OMODA & JAECOO is a young brand in the Chery portfolio, but it has been remarkably well accepted in many markets, including Malaysia. In its first year in the local market, it delivered 7,040 SUVs, and then accelerated to 17,849 units in 2025, among the strongest growing brands during the year.
“Our strong growth in 2025 is a clear signal that OMODA & JAECOO has moved beyond being a newcomer to become a preferred choice for Malaysian drivers,” said Men Lin Bo, Executive Vice-President of Chery Corporate Malaysia. “As we head into 2026, our focus is on solidifying our presence as a local automotive mainstay. We are committed to growing alongside Malaysia, ensuring that our global innovation is paired with a service and dealer network that truly understands the needs of our local community.”

Coming soon – the J5
Soon, the range will be joined by the smaller J5 which was previewed last year. The J5, similar in size to a Proton X50, does not have an electrified powertrain. It is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with the latest-generation intake integrated intercooling and integrated exhaust manifold cylinder head technologies. The output of 147 ps/210 Nm goes to the front wheels via a CVT. Bookings for the J5, which has an estimated price of RM120,000, are now accepted at O & J dealers.
“The upcoming J5 represents our commitment to diversifying our line-up, offering a vehicle that is not only technologically advanced but also thoughtfully designed to complement the vibrant, tech-driven lifestyles of our customers,” said Chris Tan, Senior Director, Head of OMODA & JAECOO Malaysia. “By combining an advanced infotainment system, best-in-class safety features, generous cabin space, and lifestyle-oriented innovations such as a pet-friendly cabin and karaoke mode, the J5 sets a new benchmark for what a premium B-segment SUV can deliver.”
