La nouvelle vague de PHEV chinois en Europe : Omoda 9, Jaecoo 8 Super Hybrid et BYD Seal U comparés
Les constructeurs chinois lancent leurs hybrides rechargeables les plus sophistiqués sur les routes européennes. Analyse comparative détaillée des futurs Omoda 9 et Jaecoo 8 face au leader BYD Seal U DM-i.
The phenomenal commercial success of the BYD Seal U DM-i in Europe has emboldened Chinese automakers to deploy their most technologically formidable flagship models: the Omoda 9 PHEV and the rugged 7-seat Jaecoo 8 Super Hybrid.
Here is an in-depth technical analysis comparing their multi-speed DHT transmissions, massive 34.4 kWh battery architectures, and DC fast charging capabilities against Europe's established market benchmark.
Technical Specifications & Benchmark Comparison
| Parameter | Omoda 9 PHEV | Jaecoo 8 Super Hybrid | BYD Seal U DM-i |

1. Battery & Drivetrain Technology: The 3-Speed DHT Advantage
Conventional single-gear hybrid systems often struggle with elevated fuel consumption during high-speed motorway cruising. Chery Group’s 3-Speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT) solves this by utilizing three discrete mechanical gear ratios for the petrol combustion engine. This keeps engine RPM significantly lower at 130–140 km/h cruising speeds while retaining direct EV launch torque.
2. Massive 34.4 kWh Battery Pack: Genuine EV Usability
Both the Omoda 9 and Jaecoo 8 feature a substantial 34.4 kWh pack—a capacity matching entire pure BEVs from previous years (such as the Renault Zoe or Dacia Spring). On European commutes, this provides a real-world zero-emission electric range of 120–140 km, effectively doubling the electric autonomy of standard European PHEVs.
3. DC Fast Charging: Eliminating PHEV Roadblock
While many traditional European PHEVs remain capped at 3.7 kW or 7.4 kW AC charging (requiring 3–5 hours), the Omoda 9 and Jaecoo 8 support high-speed 60 kW+ CCS2 DC fast charging, replenishing 30% to 80% SoC in approximately 20 minutes at motorway rest stops.
Summary & Verdict
With generous equipment, ultra-long pure electric range exceeding 140 km, and 3-speed DHT mechanical refinement, the Omoda 9 and Jaecoo 8 Super Hybrid set a high technical bar for the 2026 European SUV market.
