Omoda & Jaecoo to introduce all-new ‘X’ crossover this month

MANILA: Omoda & Jaecoo is launching a new crossover model on October 20, 2026. Dubbed the “X,” it will be introduced under the Omoda brand name, and it will come with plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) options. 

Moreover, the Omoda X will boast the same elevated levels of advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) as other Omoda & Jaecoo nameplates. It will, however, boast the addition of the Super Intelligent Valet Parking System (SIVP) and artificial intelligence (AI) pilot technologies.

Per the Chinese sister brands, the SIVP and the AI pilot work in tandem to provide a “full-scenario smart mobility experience.” Not many details about these were shared, but we are guessing they will have some capability for autonomous driving.

Going back to its powertrain, no details were also disclosed. It was, however, touted as capable of achieving sports-car agility while offering some level of off-road capability. 

Appearance-wise, the published design sketch of the Omoda X suggests a very angular look similar to that of the Omoda 4, which was launched at Auto China 2026. 

Basically, the upcoming Omoda X shares the same “cyber mecha” exterior language as the Omoda 4, as demonstrated by the sketch’s highly angular overall shape. Sure, the sketch won’t be a one-to-one representation of the final product, but the real-life example of this design direction on the Omoda 4 suggests a pointed nose, very sharp LED lighting fixtures, a rakish roofline, and deep-cut character lines. 

Omoda likewise cited the Omoda 5, 7, and 4 as the previous steps in its “exploration” of the crossover formula. So, if we have to guess again, the Omoda X might just look more “extreme” and edgier compared to the three aforementioned nameplates. 

Notably, this is a global debut, and the Omoda X isn’t likely to come to the Philippine market anytime soon. 

Currently, the brand’s locally available lineup of models consists of the following: 

• Omoda C5
• Omoda E5

Jaecoo, meanwhile, sells the following nameplates in the Philippine market: 

• Jaecoo J5 EV
• Jaecoo J7
• Jaecoo EJ6
• Jaecoo J5 SHS
