OMODA X Off-Road Crossover Debuts With Night Vision

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 (Bernama) -- OMODA, part of Chery’s OMODA & JAECOO division, has unveiled the OMODA X, which it describes as the world’s first “cross off-road vehicle”, at a global debut event on Oct 20.

The model combines the practicality of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) with the adventurous capability of an off-roader and the dynamic character of a sports car, according to the company in a statement.

It is built around the brand’s three core themes: mecha design, crossover versatility and smart technology.

The OMODA X has 200 millimetres (mm) of ground clearance, a wading capability of more than 700 mm, a towing capacity of up to 1,800 kilograms (kg), a roof load capacity of 75 kg and 39 storage spaces.

Its design draws on futuristic, robot-inspired mecha culture, with a wide-body stance, geometric surfaces inspired by mecha aircraft and lightning-shaped tail lights.

The vehicle features an artificial intelligence (AI)-based in-car system called Super Intelligent AI Space, an X-MODE setting that adjusts the car’s settings and performance to the driver’s preferences, and an infrared night vision system that can identify potential hazards up to 90 metres away.

At the launch, four users from Indonesia, Brazil, South Africa and Poland presented their own interpretations of the model as part of the brand’s OMODA X Co-Creation Project.
