    Further vehicles that took part in the test used only standard equipment; tire pressures at 42 psi; carrying three passengers and 10 kilograms worth of items; and were in extreme energy-saving mode with the highest regenerative braking settings activated.

This certification is proof of Omoda’s automotive engineering DNA: the Art in Motion, which boasts smart innovations, eco-friendly features, and distinctly modern aesthetics,” Chen noted.
