With this entry into Kazakhstan, the brands will introduce a robust lineup—including the JAECOO 7 SHS-P, JAECOO 5, and OMODA 5 FL—covering the full spectrum of local mainstream consumer needs.
A Mutual Endeavor: Strategic Alignment and Industrial Upgrades
Kazakhstan is the economic heart of Central Asia and a major automotive consumer market. As a vital gateway connecting Europe and Asia, its automotive sector holds immense potential—making it a must-win market for OMODA & JAECOO’s global strategy. With technology leadership, reliable quality, and proven global sales and expansion strength, OMODA & JAECOO have achieved strong strategic alignment with their Kazakhstan general distributor.
At the signing ceremony, senior executives from both sides committed to deeper strategic cooperation, including plans to build a localized automobile manufacturing plant in Kazakhstan. Once realized, the project will not only strengthen the local automotive supply chain, cultivate professional talent, and create jobs—but also accelerate new energy vehicle adoption, upgrade local automotive consumption, and support the modernization of Kazakhstan’s automotive industry.
Looking Ahead: Three Flagship Models Set to Lead Central Asia’s Mobility Trends
The ceremony also revealed that the JAECOO 7 SHS-P, JAECOO 5, and OMODA 5 FL have entered the pre-launch. These will be the first OMODA & JAECOO models to enter the Kazakhstani market. The JAECOO 7 SHS-P is powered by a third-generation Super Hybrid System, delivering a combined range of over 1,200 kilometers with high performance and Super Low Efficiency. The JAECOO 5 lives by “Enjoy Each Moment Outdoors”—offering great value and practical features for daily commutes and outdoor adventures. The OMODA 5 FL, with its proven quality and reliability, is a stylish ride for trendsetting Neo-Trendy LOHAS.
This agreement marks a major step forward for OMODA & JAECOO’s globalization and fully embodies the spirit of the Chery International Business Summit(IBS). By combining the smart capabilities of Mornine—a robot co-developed by the AiMOGA team—with the local expertise of the Kazakhstani master distributor, both sides will create a model partnership in the Central Asian automotive market, bringing world-class products and service experiences to local consumers.
