Hello from the paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) 2026! We’re reporting from the Omoda | Jaecoo booth, where the yet-to-be-launched-but-open-for-booking-since-August Omoda C7 is on display. Come and take a closer look – you can also take a test drive.

Malaysians can choose between ICE (RM160k estimated) and PHEV (RM180k estimated) powertrains, both locally assembled (CKD) in Shah Alam. It’s the ICE variant that’s on display at ACE 2026.

The ICE car has a 197 PS/290 Nm 1.6 litre turbo engine and a seven-speed DCT, but whether we’ll get the 2WD, AWD or both is not yet public knowledge. We will however point out that the Jaecoo J7, Jaecoo J8 and Omoda C9 all come with both 2WD and AWD variants in Malaysia.
