New Omoda 7 confirmed for UK – but can it live up to the smash-hit Jaecoo 7?

The new Omoda 7 joins the Chinese car maker's line-up in January - (Omoda)

Omoda has confirmed that its new mid-size SUV, the Omoda 7, will arrive in the UK from January 2026 – but it faces a tricky task living up to the success of its own sibling. The brand’s sister marque, Jaecoo, has stormed into the UK sales charts this year, with the Jaecoo 7 becoming Britain’s sixth best-selling car in October. And with the Omoda 7 sharing much of its underlying technology with the Jaecoo 7, the pressure is firmly on the newcomer to replicate its glamorous relative’s momentum.

Prices will start from £29,915 for the petrol version and £32,000 for the plug-in hybrid, immediately giving it an advantage over the Jaecoo 7 which costs £30,115 for the petrol and £35,165 for the plug-in models.
