Omoda 4 Crossover Launching in UK 2026: Ford Puma Rival

Greetings, Net Zero News Community,

In an exciting development for the automotive world, the rapidly expanding Chinese brand Omoda has unveiled its latest innovation, the Omoda 4. This new addition to their lineup is set to make waves in the UK market, with its official launch anticipated in 2026.

The Omoda 4 was showcased at a ‘User Summit’ held by its parent company, Chery Group, at their headquarters in Wuhu, China. This urban B-segment crossover is poised to take on popular rivals such as the Ford Puma and Renault Captur, targeting a younger demographic with its modern design and advanced features. While Omoda has kept many details under wraps for now, they have indicated that the Omoda 4 will focus on delivering what the younger generation truly needs from their vehicles, emphasising safety, security, and spaciousness.

The design of the Omoda 4 is nothing short of spectacular, drawing inspiration from the cosmos. The brand has adopted a ‘Cyber Mecha’ design philosophy, a term they coined to describe the fusion of angular lines, metallic finishes, and elements drawn from robotics and the captivating world of science fiction comics. This bold aesthetic is sure to turn heads on the road.

One of the standout features of the Omoda 4 is its ‘O-Universe’ lighting system. The front lighting employs a striking lightning bolt shape, a design element that is echoed in the rear lights, providing a cohesive look that is both futuristic and visually appealing. This distinctive lighting scheme will also be found on the upcoming Omoda 7, which is expected to arrive in the UK in early 2026.

Inside, the Omoda 4 offers a “tech-inspired cabin,” designed with influences from the gaming industry to create a sci-fi and e-sports-themed interior. The central display boasts a powerful 2.5K Snapdragon processor, akin to those found in high-end gaming screens, while the driver’s interface is designed to evoke the feel of a gaming cockpit, enhancing the overall driving experience.

The interior design is further accentuated by a central control centre that draws inspiration from spacecraft, featuring diamond-shaped physical buttons that add an element of intrigue to the cockpit. The ignition button is cleverly hidden beneath a red, pilot-style cage, introducing an element of visual drama that complements the overall futuristic theme.

In terms of performance, the Omoda 4 will offer a range of powertrains, including internal combustion engines (ICE), hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric options, tailored to meet the diverse needs of various regions. Additionally, Omoda is committed to providing peace of mind with an impressive seven-year or 100,000-mile warranty (whichever comes first), alongside an eight-year warranty on the battery, ensuring customers can drive with confidence. Standard features will also include RAC Home Start, adding extra convenience for drivers.

Upon its arrival in the UK, the Omoda 4 will join an expanding roster of Omoda vehicles, including the recently updated 5/E5 C-segment SUV, the flagship 9 plug-in hybrid D-segment SUV, and the highly anticipated Omoda 7 PHEV SUV.

Victor Zhang, the UK country director for Omoda, expressed his enthusiasm for the new model, stating, “We see real promise with Omoda 4, and our partners, dealers, and team are very excited to confirm the Omoda 4 will join the expanding family of Omoda vehicles in 2026. This is the first car from Omoda to include the ‘Cyber Mecha’ thinking, and through the UK feedback, we can co-create together to define the next generation of Omoda vehicles. We launched Omoda in the UK in August 2024 with a bold vision for the UK market, and the addition of Omoda 4 further underpins our strategy – 2026 is going to be a great year as we add Omoda 7 and this, the Omoda 4, to the line-up.”

As we look forward to the official launch, further details about the Omoda 4—ranging from powertrain options and trim levels to pricing and availability—are expected to be revealed in the coming months. This new vehicle promises to not only capture the attention of the younger generation but also contribute significantly to the evolving landscape of sustainable automotive solutions.
