2025 Chery Omoda 7 previewed, Australian launch confirmed

The Omoda 7 will join the small Omoda 5 that landed in March 2023, along with the all-electric Omoda E5, bound for Australia sometime in the second half of 2024.

Chery also has a bigger Tiggo 8 Pro Max due to reach Australia in May, followed by the new luxury-focused brand Jaecoo – said to be named for a combination of the German word ‘Jaeger’ (hunter) and the English word ‘cool’.

“Every angle exudes style; the front face is distinctively sharp, the side profile boasts an elegantly smooth waistline, while the lightning tail-light design conveys the power of technology and grace.”

“The Omoda models are also known for their cutting-edge technology and state-of-the art safety features. Chery’s latest SUV is set to build upon this by offering features that will further enhance the everyday driving experience of customers.”
