This dual honor for both “product + brand” not only affirms the quality of the Jaecoo model but also demonstrates Omoda and Jaecoo’s brand influence and user acceptance in the Middle East market.

The National Auto Award of Saudi Arabia is a highly influential automotive industry event in the Middle East. Recognized for its professional judging standards, extensive market research, and deep insight into consumer needs, it has become an authoritative benchmark for measuring automotive product strength and brand value. The 2025 awards focused on multiple dimensions including product performance, market reputation, and brand influence, to recognize outstanding automotive brands and models in the Kingdom and Middle East markets.

To protect user rights, Jaecoo J8 offers a six-year or 250,000-km vehicle warranty, highlighting the brand’s long-term commitment to quality.

Empowering Future Mobility

Based on the growing demand for new energy in the market, Jaecoo plans to launch the J8 SHS (super hybrid) model in January 2026. Utilizing globally leading super hybrid technology, this will further solidify the brand’s position in the new energy sector. Meanwhile, the remarkable performance of its flagship models instills confidence in the brand’s consistent reliability and high standards.

Deepening Localization

Omoda and Jaecoo have performed notably in European and Middle Eastern markets in recent years. By 2025, the brand achieved a milestone of over 5,000 monthly sales in the UK market and became one of the fastest-growing automotive brands in Europe, thanks to its super hybrid technology. Meanwhile, it officially entered the Saudi market in 2024, establishing a Middle East storage center covering over 12,000 square meters and a 2,000-square-meter local warehouse in Dammam, stocking over 2,000 types of spare parts to ensure efficient supply chain and user service experience.

Regarding warranty policies, the brand shows great sincerity. It provides 10 years on both engine and gearbox on selected models. The three-electric system for SHS series models enjoys an exclusive eight-year warranty service, fully demonstrating the brand’s firm confidence in product quality. From product to service, Omoda and Jaecoo, through global layout and localized operations, continuously create mobility value that exceeds expectations for global users.

This dual recognition marks a significant milestone for the Jaecoo brand in deepening its presence in the Middle East market. The upcoming launch of the J8 SHS super hybrid model will further drive the brand’s breakthrough in the new energy off-road segment.

Omoda and Jaecoo’s brand vision aims to “co-create a beautiful life with young people.” Omoda focuses on building the world’s most professional crossover brand, while Jaecoo adheres to “from the classic and beyond the classic,” positioning itself as the world’s premier refined off-road brand. In the new energy field, leveraging the globally leading SHS technology, Omoda and Jaecoo take the hybrid mindset NEV as the core, integrating advantages of super performance, super range, ultra-low energy consumption, and super safety. While providing efficient new energy solutions for global users, they are steadily advancing toward the goal of becoming an elegant global off-road brand.

Furthermore, Omoda and Jaecoo are extending technological innovation into the realm of smart technology. Their jointly developed Mojia Robot with the AiMOGA team has become a typical practice in the intelligent transformation of automotive companies, further broadening the brand’s value boundaries. The OMODA C7 model will launch in Saudi Arabia early next year, further expanding the brand’s footprint in the Middle East market.
