Omoda C5 shines as Chery group closes in on Suzuki in September
Core Chery brand along with Omoda, Jaecoo and Jetour are a force to be reckoned with.
The Omoda C5 model took center stage in September as the Chery sub-brand and its parent company recorded impressive new car sales. The compact crossover/SUV sold a record 936 units, placing it as the second best-selling model for Chery behind the Chery Tiggo 4/Cross, which sold 2,251 units. The core Chery brand itself sold 3,004 units, making it the seventh best-selling brand in the market.
The total sales for the entire Chery group reached a staggering 6,543 units, just 125 fewer than Suzuki's sales of 6,668. Despite the Omoda C5's impressive performance, the company's latest two sub-brands, Lepas and iCaur, are yet to be included in the monthly Naamsa numbers. However, sales of the Jaecoo J5 model also reached new heights, selling 410 units in September.
The core Chery brand's record sales were further bolstered by the electric Q model, which sold 214 units, as well as 392 Tiggo 7s, 114 Tiggo 8s, and 33 Tiggo 9s.
