KUALA LUMPUR, October 7, 2025 — OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia has achieved a significant milestone with the delivery of its 20,000th vehicle, just 14 months after the brand’s debut in Malaysia in July 2024.
This achievement highlights the brand’s rapid momentum and the strong trust of customers in Malaysia. The global export strategy of its parent company, the Chery Group, which is driven by the core goal of offering segment-defining vehicles and exceptional customer experiences, also contributed to this success.
OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia Acting Sales Director, Clement Yeo, said, “Reaching 20,000 registrations in just over a year is truly a proud moment for us and a testament to the confidence Malaysian customers have placed in OMODA | JAECOO. This milestone is also part of the wider achievement of the Chery Group, which has surpassed 5 million vehicles sold in export markets, with more than 600,000 units contributed by OMODA | JAECOO vehicles.”
“Through our network of dealer partners, we remain committed to delighting Malaysian customers with an exceptional portfolio that combines advanced technology, such as the Super Hybrid System, with comfort, safety, and premium design,” he added.
The 20,000th vehicle handover was marked by an exclusive owner celebration themed ‘20,000 and Beyond: A Celebration of Trust’ held at Blossom Glass Mansion, Kuala Lumpur. Over 100 guests attended the event, which featured the handover of a JAECOO J7 PHEV to its new owner, Khirdzir Ali.
As the 20,000th customer, Khirdzir shared his excitement about joining the OMODA | JAECOO community: “I believe the J7 PHEV SUV offers great value for money compared to other cars in the same price range and segment.”
An clearly excited Khirdzir added, “I’m truly honored to be part of this incredible milestone of 20,000 OMODA | JAECOO vehicles on the road in Malaysia. It’s inspiring to see how quickly the brand has grown and how strongly it resonates with Malaysian drivers.”
Looking forward, he is keen to enjoy the comfort and efficiency of his new J7 PHEV with his family. “The impressive fuel efficiency is a great practical advantage and helps reduce my daily driving running costs,” he added.
Establishing a reputation as Malaysia’s premium challenger SUV brand, OMODA | JAECOO reached this milestone supported by the strong performance of its four core models: the JAECOO J7, JAECOO J7 PHEV, OMODA C9, and JAECOO J8. This is further bolstered by a strategic dealer network of close to 50 locations nationwide, a dedicated parts warehouse, and local assembly operations in Shah Alam.
This achievement also solidifies the brand’s position among the top five automotive brands in the first half of 2025 (1H 2025).
The success of OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia mirrors the broader strategy of the Chery Group. Earlier this year, Chery became the first Chinese carmaker to export over 5 million vehicles, maintaining its leading position in passenger car exports for 22 consecutive years.
In July 2025, the Chery Group achieved a historic ‘Double 500’ milestone, rising to 233rd place in the Fortune Global 500 list and 59th position in the Fortune China 500, the fastest leap in the industry.
A key driver of the Chery Group’s global growth is its powertrain strategy, particularly New Energy Vehicles (NEV). In the first half of 2025, NEVs accounted for 40% of the Group’s total exports.
This strategy is powered by the OMODA | JAECOO Super Hybrid System (SHS), which is currently featured in the JAECOO J7 PHEV SUV. The SHS architecture pairs a 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine (141 hp/215 Nm) with an electric motor (204 PS/310 Nm), a dedicated hybrid transmission, and an 18.3 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery.
The J7 PHEV boasts a pure electric driving range of nearly 100 km and a combined range of over 1,300 km (NEDC), while achieving a fuel consumption rate as low as 4.77 liters/100 km, making it ideal for both city driving and long-distance travel.
In conjunction with this milestone, OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia is extending its exclusive ownership offers. Every new purchase of a JAECOO J7 PHEV now comes with seven (7) years of complimentary service or a RM 5,000 reward until December 31, 2025.
Meanwhile, attractive financing and service packages are also available for models such as the J7 2WD, J7 AWD, C9 2WD, and C9 AWD. Customers can contact their nearest authorized dealer for further details, with the promotion running from October 1 to December 31, 2025.
The celebration event also showcased the upcoming JAECOO J5 and invited owners to participate in family-friendly activities, including lacquer fan workshops, caricature sessions with OMODA | JAECOO models, and a lucky draw.
Also present at the event was proud owner Irene Tee, who showcased her J7 AWD, which has clocked over 70,000 km in less than a year. At more than three times the average annual mileage, her vehicle demonstrates the robust quality and durability of OMODA | JAECOO vehicles.
Meanwhile, an online social media contest was also held in conjunction with the event, inviting all OMODA | JAECOO owners to share their stories and showcase their experiences to a wider audience. Through initiatives like this, OMODA | JAECOO Malaysia aims to continue growing its vibrant owner community and social platform, building stronger connections among customers nationwide.
