Brindley Group has entered into a new partnership with Chinese manufacturers Omoda and Jaecoo, bringing the brands’ new models to its Cannock dealership.
The brands, which are subsidiaries of Chery, will offer a range of electric and petrol models focusing on urban crossover SUVs including the petrol Omoda 5 and plug-in hybrid Jaecoo 7.
The Omoda 5 is a mid-size SUV, similar to the Hyundai Kona or Nissan Qashqai. Omoda will have electric and petrol variants of the 5 available from launch, including the Omoda 5 EV with a 61kWh battery and a range up to 273 miles.
UK customers are offered a 7-year warranty with the new Omoda 5, and an 8-year battery warranty. The expected starting price for the Omoda 5 will be around £25,000, with the electric version likely to cost around £5,000 more.
The four-wheel-drive Jaecoo 7 is a more premium offering, aiming to rival Mercedes and BMW and launching as a plug-in hybrid.
Brindley Group chairman, Che Watson said: “We’re incredibly proud and excited to be introducing our partnerships with innovative brands like Omoda and Jaecoo. This is a great demonstration of our commitment to making sustainable vehicles more accessible for our customers. We’re looking forward to the road ahead as we continue to work with these new manufacturers.”
