An exciting modern automotive brand, JAECOO is making waves in the UK car industry. It might be rare that the launch of a new car make is received with such intrigue and enthusiasm, but with JAECOO’s range of capable contemporary SUVs, it’s with good reason. So let’s find out more about the brand, beyond the iconic shape and design of the exteriors.
JAECOO is owned by Chery Automotive, a big player in Asian markets and one of the world’s largest automotive exporters. Along with the sister brand, OMODA, the new marques are looking to make an impact in Europe, backed by a company with extensive automotive experience.
Of the two new challenger brands, JAECOO is the more rugged. While its SUVs are more than capable of tackling rougher terrain, the models also boast contemporary looks and innovative technology. What they’ve done excellently is respond to evolving consumer trends, not just seeing cars as a means of transport but as symbols of lifestyles and aspirations. So the range of cars delivers plenty of capability, lots of style and technological connectivity, but without the prices associated with luxury brands. And drivers are responding well, with both JAECOO and OMODA strategically outpacing many established names.
Serving as the brand's flagship model, this mid-size SUV is available with a powerful 1.6l turbocharged petrol engine or with next generation hybrid technology, the SHS (Super Hybrid System), offering a range of 700 miles. It has 2WD and all-wheel drive (AWD) capabilities.
The more compact offering, the JAECOO 5 appeals to a wide range of drivers and is also available with turbocharged petrol engine or as a fully electric vehicle with a range of 248 miles and powerful 155 kW motor.
Expanding beyond its primary markets in China and Southeast Asia, JAECOO is working with established dealer networks and new partnerships in the UK.
Waylands are excited to work with such a fast-growing brand and offer new and used JAECOO cars from our dedicated Bristol dealership. With the parent company’s commitment to vehicles that balance capability, technology, and value, all with a bit of iconic styling, it’s a good time to come and take a test drive to see for yourself what this new name delivers.
For us, in the competitive SUV landscape, JAECOO stands out as an exciting new choice with modern design thinking for drivers seeking adventure-ready vehicles without premium pricing, backed by reliable and proven manufacturing expertise.
JAECOO’s determination to stand out and set a new standard for urban off-road SUVs is evident even from its unusual name. A blend created from the German word 'Jaeger', meaning 'hunter', and the English word, 'cool'.
But beyond the name, JAECOO (and OMODA) are committed to mechanical reliability, customer satisfaction and long-term value. This is showcased by all models coming with a seven-year/100,000-mile manufacturer’s warranty – a great reason to consider them over more mainstream brands. They offer free roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty (in a partnership with the RAC and so long as regular servicing is maintained at authorised centres).
JAECOO vehicles are primarily manufactured in Wuhu, China, but Chery Automotive has numerous factories worldwide including destinations in Malaysia, other Southeast Asia locations, and across the globe.
But as part of Chery’s commitment to delivering a superior driving experience, both JAECOO and OMODA cars are tested and finetuned at the European R&D centre in Raunheim, near Frankfurt, Germany. What that means is they’re optimised for the unique driving conditions we experience in the UK.
If you have any further questions about JAECOO, its cars and their capabilities, please get in touch with our team or visit the Bristol showroom. It’s open seven days a week, meaning that you can test drive and browse at your convenience. Plus, as a JAECOO main dealer, we offer great promotions directly from the manufacturer.
