Who Owns OMODA?

OMODA offers battery electric and plug-in hybrid variants across its product range. The OMODA 5 is available as a BEV, PHEV, and ICE vehicle. The brand's Super Hybrid System provides both PHEV and HEV configurations. New energy vehicles account for 65 percent of total OMODA and JAECOO sales, reflecting strong demand for electrified options.

OMODA vehicles are manufactured at Chery's facilities in China and through international partnerships. Chery has invested in energy-efficient production facilities and waste reduction programs. The company's manufacturing operations emphasize environmental compliance and resource efficiency.

The OMODA 5 achieved a five-star safety rating from ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program), demonstrating compliance with international safety standards. The brand maintains compliance with safety and environmental regulations in all 69 markets where it operates.

OMODA is not certified as a B Corporation. The brand has not published independent carbon neutrality commitments or specific emissions reduction targets. Sustainability claims are limited to vehicle electrification offerings and manufacturing efficiency initiatives.

The OMODA 5 achieved a five-star safety rating from ANCAP, the Australasian New Car Assessment Program. This rating places the vehicle among the safest in its class and validates Chery's investment in safety engineering.

In Spain, a joint survey conducted by PwC Spain and Faconauto, the employers' association of car dealerships, rated OMODA and JAECOO at 9.9 points out of 10. This made the dual brand the most valued brand by dealers in Spain.

The Jaecoo 7, OMODA's companion brand model, topped UK model sales charts and was recognized by international media as Europe's most successful Chinese model. The OMODA 5 SHS-H has accumulated more than 400,000 global sales, making it one of the fastest-selling Chinese crossover models in international markets.

OMODA and JAECOO surpassed 1 million cumulative global sales in April 2026, setting the fastest million-unit record for a young automotive brand in global industry history. This milestone was announced at the 19th Beijing International Auto Show.

OMODA has experienced technical issues common to rapidly expanding automotive brands. Some owners have reported steering system faults that required service center intervention. In documented cases, these issues were addressed by authorized service centers. The brand has not issued major safety recalls affecting large numbers of vehicles.

Some OMODA E5 owners have reported issues with regenerative braking modulation, particularly at higher regen levels. Drivers have noted jerky sensations at levels 2 and 3, leading many to use level 1 regenerative braking primarily. This affects the full utilization of the vehicle's energy recovery capabilities.

As a new Chinese automotive brand, OMODA faces ongoing challenges related to consumer perception in established markets. The brand competes against automakers with decades of brand heritage and consumer trust. Overcoming skepticism about Chinese automotive quality and reliability requires sustained investment in marketing, customer education, and after-sales support.

The European Union's 2024 tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles affect OMODA's European expansion strategy. The tariffs increase costs for BEV imports from China, though the brand's hybrid and ICE offerings provide some insulation. OMODA must navigate varying regulatory environments across 69 markets with different safety standards, emissions requirements, and automotive regulations.

Parts availability and maintenance costs remain a concern in markets where Chery's service infrastructure is still developing. The brand is expanding its dealer network at a rate of approximately one new showroom per day, but maintaining consistent service standards across 69 markets presents ongoing operational challenges.
