Global automotive brands OMODA and JAECOO today announced that the first batch of their vehicles in the Philippines, the OMODA C5 AND E5, will start selling this month in Metro Manila and Cebu dealerships. The first two OMODA and JAECOO Showrooms are located in Marcos Highway, Pasig City, and at G-Mall, Cebu City.
The rising global automotive brand saw 2024 as its foundational year in the market. The brand’s key milestones this year include the arrival of the first batches of its automotive models and formation of its networks of partners such as BDO, Security Bank, Bank of China, ICBC, and DB Schenker. The OMODA C5 and E5, which arrived in the Philippines last August, started pre-selling during the brand’s participation at the 12th Philippine EV Summit and the Auto Focus Pre-Christmas Multibrand Test Drive Festival.
“The strides we made this year lay the groundwork for our plans in 2025. We cannot wait to finally see our first models in the market hit Philippine roads, and for Filipinos to experience our unique automotive engineering DNA,” said Abner Berdos, the Vice President of OMODA and JAECOO Motor Philippines, during the brand’s exclusive media thanksgiving dinner on December 11 in Quezon City.
The OMODA C5 is the first automotive innovation engineered by the OMODA brand, and is also the first model to arrive in the Philippines. Built with OMODA’s “Cross F Future” design philosophy, the OMODA C5 is equipped with advanced technologies such as a Smart Key with Remote Engine Start and a Voice Control Command System. It comes in three variants, all ranging below PHP 1.3 million:
Premium Variant – ₱1,279,000.00
Comfort Variant – ₱1,159,000.00
Lifestyle Variant – ₱998,000.00
The OMODA E5 is the brand’s first-ever electric vehicle. It boasts a WLTP-rated range of 430 km and fast-charging capability, allowing it to go from 30% to 80% in just 28 minutes. The model comes in two variants, with the Comfort variant including a free 7kW wall charger. Both are priced below PHP 1.7 million:
PREMIUM Variant – ₱1,699,000.00
COMFORT Variant – ₱1,649,000.00
OMODA & JAECOO will also offer buyers a bumper-to-bumper warranty of up to 84 months or 200,000 km (10 years or 1 million km for the internal combustion engine) and 60 months or 160,000 km bumper- to-bumper warranty (8 years or 160,000 km for electric motors and batteries).
OMODA and JAECOO Philippines gears up for bigger and bolder 2025
Leveraging the grounds gained in 2024, OMODA and JAECOO Philippines is gearing up for a big splash in 2025 with several announcements slated in the first quarter of 2025. The brand is set to showcase new models that will be equipped with advanced technologies and innovative features at the Manila International Auto Show in April 2025.
The JAECOO EJ6, which debuted at the 12th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit in October this year, is one of the brand’s latest automotive innovations that will officially launch in 2025. A star model of the JAECOO brand, the EJ6 is engineered with premium off-road automotive engineering DNA and is poised to lead the off-road-capable EV trend in the Philippines.

The brand’s newest offering is also built with an innovative camping mode and spacious design.
“The support and warm welcome we received make 2024 truly a foundational year for OMODA and JAECOO brands.
