After a couple of previews over the past year, Omoda and Jaecoo have finally released their maiden vehicles for the Philippine market. Omoda took the first steps with two new compact SUVs while Jaecoo, on the other hand, has slated its introductory release for the first quarter of 2025.
Throughout the year, the pair has been working towards building infrastructure and creating a network to support its eventual releases. And that work seems to have paid off with Omoda and Jaecoo establishing partnerships with several local banks and erecting two dealers in key urban locations.

The gas-powered C5 starts at just P998,000, and comes standard with a ‘Voice-Control Command System.’ The electric E5 starts at P1,649,000 and that’ll get you about 430km in driving range.
