Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia Achievements
Since its debut in 2024, Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia has continued to record impressive achievements.
In its first year, more than 7,040 units were sold, with that figure soaring to 17,849 units in 2025, marking an increase of over 153 percent.
Among these, the Jaecoo J7 was the best-selling model (11,522 units), while over 3,000 customers chose the Jaecoo J7 Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV).
According to Men Lin Bo, Executive Vice President of Chery Corporate Malaysia, “Our strong growth in 2025 is a clear indication that Omoda | Jaecoo has transformed from a newcomer brand into a preferred choice among the Malaysian people.
“For 2026, our focus will be on further strengthening our position as a pillar of the local automotive industry.”
Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia celebrated a significant milestone with the delivery of its 20,000th vehicle within 14 months of the brand’s introduction in the country.
The delivery of the 20,000th vehicle was commemorated at an exclusive event themed “20,000 and Beyond: A Celebration of Trust,” held at the Blossom Glass Mansion in Kuala Lumpur.
Over 100 guests attended the event, which also witnessed the handover of a Jaecoo J7 PHEV to its new owner, Khirdzir Ali.
“Like many others, I am truly honored to be part of this remarkable achievement with the delivery of the 20,000th Omoda | Jaecoo vehicle in Malaysia. It is immensely gratifying to see how quickly this brand has grown and the positive response it has received from drivers in Malaysia,” Khirdzir stated.
He also expressed his eagerness to enjoy the comfort and efficiency of the new J7 PHEV with his family.
In addition to family-friendly activities and the exhibition of the soon-to-be-launched Jaecoo J5 model, a J7 AWD owned by Irene Tee, which has recorded a mileage of 70,000 km in less than a year, was also showcased.
Clement Yeo, Acting Sales Director of Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia, said, “Achieving 20,000 vehicle registrations in just over a year is indeed a proud moment for us and demonstrates the confidence that Malaysian customers have in Omoda | Jaecoo. This milestone is also part of a broader achievement for the Chery Group, which has recorded 5 million vehicle sales in export markets, with more than 600,000 units contributed by Omoda | Jaecoo vehicles.
“Through our network of dealers, we remain committed to delighting Malaysian customers with an exceptional portfolio that combines advanced technologies like the Super Hybrid System with comfort, safety, and premium design,” he added.
As a premium SUV brand, Omoda | Jaecoo now offers four core models: the Jaecoo J7, Jaecoo J7 PHEV, Jaecoo J8, and Omoda C9, supported by over 50 strategic dealers, spare parts warehouses, and local assembly operations in Shah Alam.
This achievement also solidifies its position among the top five automotive brands for the first half of 2025 (1H 2025).
In conjunction with this latest achievement, Omoda | Jaecoo is offering a promotion of free 7-year service or a reward valued at RM5,000 for the Jaecoo J7 PHEV, valid until December 31, 2025.
Attractive financing and service packages are also available for the Jaecoo J7 2WD, J7 AWD, C9 2WD, and C9 AWD models, running from October 1 to December 31, 2025.
In addition to the Jaecoo J5 model, Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia is set to launch another SUV model, the Omoda C9 Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) variant, this year.
While the non-hybrid variant comes equipped with a 2.0L turbo engine (261 PS/400 Nm), the PHEV variant features a 1.5-liter engine paired with three electric motors.
The total power output reaches 605 PS and torque measures 915 Nm, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds.
With a three-speed hybrid DHT transmission, the Omoda C9 PHEV boasts fuel consumption as low as 1.7 liters per 100 km.
Its 34.46 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery pack offers an emission-free range of up to 150 km, contributing to an overall driving range of 1,100 km.
Additionally, it supports AC charging of up to 6.6 kW and fast DC charging of up to 70 kW.
Like the C9 ICE model, the C9 PHEV is also equipped with MacPherson strut and multi-link suspension setups, as well as a Continuous Damping Control (CDC) system that can adjust suspension response up to 100 times per second.
There are up to seven driving modes available to adapt to current driving conditions.
The estimated selling price for the Omoda C9 PHEV is around RM220,000.
For reference, the standard Omoda C9 variant starts at RM168,000 for the 2WD version, and RM188,000 for the all-wheel drive (AWD) version.
In conjunction with the Omoda | Jaecoo Carnival held at Desa ParkCity, Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia has officially showcased the new Jaecoo J5 model, which is set to launch shortly.
As a B-segment SUV, the Jaecoo J5 will be positioned as a smaller alternative to the existing Jaecoo J7 SUV.
Here are five key facts about the Jaecoo J5 you should know:
Dimensions
The Jaecoo J5 measures 4,380 mm in length, 1,860 mm in width, and 1,650 mm in height, offering a wheelbase of 2,620 mm.
