Chinese Onslaught: More Chinese Cars Coming This Year

Omoda and Jaecoo are set to expand their vehicle lineups in South Africa over the next year. The introductions will include new SUVs from both brands, featuring hybrid and fully electric powertrains.

From the Jaecoo brand, the J5 compact SUV is scheduled to arrive in the third quarter of 2025. It will be equipped with a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine and its interior will feature a large touchscreen interface. Following this, the Jaecoo J6, an all-electric off-roader, is planned for a South African launch in the second half of 2025. The J6 will be offered with various battery options, providing a maximum range of up to 500km.

Omoda will introduce the C5 HEV, a hybrid electric version of its existing C5 model. This variant will provide a more fuel-efficient option for buyers. Additionally, Omoda plans to launch the C7, a larger SUV positioned above the C5. The C7 is slated for release in the second half of 2025 and will be available with both a conventional internal combustion engine and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain.

This expansion will increase the number of models available from the two brands and introduce new energy vehicle options to the South African market.
