About
Jaecoo is a Chery Group brand built for export markets, established in April 2023 in Wuhu, Anhui, alongside sister brand Omoda. The name combines the German word “Jäger” (hunter) with “cool,” reflecting the brand’s off-road-styled positioning against Omoda’s more mainstream crossovers.
Both brands exist to carry Chery’s international expansion, and Jaecoo has grown quickly: in the UK, where it launched in 2025, it became one of the fastest-growing mainstream brands within two years, with the Jaecoo 7 reaching third place among all cars sold in the country by mid-2026.
