OMODA & JAECOO UK has celebrated a breakthrough moment at the 2025 Scottish Car of the Year Awards, securing two major honours that reinforce the group’s rapidly rising profile in the UK. With the JAECOO 7 named Family Car of the Year 2025 and OMODA&JAECOO recognised as Best Newcomer, the brand house continues to build remarkable momentum in its debut year.
Hosted at the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club in Edinburgh, and judged by the respected Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW), the awards highlight the standout automotive achievements of the year across a wide range of categories. For OMODA & JAECOO, the accolades underline both strong product performance and a fast-growing connection with UK drivers.
The JAECOO 7 has secured one of the ceremony’s most competitive awards: Family Car of the Year.
Judges praised the SUV for its versatile cabin, comfort, practicality, and outstanding value — key qualities that have propelled the model to rapid success since launch.
“The JAECOO 7 earned Best Family Car for its impressive blend of space, comfort and value. Its flexible interior, generous boot and family-friendly practicality stood out in a busy segment. Strong safety tech and a smooth, assured driving experience helped it shine as an ideal modern family all-rounder.”
More than 22,000 JAECOO 7s are now on UK roads, making it one of the fastest-growing new SUVs in the market. Prices start from £30,115 OTR, with the JAECOO 7 SHS available from £35,165 OTR.
Looking ahead, the JAECOO family is expanding with the
arrival of the JAECOO 5 — available as both a pure electric EV and a
traditional ICE model — and the all-electric JAECOO E5. The JAECOO 5 is
available to order now from £24,505 OTR, while the E5 starts at £37,505 OTR.
In addition to the JAECOO 7’s category success, OMODA&JAECOO UK has been awarded Best Newcomer, marking a standout first year for the brand house in Britain.
Launched less than two years ago, OMODA & JAECOO has already established a strong presence with an expanding retailer network, significant operations in Scotland, and a portfolio spanning the OMODA 5, OMODA E5, OMODA 9, and the full JAECOO line-up.
Judges highlighted the brands’ clear market proposition: modern design, comprehensive equipment levels, strong value, and growing customer appeal.
“Being named Best Newcomer is a defining moment for our UK team and retail partners. It reflects the hard work behind our first year and the strong response from customers nationwide. As we approach 2026, we remain focused on expanding our line-up, strengthening our network, and delivering greater choice and value to UK drivers.”
