A three-year-old company, Omoda & Jaecoo, has set itself the goal of selling more than a million cars a year by 2027.
In the last three years, Omoda & Jaecoo has been able to sell 1 million cars worldwide but now they want it to take years.
In South Africa, Jaecoo unveiled the J7 SUV and Omoda introduced the C5.
The CEO of Omoda & Jaecoo International, Shawn Xu, speaking at the Chery International Business Summit, in Wuhu, China this week, said that in the last three years they have been able to open 1,364 garages in 69 countries.
They are determined to continue growing, which is why they are challenging themselves to sell 1 million cars a year.
In the next three years, Omoda & Jaecoo will launch 13 new cars around the world, according to the CEO of Chery International, Zhang Guibing.
Omoda & Jaecoo is one of Chery’s subsidiaries.
In South Africa, the Jaecoo family is expected to expand with the J5 hybrid, or SHS according to the language they use.
The J5 currently available in the local market is not a double-minded as it only runs on a 1.5 liter turbo petrol engine with a power of 115kW.
Jaecoo boasted about the fuel savings of the J5 SHS after journalists from nine countries competed to see who would save the most fuel in China.
Those from South Africa came in third, traveling 625km, showing that it consumes 3.7l/100km. For the winners it consumed 3.4l/100km.
This car is expected to arrive in the country in July. They say that it consumes 5.3 liters of petrol per 100km.
Among its features are a large touchscreen infotainment system inside, a host of driver and safety features, leather seats and more. We will report the full details and price when it arrives.
Another possibility is the J8 SHS plug-in hybrid. It is a large SUV that accommodates seven passengers sitting on leather seats.
The driver’s seat felt very comfortable and I loved it. In the end, however, we liked to be tougher.
In this moment I found myself in it felt very comfortable.
It has a sunroof, large touchscreen infotainment system, 10 airbags and driver aids.
It has a 1.5 liter turbo petrol engine that works with three electric motors as the power goes to all the wheels.
Power is 395kW and torque is 650Nm. They say that if the 70 liter petrol tank and the 34.46kWh battery are full, you can travel 1,400km.
