OMODA & JAECOO South Africa accelerates growth with record-breaking sales in 2025
OMODA & JAECOO South Africa has recorded outstanding year-on-year sales growth, underlining the brand’s rapid momentum and its ability to meet the evolving needs of a diverse customer base through an increasingly comprehensive SUV lineup.
Total annual sales climbed from 5,097 vehicles in 2024 to 12,597 units in 2025, representing a 147% year-on-year increase. “This growth reflects rising brand awareness, strong consumer confidence, and sustained demand across both the OMODA and JAECOO ranges,” commented Hans Greyling, General Manager for OMODA & JAECOO South Africa. “The addition of new models such as the J5 and C7 has further strengthened our offering, while the introduction of hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants has significantly broadened our appeal.”
Sales performance strengthened steadily over the period, increasing from 222 vehicles in January 2024 to 1,317 vehicles by December 2025. This consistent upward trend has been driven by the rollout of new models, the expansion of hybrid powertrains, and a product portfolio designed specifically to resonate with South African motorists.
Several models recorded particularly strong growth between 2024 and 2025:
The OMODA C5 continues to lead the portfolio as the brand’s best-selling model, with 11,738 units sold across 2024 and 2025, firmly establishing it as the cornerstone of the OMODA & JAECOO range. At the same time, newly launched models are delivering impressive early results. The JAECOO J5, introduced in August, achieved 1,062 sales in 2025, highlighting strong initial demand and a clear appetite for fresh offerings within the compact crossover segment.
Monthly sales performance further illustrates the strength of the brand, with November emerging as the strongest sales month in both 2024 and 2025.
Individual model highlights include:
“This performance reflects the strength of our product strategy and our commitment to offering vehicles that resonate with a wide variety of customers,” added Greyling “From our stylish urban SUVs such as the C5 and J5, to advanced plug-in hybrid options like the C9 SHS, our lineup is designed to meet the needs of today’s drivers, and the sales results clearly speak for themselves.”
With additional models and powertrain options planned for the future, including the upcoming C5 and J5 hybrid variants, OMODA & JAECOO expect this strong growth trajectory to continue, building on solid foundations and an expanding customer base.
JAECOO expands its South African J5 line-up with the new J5 SHS hybrid, combining strong performance, fuel efficiency and a theoretical range of up to 980 km.
