The global preview of OMODA 4 (formerly OMODA 3) was successfully held during this year’s Chery User Summit at Chery Group’s headquarters in Wuhu, China.
In an unveiling ceremony held in an industrial complex and featuring sci-fi characters, mixologists and even a body-art booth, the launch of the OMODA 4 ushered in a new era for the brand.
While full details of the OMODA 4 are still light in the launch phase, the B-segment SUV is expected to be launched in markets around the world in 2026 as part of Chery’s expanding line-up of ICE cars and New Energy Vehicles (NEVs).
Taking on a future-focused look at what the younger generation needs from their car, the OMODA 4 is designed to offer drivers a sense of safety, security and space – both inside the cabin and being inspired by outer space itself.
The OMODA 4 adopts a “Cyber Mecha” design philosophy; a term OMODA uses to define its mix of angular lines, metallic finishes, and details inspired by robotics and the aesthetics of science fiction comics.
From the O-Universe lighting at the front – which uses a lightning bolt-shaped design, which is also carried into the rear lighting (also seen on the OMODA 7, due in the UK, Q1 2026) – to the tech-inspired cabin, OMODA 4 showcases a new era of technology overlapping design.
Discussing the exterior design, Richard Koo, OMODA Design Director, said: “OMODA 4 adopts the “Cyber Mecha” design philosophy, presenting a futuristic mecha-inspired exterior.
During the journey through the O-Universe, mysterious quantum fluctuations are activated, transforming into the unique “O-Universe lighting”, the most recognisable visual signature of OMODA 4 and a symbol bridging virtual and real worlds.”
Inside, the five-seater B-segment sized crossover transports drivers and passengers into a sci-fi and e-sports-themed interior. From the central display, which uses a 2.5K Snapdragon processor – much like a gaming screen – to the screen in front of the driver, each display has been chosen to encase the front of the cockpit.
It doesn’t end there, as the OMODA 4 also has a spaceship-inspired central control centre, where diamond-shaped physical buttons encase the middle of the cockpit. The engine start button is found beneath a red, pilot-style cage, adding visual drama to every journey.
Further expanding on the sci-fi inspiration, Richard Koo continued and said, “Consumers will pay for sci-fi style, but they won’t tolerate form over function. OMODA 4’s dynamic contours not only reflect cutting-edge aesthetics but also resonate with the passionate mindset of the younger generation.
That being said, full details of the OMODA 4, including powertrain choices, trim levels, pricing, and availability will be revealed later in 2026.
