Massive Media: OMODA&JAECOO, one of the world's fastest-growing smart mobility and technology brands, has made a bold statement in the UAE by taking over Dubai International Airport — one of the busiest and most luxurious air hubs globally — with a premium branding and advertising campaign. The campaign marks a major milestone in the company's rapid international expansion and underlines its strategic commitment to the UAE and wider Middle East region. In just two years, OMODA&JAECOO has entered 41 global markets and surpassed 540,000 units in cumulative sales, positioning itself as the fastest-growing new auto player in the world. The brand's latest move in Dubai demonstrates its ambition to engage with high-value international audiences, business travellers, and local consumers in one of the world's most influential transit locations. Iconic Visibility at Dubai International Airport With its brand name now prominently displayed across key touchpoints in Dubai International Airport — from digital billboards to premium signage — OMODA&JAECOO is capitalizing on the airport's unparalleled footfall and prestige. This visual takeover not only elevates brand visibility but reinforces its image as a premium, forward-looking automotive innovator. Dubai International Airport, known as a global gateway for luxury and innovation, provides the ideal platform for OMODA&JAECOO to connect with trend-conscious, tech-savvy, and high-net-worth individuals. Strengthening Presence in the UAE and Middle East OMODA & JAECOO's participation at DXB is a key milestone in the brand's strategic expansion across the Middle East.

This strong foundation allows the brand to tailor its products and services to the unique needs of regional customers, providing them with a personalized and enhanced ownership experience. 'We're excited to see our footprint in the UAE grow, with showrooms already established in Deira Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, and the recently opened location in Fujairah. With further expansions underway, we look forward to opening new showrooms in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi later this year, underscoring our long-term commitment to the market,' said Shawn Xu, Chief Executive Officer of OMODA & JAECOO Automobile International. 'To better serve our customers, we've also launched a state-of-the-art, 12,000 sqm integrated spare parts centre— the largest of its kind among Chinese auto brands in the region. This facility ensures a 100% parts fulfilment rate and a 24-hour supply of urgent components (VOR), significantly enhancing the quality of our after-sales service.' Driving Innovation and Lifestyle Transformation As part of its UAE growth strategy, OMODA&JAECOO is preparing to introduce its new JAECOO J5 — a premium outdoor light off-road SUV designed for both adventure seekers and pet-friendly lifestyles. Alongside the J5, the upcoming launch of the OMODA C7, a next-generation NEOCrossover, is expected to further strengthen the brand's appeal among the UAE's young, urban, and environmentally aware consumers. A Born-Global Brand with UAE at Its Core 'Dubai and the UAE represent the future of mobility — innovative, premium, and connected,' said Shawn Xu. 'Our brand campaign at Dubai International Airport isn't just about visibility. It's about aligning with the UAE's forward-thinking vision and delivering high-value experiences for the region's most discerning drivers.' With more than 300 showrooms across Europe, a record 370% year-on-year growth in NEV sales, and a rapid expansion into Latin America and Asia, OMODA&JAECOO is not just building a global footprint — it's setting new benchmarks for speed, scale, and strategic market engagement.

New Jaecoo J5 landing in South Africa soon - here's what to expect
The J5 shares a strong family resemblance with its larger J7 sibling. Image: Supplied The new Jaecoo J5 is set to reach South African shores during the third quarter of this year, Omoda & Jaecoo SA has confirmed. The company says the newcomer will bring the Jaecoo brand within reach of South Africans seeking a 'premium SUV experience' at a more accessible price point. The new J5 bears a strong resemblance to its larger J7 sibling, which itself has been praised for its elegant exterior lines, which many have equated to Range Rover models such as the Velar. Pricing has yet to be divulged, but we do know that it will slot beneath the J7, which currently starts at R549,900. Given that the similarly-sized and technically related Chery Tiggo Cross sells for between R399,900 and R449,900, it's likely that the majority of the J5 line-up will fall beneath the R500,000 mark. Jaecoo has confirmed that local J5 models will be powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that delivers 115kW and 230Nm. Smooth lines define the new J5. Image: Supplied It will be paired with a CVT gearbox and the vehicle will have various selectable drive modes, including 'Normal', 'Eco' and 'Sport'. While in some overseas markets the J5 is offered with the J7's 1.6-litre turbopetrol engine, this is not known to be in the pipeline for South Africa, likely for cost reasons. ALSO READ: Omoda & Jaecoo confirm six new models for SA The local range is however, expected to grow to include plug-in hybrid and fully electric variants at a later stage. The interior boasts a best-in-class 13.2-inch vertical touchscreen with smart navigation, and wireless charging, while the optional panoramic sunroof is said to be the largest in the segment. Detailed local specifications have yet to be released, but O&J SA says it will be offered with options such as ventilated leather seats, automatic climate control and ambient lighting. Driver-assist features include adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection, among others. 'With its advanced safety features, versatility, and refined interior, the new J5 is designed to meet the needs of modern South Africans who want more from their daily drive,' said O&J SA's brand and marketing manager Shannon Gahagan. An interesting fact about the J5 is that it was purpose-designed for pet lovers. Its specially extended seats were designed with pets in mind, while the air conditioning system has a powerful filtration system that can isolate pet hair. Overseas, it is also offered with specially designed boarding steps and a pet feeding system, although it's not clear whether these features will be offered locally. South African details, including pricing, will be released closer to launch. IOL

Jaecoo J5 penned-in for third quarter South African market debut
Initial powertrain will be the familiar 1.5 T-GDI connected to a CVT rather than the 1.6 T-GDI and dual-clutch combo. A plug-in hybrid will, however, arrive at a later stage.

Approved options will include ventilated front seats, leather upholstery and dual-zone climate control.
