Introduction: A Long-Awaited Arrival
The anticipation is finally over for Filipino car enthusiasts as Omoda and Jaecoo, two emerging players in the automotive sector, have made their official debut in the Philippines during a glamorous event held in Manila last week. Their entrance signifies a significant milestone after two years of market teasers and brand promotions.
The Build-Up to Launch
The buildup to this launch has been extensive, with Omoda and Jaecoo making appearances at key events such as the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) and various electric vehicle summits. Despite not officially launching, they engaged potential customers by offering test drives at notable festivals across the nation.
To cultivate curiosity, they utilized unconventional marketing strategies—transporting vehicles under cover of night to spark intrigue among fans. Additionally, they secured vital partnerships with local banks for financing options while quietly forming a dealer network throughout the country. The official unveiling on February 18 was met with palpable excitement.
Artistic Expression Through Automotive Innovation
The launch event highlighted Omoda’s core commitment to design elegance paired with advanced technology across its range of automobiles—spanning combustion engines (ICE), fully electric vehicles (EV), and hybrid models.
Among the highlights was the introduction of the Omoda C5 crossover available in both ICE and electric formats—a testament to their “Art in Motion” vision that champions creativity alongside innovation. Furthermore, attendees witnessed the unveiling of Omoda’s E5 crossover focused on sustainability. Meanwhile, adventurers can anticipate Jaecoo’s rugged EJ6 SUV designed for off-road experiences.
Marco Chen, Country Head of O&J Philippines expressed enthusiasm about entering their fifth SE Asian market after successful ventures in Malaysia and Indonesia: “We are pleased our journey has brought us here.”
He further noted heightened local interest since their initial entry into Southeast Asia this year: “Filipino consumers desire sleekness combined with intelligent technology.” To celebrate this newfound engagement, Shawn Xu—the CEO—announced special offers on both C5 and E5 models until June 30th.
In keeping with their tradition of keeping consumers intrigued about future releases, Jaecoo hinted at an upcoming hybrid SUV—the J7 SHS—which touts a Super Hybrid System aimed at superior efficiency while maintaining strong environmental standards.
Lifestyle Integration into Brand Identity
The launch concurrently served as an opportunity not just to showcase vehicles but also emphasize lifestyle connections associated with these brands through engaging displays emphasizing modernity tailored for today’s Filipino drivers. An interactive camping zone showcased EJ6 capabilities firsthand along with captivating light spectacles displaying vehicle features powered by its own energy system.
