- Listers becomes latest dealer group to represent OMODA&JAECOO
- Dual-brand has 80 dealer contracts already signed, with 120 sites to be open by 2025
Dual-brand OMODA&JAECOO has reached a significant milestone in the rapid expansion of its UK dealer network, with Listers Solihull opening its doors as the 60th retail site.
Listers, one of the largest family-owned automotive businesses in the UK, operates more than 50 dealerships across the UK stretching as far north as Grimsby and Hull, and as far south as Bristol. It represents 17 premium and prestige brands and, with the addition of OMODA&JAECOO to its portfolio, the Listers Solihull site has undergone total refurbishment to become the brand’s flagship site in the Midlands.
Victor Zhang, Executive Vice President of OMODA&JAECOO UK said: “Opening 60 dealerships in just six months is a significant achievement for a new brand and is evidence of our strong commitment to the UK market. With 80 dealer contracts signed, we are well on our way to our target of having 120 dealerships open in 2025.”
“We are confident that the OMODA 5 and OMODA E5 models will bring Listers customers the choice and technology they seek at an affordable price, with further models to follow soon.” Added Zhang.
The petrol-powered OMODA 5 starts from £25,235, while the all-electric OMODA E5 is available from £33,055. The JAECOO 7 will join the line up in early 2025 with a 1.6-litre petrol or 1.5-litre petrol plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The range will expand further with the addition of the OMODA 9 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and OMODA 7, which offers either hybrid or petrol powertrain options. 2026 will likely see the arrival of OMODA 3 with the choice of EV, petrol or hybrid powertrains.
Listers said: “Our partnership with OMODA&JAECOO builds on our current brand partnerships and puts us in a strong position to offer an affordable yet premium selection of vehicles.
“The dual-brand offers products with exceptional quality, high specification and fantastic value and backs this up with a 7-year, 100,000-mile warranty. The parent company, Chery International has been established since 1997, giving us total confidence in this exciting future together.”
