Global automotive brands OMODA and JAECOO have announced that their first vehicles in the Philippines, the OMODA C5 and E5, will be available for sale this month at dealerships in Metro Manila and Cebu. The inaugural OMODA and JAECOO showrooms are located on Marcos Highway, Pasig City, and at G-Mall, Cebu City.
The rising global automotive brands identified 2024 as their foundational year in the Philippine market. Key milestones for the year include the arrival of their initial vehicle models and the establishment of partnerships with organizations such as BDO, Security Bank, Bank of China, ICBC, and DB Schenker. The OMODA C5 and E5, which arrived in the Philippines last August, were first introduced to the public during the brand’s participation in the 12th Philippine EV Summit and the Auto Focus Pre-Christmas Multibrand Test Drive Festival.
“The strides we made this year lay the groundwork for our plans in 2025. We are excited to finally see our first models hit Philippine roads and for Filipinos to experience our unique automotive engineering DNA,” said Abner Berdos, Vice President of OMODA and JAECOO Motor Philippines, during the brand’s exclusive media thanksgiving dinner held on December 11 in Quezon City.
The OMODA C5 is the brand’s first innovation and its debut model in the Philippines. Built with OMODA’s “Cross F Future” design philosophy, the C5 features advanced technologies, including a Smart Key with Remote Engine Start and a Voice Control Command System. It is available in three variants, all priced under PHP 1.3 million:
– Premium Variant: ₱1,279,000.00
– Comfort Variant: ₱1,159,000.00
– Lifestyle Variant: ₱998,000.00
The OMODA E5, the brand’s first fully electric vehicle, offers a WLTP-rated range of 430 km and fast-charging capabilities, allowing it to recharge from 30% to 80% in just 28 minutes. The E5 is available in two variants, with the Comfort variant including a complimentary 7kW wall charger. Both are priced under PHP 1.7 million:
– Premium Variant: ₱1,699,000.00
– Comfort Variant: ₱1,649,000.00
OMODA and JAECOO are also offering buyers a bumper-to-bumper warranty of up to 84 months or 200,000 km (10 years or 1 million km for the internal combustion engine) and 60 months or 160,000 km for electric motors and batteries.
Building on the progress of 2024, OMODA and JAECOO Philippines are preparing for an impactful 2025, with several announcements planned for the first quarter. The brands are set to unveil new models featuring advanced technologies and innovative features at the Manila International Auto Show in April 2025.
One of the highlights of 2025 will be the launch of the JAECOO EJ6, which made its debut at the 12th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit in October. Designed with premium off-road engineering DNA, the EJ6 is poised to lead the off-road-capable EV trend in the Philippines. It features a cutting-edge six-in-one motor system and full-time electric four-wheel drive, delivering exceptional power and off-road performance. The EJ6 also includes an innovative camping mode and a spacious design, catering to adventurous lifestyles.
“The support and warm welcome we received make 2024 truly a foundational year for OMODA and JAECOO. The milestones we achieved serve as a solid springboard for us to boldly enter 2025. In addition to officially launching our models, we are excited to introduce more automotive innovations built with our unique engineering DNA,” said Terry Hu, Country Director of OMODA and JAECOO Motor Philippines.
