Omoda and Jaecoo continue to flex their muscles in the UK as latest figures show the brands finished July by securing their largest ever combined market share.
Latest data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders shows that the two Chery-owned Chinese brands achieved a whopping 2.71% combined slice of the UK new car market last month. Omoda registered 1,874 cars in July and Jaecoo 1,915, while for year-to-date, Omoda has registered 8,815 cars and Jaecoo noticeably more with 10,314.
It means that, combined, Omoda and Jaecoo have registered more cars in the UK than big established brands such as Dacia, Citroen, Honda, Seat and MINI, so far in 2025.
July was a mixed month for the brands' nearest rivals, too. BYD took a 2.27% share last month, and year-to-date BYD has registered 22,574 cars in the UK, while Tesla has managed 23,708. MG, meanwhile, saw registrations slip by 9.53% in July compared to the same month last, while year-to-date, the Chinese-owned British brand has seen registrations slip by 4.02%. Still, with 48,254 cars registered so far in 2025, it's not far off volume brands like Peugeot, Nissan and Hyundai.
Commenting on Omoda and Jaecoo's performance in July, UK boss Gary Lan said: "We are incredibly proud to have earned the trust of thousands of UK drivers in such a short space of time.'To be competing with, and in some cases outperforming, long-established brands is a strong vote of confidence from customers – and a clear signal that the UK market is hungry for something new.
"This isn’t just a spike, however. It’s the beginning of something much bigger. We’re building trust, proving ourselves, and giving customers more than they expect. As today’s announcement confirms, we’re only just getting started."
Omoda and Jaecoo's parent firm, Chery, is readying itself for its UK launch next month. It has already priced up its Tiggo 8 plug-in hybrid SUV, confirming it'll start from £28,545.
