At the 2026 Beijing Motor Show, OMODA & JAECOO officially unveiled a new model in its range: the OMODA 4. This B-segment crossover is designed for international distribution, and its launch in France has already been announced for the coming months. This announcement ties in with the Chery Group subsidiary’s overall strategy for European expansion
A key model in the development of the range
Measuring 4.42 metres in length, 1.87 metres in width and 1.57 metres in height, the OMODA 4 is positioned in a key segment of the European market: that of compact crossovers.
This positioning is by no means insignificant. For a brand in its launch phase, this type of vehicle is often strategic: affordable enough to generate sales volume, yet prestigious enough to enhance the brand’s image. Furthermore, as the first (and only) two vehicles currently on sale in France from OMODA & JAECOO belong to the C-segment, the number 4 model therefore brings fresh momentum to the manufacturer.
Let’s talk about design now. It is characterised by angular lines and a striking lighting signature. OMODA draws inspiration from the digital world, with the aim of creating a link between digital usage and the motoring experience. This is a concept already widely used in the industry, but here it translates into a visual identity that is deliberately distinctive.
An interior design focused on the user experience
The interior reinforces this positioning. The OMODA 4 focuses on an immersive digital interface and sophisticated ambient lighting, creating “an atmosphere reminiscent of the world of video games.” The Chery Group subsidiary really emphasises this digital aspect, recognising that the current generation sees such brightly lit environments as an integral part of our daily lives. This is certainly true, even if it remains a bold move for a mainstream vehicle.
A pragmatic hybrid approach
As for the powertrain, although the certification process is still ongoing, the OMODA 4 will be available with SHS (Super Hybrid System) technology. The system delivers 165 kW, or 224 horsepower, with torque of 295 Nm.
According to the press release, the system is based on a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine paired with a 1.83 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. It is therefore a conventional hybrid system, with limited electric range but sufficient to optimise fuel consumption and improve overall efficiency.
Like many manufacturers, this technical choice confirms that the brand is taking a pragmatic approach. Rather than switching directly to 100% electric, the brand is adapting to a European market that is still in transition, where hybrid remains the dominant solution.
A quick arrival in France
One of the key points of this announcement is the timeline. Whilst the model has been unveiled to the general public, this does not guarantee that it will be available on the market any time soon. As for the OMODA 4, we already know more: it will go on sale in France in the coming months.
This launch comes at a significant juncture: OMODA & JAECOO has been officially present on the French market since April 2026, with a well-established strategy already in place. From the roll-out of a distribution network and logistics partnerships to long-term warranties and an electrified range, the brand has made a series of announcements to consolidate its foothold in the market.
The OMODA 4 thus rounds off a growing range, with a model designed for higher sales volumes in a key segment. It competes with major models such as the Peugeot 3008, Volkswagen T-Roc and Hyundai Kona.
A rise in form yet to be confirmed
OMODA & JAECOO is experiencing rapid growth, with over a million vehicles sold worldwide and a presence in 69 markets. In Europe, the brand has already sold over 200,000 units.
With the OMODA 4, the brand ticks all the right boxes: clear positioning, a promising and crucial segment, a pragmatic approach to electrification and a fast-track launch schedule. It now remains to be seen how this model will fare in an already highly competitive European market.
