Omoda C7 launches in South Africa as a new midsize‑SUV contender
Posted 11 November 2025 | By: Cale Nuttall
The Chinese automaker Omoda has just rolled out its latest offering – the C7 midsize‑SUV – to the South African market. With pricing and spec details now out, the car is ready to compete in a bustling segment.
A look at the C7
Front view and rear view shots show the C7’s clean lines and contemporary design. In the accompanying image gallery you can see its sleek front fascia and its bold rear profile.
Where it sits
The C7 slots in between Omoda’s C5 X compact crossover (featured in our 2025 Compact SUV Shootout) and the flagship C9. It’s noticeably larger than the C5 X but still keeps the sporty feel of an SUV.
