OMODA & JAECOO has delivered an impressive performance in the United Kingdom, one of the world’s most competitive automotive markets, achieving rapid growth in record time.
In January 2026, the brand made headlines as the JAECOO 7 recorded 3,842 unit sales in a single month, securing second place in overall UK vehicle sales. The model outperformed well-established names such as the Ford Puma, Nissan Qashqai, and Volkswagen Tiguan, along with newer competitors like the BYD Seal U. This is a rare achievement in a market traditionally dominated by long-standing automotive brands.
Across its full lineup, OMODA & JAECOO achieved total monthly sales of 6,550 units, ranking 8th overall in the UK’s monthly brand standings. The brand finished close behind premium manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz. It also emerged as the top-selling Chinese automotive brand in the UK, surpassing MG and BYD, while outperforming several Japanese and South Korean competitors.
Since entering the UK market in September 2024, OMODA & JAECOO has shown remarkable momentum. Within just 17 months, the company moved from a new entrant to a strong mainstream competitor. By September 2025, its monthly sales crossed 10,000 units. In October 2025, it overtook MG to become the leading Chinese automotive brand in the UK for the first time.
For the full year 2025, the brand recorded total sales of 48,087 units, securing a 2.38 percent market share. This performance placed it ahead of globally recognized brands such as Tesla and MINI. Industry observers noted that while brands like Kia and MG took decades to build similar market positions in the UK, OMODA & JAECOO achieved comparable results in less than a year.
The company credits its growth to a clear global strategy. OMODA positions itself as a modern crossover brand, combining stylish design with advanced technology. JAECOO focuses on strong off-road capability and hybrid innovation, offering vehicles built for performance and reliability.
The UK market is known for strict regulations, informed buyers, and intense competition. OMODA & JAECOO’s rapid rise in such an environment signals growing consumer trust and acceptance. As buyers increasingly focus on performance, value, and technology rather than brand legacy alone, the company’s strong results in the UK highlight its expanding global presence.
