OMODA & JAECOO, the first brand of the Chery Group to enter the Greek market, has achieved a new global sales milestone, surpassing 600,000 units sold by July 2025. At the same time, the brand continues to invest in technological innovation, expanding its portfolio with models that combine efficiency, safety, and sustainable mobility.
The company’s latest milestone in Greece was the official launch of the OMODA 9 SHS at Auto Thessaloniki 2025, held during the 89th Thessaloniki International Fair. The OMODA 9 SHS is the brand’s first flagship plug-in hybrid SUV, setting a new benchmark for the future of hybrid mobility. Powered by OMODA’s advanced Super Hybrid System (SHS), the model blends refined aesthetics, premium comfort, and cutting-edge technology. With all-wheel drive, 145 km of pure electric range, pioneering hybrid performance, and a combined driving range exceeding 1,100 km, it stands as a truly premium SUV engineered for dynamic performance.
The unveiling took place in front of a large audience. The event opened with a welcome speech by Yiannis Kaligeros, Head of Emil Frey Group companies in Greece, who stated:
“Our goal at OMODA & JAECOO Hellas is to build a relationship of trust with the Greek driver. This means investing in our network, after-sales services, people, and infrastructure. In a world that changes so quickly, what customers need is twofold: the certainty of a strong and reliable partner, and the excitement of something new and inspiring ahead. This is exactly what we stand for as OMODA & JAECOO.”
From day one, we have placed great emphasis on selecting the right partners and people on the front line of customer service. In just five months, our network has grown to eight full-service dealerships nationwide and continues to expand. Soon, we will inaugurate Northern Star, a new state-of-the-art facility in Pylaia, Thessaloniki, equipped with the most advanced technology and hosting both OMODA & JAECOO and all Emil Frey Group brands. With the Group’s support, we also operate a fully organized logistics center in Aspropyrgos, Attica, with strong spare parts availability and an experienced after-sales service network that ensures fast and reliable support.
Stratis Batsolakis, General Manager of O&J Automotive Hellas
Mr. Batsolakis also unveiled the new OMODA 9 SHS in a unique way, assisted by ARGOS, the robot dog that captured the audience’s attention by pulling the cover off the vehicle. ARGOS, which arrived in Greece from China especially for the exhibition, was developed jointly by OMODA & JAECOO’s technology team and AIMOGA, reflecting the brand’s broader activities in robotics, AI, and innovation.
Among the distinguished visitors to the OMODA & JAECOO stand at Auto Thessaloniki 2025 were Deputy Minister of Transport Konstantinos Kyranakis and Attica Regional Governor Nikos Hardalias, who were guided through the exhibition by Mr. Kaligeros and showed strong interest in the brands’ models on display. Visitors had the opportunity to see the futuristic OMODA 5, the fully electric OMODA 5 EV, the dynamic and stylish off-road SUV JAECOO 7, and the long-range champion JAECOO 7 SHS, which recently covered 1,504 km from Didymoteicho to Tainaro on a single charge without refueling.
To mark its presence at Auto Thessaloniki 2025, OMODA & JAECOO has launched a special promotional campaign, offering significant discounts on all ready-to-deliver models. The offer is valid nationwide, regardless of attendance at the Thessaloniki International Fair, and will remain active until September 22, 2025.
