to credit. Choosing “the later C7” is the same as choosing 1.5 AT in 1 generation. Restyling is not listed; it is not a separate generation.

That single-generation, single-version structure is the constraint: extra money cannot buy a documented extra axle, extra speed, or extra body. What you buy is 1.5 AT or you leave the model.

Engine: power per litre and what 1.5 AT actually is

1.5 AT displaces 1499 cm³ (1.499 L) and is rated 204 hp / 150 kW and 314 Nm.

Those ratios describe a small-displacement Plug-in with Turbo and Direct injection (direct), 4 Inline cylinders, Front, transverse — not a large naturally aspirated unit. Fuel in the sheet is 95. Compression ratio is not measured. Bore and stroke are not measured. Peak-power rpm and peak-torque rpm are not measured, so you cannot compare “where in the rev range” 1.5 AT makes 204 hp or 314 Nm.

The gearbox is Automatic with 1 speed, drive FWD. There is no second row in the table to trade FWD for another layout or 1 speed for more ratios. If you need a documented non-FWD Omoda C7, this catalogue does not contain it.

Performance and economy: 0-100, top speed, mpg-style figures

For 1.5 AT:

Average speed implied by 0–100 in 8.4 s, if acceleration were constant (it is not; this is only arithmetic on the given time): 100 / 8.4 ≈ 11.9 km/h per second of that interval. Top speed 180 is 80 km/h above 100. Combined 2.3 with tank 60 gives 60 / 2.3 × 100 ≈ 2609 units of distance per full tank if 2.3 is read as consumption per 100 distance units — a catalogue combined figure, not a city or highway split, both of which are not measured.

There is no second Omoda C7 version whose 0–100 or combined figure you can subtract from 8.4 or 2.3. “Faster C7” and “thirstier C7” are not in the data. City and highway mpg-style numbers are not measured; do not treat them as zero or as equal to 2.3.

Dimensions, weight, and what the mass buys

Ground clearance is not measured. Wheel sizes are not measured. Those two blanks matter for a SUV 5-doors buyer: you cannot rank 1.5 AT by ride height or tyre package from this sheet.

What is measured for 1.5 AT:

Front suspension: Independent, spring. Rear: Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem. Front brakes: Ventilated disc. Rear brakes: Disc.

522 kg of payload is the documented load window between 1870 and 2392. If a full load is assumed, mass rises by 522 / 1870 ≈ 27.9% versus kerb; kg/hp then moves from ≈ 9.17 to ≈ 11.73. 0–100 8.4 s and top speed 180 are given without a load state in the data; they are not re-measured here at gross weight.

Tank 60 versus combined 2.3 is the only economy-versus-range pair in the sheet. Without city and highway figures (not measured), you cannot say how that 60 behaves in town versus open road.

Which version to choose

Choose 1.5 AT if the documented mix is the job: Plug-in, 1499 cm³, Turbo, 4 Inline, Front, transverse, Direct injection (direct), fuel 95, Automatic 1 speed, FWD, 204 hp / 150 kW, 314 Nm, 0–100 8.4 s, 180 km/h, combined 2.3, kerb 1870 kg, gross 2392 kg, tank 60, SUV 5-doors, on sale from 2024-06-01 with stop not measured.

There is no alternative Omoda C7 version in this catalogue to spend “extra money” on. You cannot pay up for more hp, more Nm, another displacement, another gearbox, or another drive — those deltas would require a second named line. The only internal comparison is 1.5 AT against gaps in its own row:

1.5 AT’s specific output (≈ 136.1 hp/L) and kerb intensity (≈ 9.17 kg/hp) are the numbers that describe how hard the 1499 cm³ Plug-in is working and how much mass each horsepower carries. Payload 522 kg is the documented extra mass the 2392 kg gross allows over 1870 kg. Those three derived figures — specific output, kg/hp, payload — are the whole “which one” argument when the price list and a second SKU are absent.

Reliability and problems are not measured in this data. Do not infer them from 204 hp, 8.4 s, or combined 2.3.

Short buyer checklist (same facts, version name exact)

That is the only buy in this catalogue: 1.5 AT, or not the Omoda C7 at all.
