Chinese cars, or more precisely, Chinese SUVs, are now a reality in Spain. Beyond MG and BYD, another notable player is the Chery Group’s brands in Spain: OMODA and JAECO, with Lepas having joined them recently.
OMODA and JAECO have achieved 91% higher sales compared to last September 2025. These brands, which arrived in Spain just over two years ago in February 2024, have already sold 62,000 units of their SUV lineup, setting several new records in the process.
91% More Sales Thanks to Hybrids, PHEVs, and Electric Vehicles
The OMODA and JAECOO phenomenon can be attributed to three key factors: first, they sell only SUVs—the most sought-after segment in Spain; second, their excellent quality-performance-price ratio; and third, their strong focus on electrifying their SUV models.
In fact, last September, as much as 98% of their sales were hybrid SUVs—such as the JAECOO 5 SHS that we tested—or plug-in hybrids or electric vehicles like the OMODA 5 EV, which we also drove. Specifically, hybrids accounted for 52.5% of their sales, followed by plug-in hybrids at 39%, with electric vehicles making up 6.6% of total sales.
The results were immediate. Last September, their total sales of -4,010 units increased by a remarkable 91% compared to the same month last year. They could even see further growth in the future, as the OMODA 5 SHS is the only hybrid that can compete with Toyota among the best-selling HEVs in Spain.
New Records for OMODA and JAECOO in Spain
This significant sales surge in our country has led to new records for OMODA and JAECOO as Chinese manufacturers. In September alone, they registered up to 3,161 SUVs for private customers, accounting for a 6.1% share of the private market in Spain for both brands.
In addition, OMODA and JAECOO together were also the 5th best-selling brand in this specific market within our country last September. And note that the gap with the 2nd best-selling brand was only 92 cars. Either way, these two achievements already represent two new records... but there’s more to come.
In fact, together OMODA and JAECOO have established themselves as the best-selling brand, both in September and so far this year, in the C SUV and D SUV segments, where they compete with other manufacturers in Spain.
In fact, this September is already the third-best month in terms of sales in OMODA and JAECOO’s history in our country. May and June this year also saw sales exceeding 4,000 units.
