Both are sub-brands of Chery, but they're positioned differently. OMODA leans tech-forward and urban — sleek, futuristic styling aimed at city drivers. JAECOO is the rugged, adventure-oriented sibling — boxier styling, off-road-influenced design, and a focus on versatility for both city and weekend trail use. Think of OMODA as the design-led daily driver and JAECOO as the do-it-all adventure SUV.

Yes — the OMODA E5 qualifies under Category A COE, with its motor output sitting within the 110kW threshold. It's one of the more accessible electric crossovers available under Cat A, with a claimed range of up to 430km.

The J6 is a dual-motor full EV with genuine off-road character — quick (6.5s 0-100), rugged styling, and a useful rear external storage box, but a real-world range closer to 300km. The J7 is a PHEV with a claimed 1,200km combined range per tank, making it the better choice if range anxiety or charging access is a concern. If you're fully committed to EV charging at home, the J6 is the more characterful choice; if you want a safety net, the J7's hybrid system removes that worry entirely.
