In this Baby & Car review, We put the 2026 Omoda 9 Super Hybrid PHEV through real-world family testing to see how practical it actually is for parents — from car seat compatibility and boot space to fuel efficiency, safety and everyday usability.

This isn’t a spec-sheet-only review. We tested the Omoda 9 with kids, car seats, a pram and luggage to answer the questions families actually ask before buying a family SUV.

What we tested in this review:

Real-world fuel use: around 6.1L/100km when used as a hybrid (no charging), Second-row space, flat floor and ease of getting kids in and out, Large boot space for prams, shopping and airport runs, Infotainment, safety tech and family-friendly features.

We also tested three seats across the second row to see how family friendly this SUV really is.

🔋 Plug-in hybrid explained (for parents)
The Omoda 9 can be driven:
In EV mode for short trips when charged
As a hybrid when the battery drops to around 20% or a combination of both, depending on how and where you drive this makes it a flexible option for families who can’t always charge but still want lower fuel costs.

Who this car is best for:
Families looking for a budget-conscious PHEV SUV, Parents wanting space, comfort and tech without paying $80K+, One- or two-child families needing strong car seat compatibility, Buyers cross-shopping the BYD Sealion 6, GWM Haval H6 PHEV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Mazda CX-60 and Jaecoo J7 PHEV
