Global automotive powerhouse OMODA & JAECOO has officially launched in the Philippines, bringing its signature blend of cutting-edge design, innovation, and performance to Filipino motorists. The highly anticipated launch event on February 18 at the BGC Arts Center set the stage for a bold new era in mobility, unveiling the brand’s first models: the OMODA C5, OMODA E5, and JAECOO EJ6.

This isn’t just another car brand entering the market — OMODA & JAECOO is here to redefine the driving experience for young trailblazers and urban explorers, offering a mix of futuristic aesthetics, high-performance engineering, and eco-friendly mobility solutions.

A Year in the Making: Paving the Road to Innovation

Before its grand launch, OMODA & JAECOO made waves across the Philippine auto scene throughout 2024, showcasing its groundbreaking vehicles at the Manila International Auto Show, the 12th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit, and the Auto Focus Pre-Christmas Multi-Brand Test Drive Festival. The brand also made its presence felt in some of the country’s biggest malls and established a nationwide dealer network, teaming up with key local bank and logistics partners. The February 18 launch was the culmination of this momentum, signaling the official start of OMODA & JAECOO’s journey on Philippine roads.

“The Philippines is the fifth Southeast Asian market to welcome OMODA & JAECOO, and we couldn’t be more thrilled,” says OMODA & JAECOO Motor Philippines, Inc. “Since first entering the market in 2023, we’ve seen a strong demand for vehicles that combine sleek style with smart technology. Now, Filipino drivers can finally get behind the wheel of our models, designed for both city streets and adventure trails.”

OMODA Brings Art in Motion to the Philippines

True to its Art in Motion philosophy, OMODA’s vehicles are designed for forward-thinking drivers who value style, performance, and innovation. The OMODA C5, a sleek crossover, embodies the brand’s futuristic ‘Cross F Future’ design, blending sharp aesthetics with cutting-edge tech. Meanwhile, the OMODA E5 marks a major leap toward sustainable mobility, being the brand’s first fully electric vehicle in the country.

Recognizing the overwhelming interest in these models even before the official launch, OMODA announced special promo prices to make its game-changing vehicles even more accessible to Filipino motorists.

This, combined with JAECOO’s fun and good-looking designs, ensures a super driving experience for all Filipino urban elites.

Leading the charge is the JAECOO EJ6, an all-electric SUV that tackles any terrain — from steep mountain slopes to rough forest trails — with ease. At the launch, JAECOO officially revealed the EJ6’s pricing and color options, allowing Filipino drivers to take their pick among green, black, white, and gray finishes.

The JAECOO EJ6’s prices are:

Adding to the excitement, JAECOO also previewed its upcoming hybrid SUV, the J7 SHS, set to hit local dealerships soon. Engineered with a Super Hybrid System, the J7 SHS boasts extended range, reduced emissions, and top-tier battery safety — giving Filipino drivers a powerful yet eco-friendly ride.

Beyond Cars: A Lifestyle Statement

OMODA & JAECOO launched not just cars but a movement. At the grand unveiling, the vehicles took center stage, rolling down the runway like couture in an outdoor fashion show. This showcased how each model is more than just a car — it’s a statement piece for the modern, stylish, and trend-savvy Filipino driver.

The event also featured a camping activation, where the JAECOO EJ6 was placed in a rugged, adventure-inspired setup, emphasizing its unparalleled off-road capabilities. To cap off the night, a Light Up Ceremony wowed the crowd as the EJ6 powered up a dazzling light show, proving that OMODA & JAECOO vehicles are built to do the unimaginable.

With its official launch, OMODA & JAECOO is set to carve its name in the Philippine automotive industry, offering next-level mobility for a new generation of drivers. Ready to take one for a spin?
