Meet the Next Generation

The all-new OMODA C5 HEV is almost here.🔥

The wait is nearly over. Omoda Jaecoo is getting ready to launch one of the most exciting vehicles South Africa has seen this year — and trust us, it’s worth it.

Say hello to the all-new OMODA C5 HEV: a bold, smart hybrid SUV built for real South African driving.

Fuel prices? Going up.

Traffic? Not getting better.

Drivers? Wanting more for their money.

This is where the C5 HEV steps in.

Goodbye fuel anxiety. Hello 4.9L/100km.

A Brand That’s Moving Fast

OMODA isn’t playing around.

With the C5, C7 and C9 already making waves locally, the brand has proven it’s here to stay. But the C5 HEV? This one is different.

It’s not just another model — it’s a big step forward.

A hybrid SUV that gives you performance, efficiency, and tech all in one.

Performance That Just Makes Sense

Under the bonnet, you’ve got the best of both worlds:

  • Turbocharged 1.5L petrol engine

  • Smooth hybrid transmission

And the numbers?

  • 165 kW of power
  • 295 Nm of torque (instant pull from electric power) ⚡
  • 4.9L/100km fuel consumption

Drive in Eco when you want to save fuel.

Switch to Sport when you want to feel it go.

Either way, the drive is smooth, quiet, and seriously impressive.

  • 372L boot space
