Taupo’s Latest Drive: Meet the Vehicle Brand with a Game-Changing 7-Year Warranty!
Taupo residents will soon get the chance to try out a new range of high-spec and high-value compact SUVs, with the imminent launch of Omoda, a vehicle brand that’s already made an impact overseas with industry-leading guarantees. Offering a compelling blend of style, technology, and unparalleled warranty promises, Omoda is poised to redefine what New Zealand drivers expect from their vehicles. In Taupo, Omoda vehicles will be sold at Ingham Omoda, located at 67 Ruapehu Street, Taupo. Also, the proud suppliers of Hyundai and Isuzu for the Taupo region.
The name ‘OMODA’ merges ‘O’, signifying Oxygen, with ‘MODA’, symbolising modernity. This fusion represents a commitment to a modern and stylish lifestyle, emphasising the brand’s dedication to crafting vehicles that are not only technologically advanced but also visually appealing. The brand will initially launch with two models, the Omoda C5 and the fully electric variant, the Omoda E5. Additional models will launch alongside its sister brand, Jaecoo, later this year. Omoda vehicles will come with an exceptional seven-year vehicle warranty, regardless of mileage and 7-years of roadside assistance. Additionally, the Omoda E5 EV will feature an additional eight-year battery warranty, reflecting Omoda NZ’s commitment to quality and sustainability within their electric vehicle lineup.
Providing consumers with generous assurance backs the confidence Omoda has in the fleet they’re bringing to market, says Sheldon Humphries, Omoda Country Manager.
“Omoda vehicles are at the forefront of innovation, design and safety, but we want our customers to have complete confidence on the road so they can enjoy the driving experience.
“We know bringing a new brand to New Zealand is a big step for Kiwis to take, so by offering one of the most generous warranties on the market and the guarantee of parts and roadside assistance, we can show our commitment to New Zealand customers and this market ahead of launch,” says Humphries. With four R&D centres around the world, Omoda vehicles will be well-equipped with an advanced ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) suite that enhances both safety and driving convenience. In Australia, where Omoda vehicles are already for sale, the C5 has been recognised for its safety features with a 5-star ANCAP safety rating. At the heart of the Omoda’s appeal will be its focus on advanced technology. The C5 SUV boasts dual 10.25-inch screens, serving as both the driver’s gauge cluster and the infotainment display. These highresolution screens offer an intuitive interface, enhanced visibility, and seamless integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring you stay connected wherever you go.
A standout feature of the Omoda C5 so far has been its innovative artificial intelligence-powered voice command system. The customisable “Hello Omoda” voice-control system allows for unprecedented levels of personalisation and convenience, responding to your commands with ease and accuracy.
With its innovative product lineup, advanced safety features, and cutting-edge in-car technology, Omoda is not just keeping up with the trends – it’s setting them. The arrival of Omoda marks a new chapter in New Zealand’s automotive landscape, one where value, high-specs, and innovation converge.
