Throughout 2026, Omoda and Jaecoo continued to roll out new hybrid and electric models across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, reinforcing Chery Group’s strategy of intelligent engineering and AI-enabled vehicles. Following various market entries in Lithuania, Vietnam, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece, Thailand, the UK, Germany, Malaysia, Spain, and Romania, the brands expanded their global footprint with models like the Omoda O4 and Jaecoo J8. In mid-2026, real-world testing at the Millbrook Proving Ground demonstrated that Jaecoo and Omoda plug-in hybrids could exceed official WLTP range claims. Expanding this electrified lineup, Jaecoo introduced the Jaecoo 7 SHS, a plug-in hybrid SUV utilizing Chery’s Super Hybrid System (SHS) architecture. The model features a 1.5T GDI DHE gasoline engine and an 18.3 kWh battery pack, offering a total range of up to 1,200 km and a 0.7 liters per 100 km consumption rate in the combined WLTP cycle. It also includes a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) bidirectional charging function.

Regional growth accelerated in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, the Jaecoo J5 EV reached a milestone of 20,186 cumulative sales from January to July 2026. By August 2026, the Jaecoo J5 emerged as the market leader in Indonesia’s rapidly growing BEV sector, with 23,359 units distributed during the January-August period. Meanwhile, Omoda & Jaecoo Vietnam transitioned to domestic production at its Hung Yen factory. In late August 2026, the Jaecoo 7 launched in Finland via importer RSA Suomi. In September 2026, Jaecoo expanded its Australian offerings with the Jaecoo J7 PHEV AWD, a model producing 354 hp and 490 Nm of torque. Simultaneously, Omoda | Jaecoo launched the Jaecoo J5 EV in Malaysia, a locally assembled B-segment SUV featuring a 58.9-kWh LFP battery and a WLTP range of up to 402 km.
