Why the Global Success of OMODA & JAECOO is a Win for South African Drivers

Hello everyone! It’s Lesedi Macebele here. I am absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news that highlights why I am so proud to represent these brands. The Chery Holding Group has officially entered the prestigious 2024 Fortune Global 500 list, ranking at an impressive 385th position. This massive milestone is largely thanks to the explosive growth of Brand O&J—comprising OMODA and JAECOO—which contributed a staggering 20.8% to the group’s total export volume. With over 280 000 units sold globally, they have earned the title of the fastest-growing automotive brand in the world. What does this mean for us in South Africa? It means we are backing a global powerhouse. Locally, we have seen the OMODA C5 capture hearts, recording nearly 17 000 sales since its launch. This success is only set to climb as the brand expands its local line-up. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the premium OMODA C9 flagship, along with the exciting JAECOO plug-in hybrids and the fully electric J6. Even more exciting is that Brand O&J is testing upcoming models in extreme temperatures to ensure they are perfectly suited for our harsh South African climate. If you want to see what the hype is about, make sure to visit the Festival of Motoring at Kyalami this August, where the latest OMODA and JAECOO arrivals will be on display. For my community at 'drive with lesedi', this growth translates to more innovative, high-tech, and reliable vehicle options that offer incredible value in our local market. I am here to help you navigate these options and find the perfect fit for your lifestyle. Ready to get behind the wheel of a global success story?