Among competitors in the B-segment SUV category, the J5 has the same length as the Proton X50, while being slightly shorter than the Chery Omoda 5, Chery Tiggo Cross, and Honda HR-V.
However, the J5 benefits from a longer wheelbase, contributing to a more spacious cabin.
Additionally, the J5 boasts a cargo space of 480 liters, which can expand to 1,180 liters when the second-row seats are folded down in a 60:40 split.
Engine
The J5 is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine that generates 147 PS and 210 Nm of torque.
This power is transmitted to the front wheels via a CVT transmission, with a fuel consumption rating of approximately 7.5 liters per 100 km.
Chassis
Unique in its segment, the Jaecoo J5 features a MacPherson strut suspension setup for the front axle and a multi-link configuration at the rear.
In comparison, most competing B-segment SUV models are equipped with simpler torsion beam setups.
Exterior
Like other Jaecoo models, the J5 showcases a premium exterior inspired by British SUV design.
All four corners are fitted with 18-inch rims, along with 235/55 R18 tires for a more stylish appearance.
Other notable features include headlights with integrated daytime running lights in a single housing, a relatively large grille structure, conventional door handles, and a rear spoiler.
Interior
The J5’s cabin comes equipped with amenities such as an 8-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 13.2-inch central screen with 2K resolution supporting WiFi, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, as well as an 8-speaker audio system.
The materials used in the J5 include pet-friendly finishes certified by TUV, alongside ADAS Level 2.5 features and a 540-degree surround camera system.
Set to be launched soon, the Jaecoo J5 is estimated to be priced around RM120,000.
Will this new Jaecoo model be able to compete with other sub-compact SUV models?
More than a year after its first unveiling, Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia has officially launched their second SUV model, the Jaecoo J8, last month.
Retaining the off-road theme, the Jaecoo J8 presents a more elegant and luxurious image compared to its sibling, the J7.
During the launch, the J8 was described as a rugged vehicle providing a first-class passenger experience.
To demonstrate the true capability of this SUV in more challenging terrain, Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia hosted an off-road driving experience session at Sepang Bay 13.
Several obstacles were set up, starting with the Rock Crawl section, a 30-degree Side Slope, a Log Run simulating a path over logs, and a Water Wading section.
The rainy weather in the early morning provided a more challenging surface compared to the previous day.
Despite being equipped with standard Michelin e-Premacy tires, the Jaecoo J8 had no trouble navigating the previously mentioned challenges.
So, what is the secret that prevents the Jaecoo J8 from making drivers sweat?
1. Powerful Engine
The 2.0L turbo inline-four engine, capable of delivering 249 PS and 385 Nm of torque, responds quickly without significant delay.
With just consistent throttle control, this SUV successfully tackled all the challenging sections presented.
Most importantly, it was hard to detect any tire slippage, showcasing the efficiency of the systems offered.
2. AWD System with Torque Vectoring Control
For this challenge, we had the opportunity to drive the all-wheel-drive (AWD) version of the Jaecoo J8, which is also equipped with Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control.
According to Jaecoo, this AWD system features a dual-clutch setup that can independently distribute torque, allowing 100% of the engine power to be sent to the rear wheels that have better traction.
3. Adaptive CDC Suspension
As standard, the Jaecoo J8 comes with MacPherson strut suspension at the front, assisted by a multi-link setup at the rear.
It also features CDC, which stands for Continuous Damping Control.
This CDC feature adjusts the suspension damping settings in as little as 0.002 seconds, depending on the selected driving mode and current road conditions.
There are three levels: Soft, Medium, and Hard.
What we noticed was that the cabin remained free of significant vibrations and noise from rough road surfaces, particularly while navigating the Rock Crawl section.
It felt like nothing was happening inside the cabin, even though outside, we witnessed the chassis of the Jaecoo J8 swaying and bouncing as it attempted to overcome the large rocky path.
The driver could still maintain calm, confidence, and smooth control while not sacrificing comfort.
4. Powerful Weapon for Flash Floods in the Capital
The Jaecoo J8 offers a ground clearance of 170 mm, which is relatively standard compared to other off-road SUVs.
However, with the ability to wade through water up to 450 mm deep, it is a highly beneficial feature for Malaysians occasionally facing flash floods in the capital.
Or perhaps when navigating rural backroads to complete tasks.
Or if you occasionally want to unwind in a camping area that is generally far from major road access, where the road surfaces are not always pleasant.
Conclusion
You no longer need to spend RM400k-RM500k to enjoy an exhilarating off-road experience.
With a budget starting from just RM198,800 for the AWD version, you can experience a stylish and comfortable premium urban SUV, while also having the confidence to conquer all kinds of terrains.
