Both JAECOO and OMODA fall under the banner of Chery, China’s largest car manufacturer. The unusual name JAECOO derives from the German word ‘Jaeger’, meaning ‘hunter’, and the English word, ‘cool’. As a sub-division of Chery International, Omoda and Jaecoo are two sister brands owned by Chery that are only marketed outside China to support its export strategy. Omoda is typically positioned as a more premium brand compared to the more mainstream Chery brand.
