While a milestone moment for the entire Zenvo Automotive team, the public debut marked one of many development targets that the engineering team has already achieved. It was rightly celebrated at the Festival, and by the talented team in Præstø, Denmark by the factory-based team, but testing and engineering developments were immediately back underway as soon as the prototype had finished its public showing. Such are the rigours of the development process, for Aurora Tur Validation Prototype 0 has already been assessed – with a clean bill of health. Having run fault-free, the quad-turbo V12 powerplant, housed inside the newly developed carbon structure is now being reviewed and updated, with preparations for the next programme requirements already underway. “Our team is working flat out to keep momentum going. Goodwood was a huge moment for Zenvo Automotive, the project, and the entire team. I could not be prouder that we were able to properly celebrate what everyone has delivered to this point,” explains Chairman and Chief Commercial Officer, Jens Sverdrup, who unveiled the latest prototype alongside the Duke of Richmond. “However, this was just the latest in a long list of achievements that the dedicated team is working through ticking off. Public reaction was incredibly positive, but the work really starts now.” Customer engagement has been a key part of the Aurora programme since the outset, with the carefully selected retailer network working closely with Zenvo to provide updates and insights. As part of this continued programme, development will shortly head Stateside, with confirmation of activation during Monterey’s infamous ‘Car Week’. Zenvo Automotive will, once again, be present and hosting guests looking to get a closer look at the Aurora, as it continues its progress towards production.

Completing the route using the power of only one charge and one tank of fuel, the OMODA 9 exceeded its WLTP estimate of 700 miles. Remarkably, 730 miles were accomplished with no refuelling or concerns, and plenty more still left in the 70-litre fuel tank. The nine-country tour began in England on the white cliffs of Dover and traced a path through France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria. From the cobbled towns of Luxembourg to the sleek stretches of the German Autobahn, the journey showcased the OMODA 9 as a powerful, luxurious and future-ready touring SUV. Crafted for long-distance serenity and ‘quiet luxury’, the OMODA 9’s proprietary Chery International-derived super hybrid powertrain combines near-silent propulsion with acoustically optimised tyres and glass. The cabin is engineered around tranquillity, offering passengers a 24.6-inch curved screen display, ambient lighting, PM3.0 Air Purification, and fully reclining heated and ventilated seats, making the journey to the destination, just as important as reaching it. Powered by a 1.5-litre TGDI engine, dual electric motors and a 34.46 kWh M3P battery, the OMODA 9 delivers 449 PS, 700 Nm of torque, and acceleration from 0-62 mph in just 4.9 seconds. During the nine-country tour, the OMODA 9’s six drive modes ensured smooth progress across every terrain and climate. Whether in the congestion of rush-hour Brussels, cruising past sun-drenched hay bales in rural France, or summoning instant torque for the high-speed corridors of the autobahn, the OMODA 9 delivered consistent power, efficiency, and comfort at every turn. Designed for pan-European versatility, the OMODA 9 has 660 litres of rear luggage space, expanding to 1,783 litres with split-folding rear seats. With ample room for five adults and elegant design details throughout, the vehicle’s practicality meets aesthetic grace, making it the perfect partner for long-haul family touring. OMODA UK CEO Gary Lan said: “For the OMODA 9 and team to have completed the nine countries trip is a huge accomplishment, embodying more than our faith in our Super Hybrid System technology – it reflects our belief in making a connection to the journey. The OMODA 9 links people to purpose, ambition to accessibility, and lifestyle to innovation. We challenged the convention of what a plug-in hybrid can do, and we did it not just with substance, but with style. “Our core values; quiet luxury, intelligent technology, and bold design, come together in the OMODA 9. We’re showcasing a vehicle that is not only a work of art in engineering, but a platform for creative expression and adventurous storytelling. Next time you see an OMODA 9, just think where else it could take you on one tank and one charge.” Offering large all-wheel drive SUV levels of refinement, quality, technology and safety at mid-sized SUV cost, the OMODA 9 SHS will be available in the UK through OMODA&JAECOO UK’s expansive dealer network, priced at £44,990 OTR* with a 7-year/100,000-mile warranty (whichever comes first); plus 8-year warranty on the battery, alongside RAC Home Start, as standard.
