Omoda Reviews

Omoda's combined UK market share with sister brand Jaecoo has overtaken BYD, Renault, Citroen, and Dacia — less than two years after launch. Here's what independent road tests actually say about the range behind that growth.

A Genuinely Fast Start, Backed by a Long-Established Manufacturer

Omoda launched in the UK in August 2024 as one half of Chinese manufacturer Chery's push into Europe, and the growth since has been rapid by any standard — within a year, the combined Omoda and Jaecoo brands had captured a bigger slice of the UK market than established names including BYD, Renault, Citroen, Dacia, and Tesla. That's not simply a case of an unknown badge undercutting on price with nothing behind it either: Chery has been building cars for over 25 years and exports to more than 80 countries, giving Omoda a genuinely experienced parent company rather than a fresh startup.

Reviewers consistently highlight generous standard equipment and sharp pricing as Omoda's clearest strength, backed by a seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty that carries over to a second owner if the car is sold used — a genuinely useful detail for anyone considering one on the second-hand market. Because the brand is still so new here, independently verified long-term reliability data genuinely doesn't exist yet in the way it does for more established rivals, worth factoring into any buying decision alongside the warranty backing. The summaries below cover what several independent testers actually found behind the wheel of each model.
