2026 Omoda 9 SHS Super Hybrid: Real World Highway Electric Range Test

Tom and Joy from the Ludicrous Feed YouTube channel take the Chery Omoda 9 Super Hybrid plug-in hybrid (PHEV) through a real-world electric range test on the highways and motorways around Sydney, including the M5, M8, M1, M2, and M7. The all-wheel-drive SUV features a 34 kWh battery, flush door handles, 20-inch wheels, red brake calipers, a Sony sound system, power rear seats, a fragrance cartridge system, a head-up display, and a claimed NEDC electric range of 169 km. They compare the Omoda 9 directly against the GWM Haval H6 GT Ultra PHEV and the BYD Sealion 6 premium all-wheel drive, noting the Omoda’s higher price but larger battery and faster 70 kW DC charging. After driving from 99% state of charge down to 11% before the hybrid mode engaged, they recorded 152 km of actual highway driving with air conditioning on, achieving 19.68 kWh per 100 km. The review covers interior design, drive modes including EV Plus and Eco, intelligent cruise control, auto steer, and why a bigger battery matters for daily commuting without range anxiety | Video by Tom Gan (Tesla Tom) and Joy of Ludicrous Feed from Sydney Australia May 2026 2026 Omoda 9 SHS Super Hybrid: Real World Highway Electric Range Test Correction: Sealion 6 Premium Extended Range now has a battery size of 26.6kWh and 130km NEDC range ===== Financial Disclosure: This vehicle was on loan from Chery for the purposes of review, testing, and content creation With thanks to our sponsors: carloop - Australian EV Data & Ownership Trends https://carloop.com.au/ ===== 00:00 Introduction and First Look 00:26 Exterior Design Impressions 00:54 Charging Port Confusion 01:17 Boot Space and Powered Tailgate 01:40 Rear Seat Features 02:19 Interior Luxury Comparison 02:51 Rear Passenger Seat Controls 03:46 Front Door Opening Mechanisms 04:33 Driver’s Seat Memory and Adjustments 05:21 Screen Integration and Layout 06:06 Phone Charging and Ventilation 07:03 Fragrance Cartridge System 07:54 HVAC and Drive Mode Controls 08:59 Electric Range Test Start 09:49 Test Route and Battery Specs 10:41 On the Highway and Regen Braking 12:02 EV Plus Mode Engaged 13:08 Crossing Anzac Bridge 14:39 Sydney Harbour Bridge 16:34 Trip Computer Reset 17:26 Freeway Driving 18:39 Halfway Battery Check 20:03 Approaching One Loop of Sydney 21:12 Battery Nearing Cutoff 22:27 Low Battery Warning 23:39 Hybrid Mode Kicks In 24:06 Final Range Calculation 25:25 Pricing & Specs 26:06 Competitor Comparison: GWM Haval H6 GT vs BYD Sealion 6 ===== SUPPORT LUDICROUS FEED Use my referral link to purchase a Tesla product and get cash off and other exclusive benefits: https://www.tesla.com/en_AU/referral/...
