It also adds further momentum to the range, which has achieved strong early traction since its local introduction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Since launch, nearly 600 C7 units have been sold through the OMODA &amp; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaecoo.co.za\/\"><span>JAECOO<\/span><\/a><span> network, despite the model having been on the market for only around half a year. This performance reflects growing interest in the range and reinforces the C7\u2019s position as a strong contender in the family SUV market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWinning the Family category at the 2026 South African Car of the Year sponsored by Old Mutual Insure is an important achievement for OMODA in South Africa,\u201d said <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/hans-greyling-69031955\/\"><span>Hans Greyling<\/span><\/a><span>, General Manager for OMODA &amp; JAECOO South Africa. \u201cThe C7 was developed to offer style, technology, safety and value in a package that suits local families, and this recognition reinforces the strength of that proposition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The C7 range offers buyers the choice of petrol and SHS plug-in hybrid powertrains, with the latter delivering up to 105 km of all-electric driving range and a total range of approximately 1,200 km. The range also includes a high level of standard comfort, safety and connectivity features, supported by OMODA\u2019s comprehensive warranty and ownership package.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The C7 range starts at R539,900 for the C7 1.6 TGDI Luxury, followed by the C7 1.6 TGDI Elegance at R589,900. The C7 SHS is priced at R689,900, positioning the plug-in hybrid derivative as part of a broader line-up that combines petrol and electrified options with OMODA\u2019s standard safety, technology and ownership package.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With its Family category win, the OMODA C7 adds another important proof point to the brand\u2019s local growth story and strengthens OMODA\u2019s position in South Africa\u2019s family SUV market.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_184728\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-184728\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/?attachment_id=184728\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-184728 size-full lazyload\" alt width=\"512\" height=\"341\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" src=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/xSAGMJ-COTY-2026.jpg.pagespeed.ic.u0M-_H1jcz.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/xSAGMJ-COTY-2026.jpg.pagespeed.ic.u0M-_H1jcz.jpg 512w, https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/SAGMJ-COTY-2026-300x200.jpg 300w\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-184728\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The OMODA C7 Photo: SAGMJ COTY 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/save-with-myprs-monthly-flat-fee\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proceed to Page 2 for Contact Info and Editor\u2019s Notes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Track_Your_Press_Release_HERE\"><\/span>Track Your Press Release HERE:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"mypr-visibility-box\" readability=\"4.2608695652174\">\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Online_Visibility\"><\/span>Check Online Visibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Verify where this release is currently indexed:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\" aria-current=\"page\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/omoda-c7-shs-wins-family-category-at-2026-south-african-car-of-the-year-sponsored-by-old-mutual-insure\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/omoda-c7-shs-wins-family-category-at-2026-south-african-car-of-the-year-sponsored-by-old-mutual-insure\/\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE to Read the Original Press Release on MyPR<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The C7 has claimed the Family category at the 2026 South African Car of the Year sponsored by Old Mutual Insure, giving OMODA important recognition in a competitive SUV segment.
