About
Omoda is one of two export badges Chery created to carry its international expansion, established in Wuhu, Anhui in 2022 and paired from 2023 with sister brand Jaecoo. Neither badge is sold in China: the cars behind them reach the domestic market as Chery models, so the Omoda 7 is the Chery Tiggo 7L at home and the Omoda badge exists only for buyers abroad.
The split between the two brands is one of styling and positioning rather than engineering. Omoda takes the smoother, road-oriented crossovers, Jaecoo the upright, off-road-styled SUVs, and both draw on the same Chery platforms and the same Super Hybrid System petrol-electric hardware. They are sold through a single commercial organisation, usually written O&J, which shares importers and dealer networks in most markets.
The lineup is numbered by size, from the subcompact 4 through the 5 and the mid-size 7 to the three-row 9, with powertrain choice varying by market: petrol and plug-in hybrid in the UK, full-electric versions in parts of Europe. Growth has been quickest in Europe and the UK, where Omoda arrived in 2024 and where carwow’s 2026 survey put UK awareness of the brand at 57%, up from 42% a year earlier.
