OJPH to launch Omoda 7

As the country waits for its earlier-announced models to become available in the local market, Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines (OJPH) is poised to bring in a new nameplate.

In a statement, the brand’s distributor shared that the Omoda 7 compact crossover shall be sold locally soon.

Although no specific details about the soon-to-be-introduced model have been given at the time of publishing, O and J Philippines noted that the brand’s latest compact crossover was able to cover 100 kilometers per hour from standstill in an average time of 8.0 seconds — surpassing the official benchmark of 8.4 seconds.

According to OJPH, the marque’s International Chief Executive Officer Shawn Xu performed six acceleration sprints during the official test — with temperature soaring above 76 degrees Celsius.

“In peak conditions, the vehicle can achieve 7.85 seconds acceleration time. These results not only highlight the Omoda 7's impressive power output but also affirm its reliability and efficiency under extreme heat, thanks to its advanced engine, battery management system, and cooling technology,” the company stated.

Xu said that the result “confirms that the Omoda 7 can still maintain non-attenuated power output as well as a stable and reliable performance under high-temperature conditions.”

“The high-temperature endurance test is just the beginning. The Omoda 7 will soon undergo further rigorous evaluations, including assessments of its pure electric cruising range and fuel consumption under power loss conditions in high temperatures. These upcoming tests aim to address mileage concerns and advance the development of efficient and eco-friendly solutions for new energy vehicles,” he added.

The said model was first publicly seen at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition last April 28.

To recall, OJPH has yet to commence its retail operations for the Omoda 5, its electric sport utility vehicle counterpart E5, as well as the Jaecoo J7 and J8. All four models were showcased last April at the Manila International Auto Show 2024.
