What is it?

The Omoda C3 is a crossover designed for Gen Z, defying convention to forge a new paradigm, according to Omoda.

Exterior:

“With the OMODA C3, we’ve moved beyond design trends to create a new visual language that speaks to a generation shaped by technology, individuality and bold self-expression,” commented Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager for OMODA & JAECOO South Africa. “It’s more than a car; it’s a statement of where mobility, art and innovation converge.”

Every sharp contour reflects a shift in light; every etched line follows the flow of current. The C3 isn’t just a new vehicle—it’s a bold statement of future-facing design.

Interior:

Inside, the C3’s cabin has been styled as a futuristic command centre. Drawing inspiration from aviation and performance design, it features ‘fighter jet-style instrumentation’, mechanical switchgear and an immersive cockpit experience designed for the modern driver.

Coming to SA?

The OMODA C3 is officially confirmed for the South African market and will be introduced locally in 2026, following its global launch in October 2025. The C3 will be available in both petrol and NEV powertrains, catering to a wider range of driving preferences.

Price and specifications will be announced closer to the date of the local launch.
