SHS: Smarter Drive
SHS Hybrid is a distinctive electrified powertrain that now offers a smoother, quieter, and more efficient driving experience with enhanced responsiveness.
Technology Overview
The SHS system uses a 1.5 TGDI turbocharged petrol engine with direct injection and intelligent optimisation. It delivers up to 44.5% thermal efficiency.
Up to 90 miles of pure EV range for zero-emission commuting
Plug in overnight and cover the vast majority of daily journeys on electric power alone.
01/03
A 1.5 TGDI engine extends your range for longer trips
When the battery runs low the petrol engine takes over seamlessly — no range anxiety.
02/03
Fast home charging tops the battery up ready for the day
Flexible charging means you decide how much electric driving you want.
03/03
Offering the best of both worlds
Self Charging Hybrid has arrived, bringing cutting-edge SHS (Super Hybrid System) technology to a full hybrid (HEV) version that never requires a charging socket. Total peace of mind
01/03
A high-efficiency engine that steps in seamlessly for longer journeys
When you need it, the petrol engine engages smoothly to extend your range without compromise.
02/03
Intelligent energy recovery keeps the battery topped up as you drive
Braking and coasting recover energy back into the battery, maximising efficiency mile after mile.

Dedicated Hybrid Engine
So what? Well, it can create more electricity per litre of fuel than any other.
Advanced Engine Technologies
A number of core technologies to maximise efficiency. From the Deep Miller Cycle firing order to intelligent control of turbo and lubrication.
Driving Style
Driving at high speeds and accelerating and braking aggressively can reduce the range.
Vehicle Load
Having more passengers or luggage in the car will increase the weight and reduce the range.

The Power of Both Technologies
Plug-In Hybrid: Smart Power
OMODA’s plug-in hybrid technology combines electric efficiency with petrol reliability. The battery can be recharged on the go by the 1.5T engine, so you can drive further, spend less, and always have a backup plan when you need it.
Battery runs low?
The engine recharges the battery as you drive, so you never need to plug in.
Fuel efficiency
Depending on how the vehicle is used and charged, you may never need to add more fuel.
Always ready
A perfect balance of fuel efficiency and complete peace of mind on every journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a Self-Charging Hybrid and a Plug-in Hybrid?
Both our SHS-H (Self-Charging Hybrid) and our SHS-P (Plug-in Hybrid) use the same Dedicated Hybrid Engine. All that differs is the size of the battery. The SHS-H has a 1.83kW battery while the SHS-P starts with 18.4kW. So the SHS-P can travel further on EV power than the SHS-H, but the SHS-H offers a lower entry price and is ideal for those that will not charge often.
Do hybrids need charging?
This is where our SHS system really stands out. Even our SHS-P Plug-in hybrids can self-charge, so will never fully deplete. So you get to enjoy the reduced running costs and instant torque from the electric drivetrain.
What is the lifespan of a hybrid battery?
All of our high-voltage batteries are covered by our 8-year, 100,000 mile warranty. All our used cars come with a battery test certificate too.
Do hybrids have the same residual values as traditional cars?
Absolutely, our range achieve impressive residual values, and if you buy using our range of PCP finance options, the future value is guaranteed.
Are hybrid cars cheaper to run?
Yes, they use less petrol when compared to similarly powered ICE (Internal Combustion Engines) engines in general use. If you are able to consistently plug-in our SHS-P drivetrain, on a low-cost tariff, then the savings can ramp up quickly.
Is an electric car suitable for long journeys?
They can be, depending on the journey length and infrastructure when you get there. With 3-pin charging available at 3.3kW and up to 110kW with DC rapid charging, you can top up on the go. If you prefer to have the peace of mind, our SHS-P offers the best of both worlds, with up to 90 miles of EV range and up to 745 miles total range.
