• OMODA & JAECOO South Africa has reached 20,857 total sales since launching locally in 2023.

• January 2026 delivered 1,418 sales, marking the strongest month on record for the brand.

• Plug-in hybrid momentum is accelerating, with 590 SHS units sold to date, including strong performance from the J7 SHS and C9 SHS.

OMODA & JAECOO South Africa is proud to announce a major milestone in its growth journey, having officially surpassed 20,000 total vehicle sales since launching in the local market in 2023. The brand has now achieved a cumulative sales figure of 20,857 units, underlining the rapid growth of OMODA & JAECOO in South Africa and reflecting strong consumer confidence, an expanding dealer footprint, and continued demand for its premium product offering.

This achievement is further strengthened by an outstanding start to 2026, with January 2026 recording 1,418 vehicle sales, making it the best-performing month ever recorded for the brand in South Africa. The record-breaking result represents a new benchmark for the automaker and reinforces its position as one of the fastest-growing automotive brands in the country.

Since entering the market, OMODA & JAECOO have demonstrated consistent and accelerating momentum. With 1,750 total sales recorded in 2023, followed by a significant increase to 5,094 sales in 2024, the brand’s growth surged to an impressive 12,597 annual sales in 2025. January 2026’s performance signals an even stronger year ahead, building on this upward trajectory and confirming sustained demand across the product range.

In addition to the record volume performance, the business has also noted growing market interest in electrified mobility. Plug-in hybrid sales continue to rise, with 590 SHS (Super Hybrid System) models already contributing to overall sales volumes. The J7 SHS, in particular, has shown strong momentum, with 317 units sold since its debut in June 2025. The C9 SHS, which carries a starting price of R999,900, has also performed exceptionally well, recording 218 units sold despite being the most premium offering in the OMODA & JAECOO lineup. Adding to this momentum, both the JAECOO J5 and OMODA C7 have seen a strong uptake in consumer interest and sales, reinforcing demand across the expanding model range. 

“This milestone is more than just a number. It represents the trust South African customers have placed in our brand,” commented Hans Greyling, General Manager for OMODA & JAECOO South Africa. “Reaching 20,857 sales in under three years, and recording our strongest month ever in January 2026, is a testament to the strength of our products, the commitment of our dealer partners, and the passion of our growing customer community.”

Looking ahead, OMODA & JAECOO anticipate sales momentum to continue building in the coming months, supported by the imminent arrival of the OMODA C5 Hybrid and JAECOO J5 Hybrid. Both models are set to further strengthen the brand’s electrified offering, bringing premium and practical hybrid motoring to South African consumers.

With a record-breaking start to the year and growing demand across both traditional and electrified powertrains, OMODA & JAECOO South Africa enters 2026 with confidence, committed to delivering innovative and premium vehicles to motorists nationwide.
