Makers of Chinese car brands Omoda and Jaecoo are selling ahead of expectations, the general manager for South Africa revealed to Sunday World.

"Our goal was to exceed 1000 units sold in the third quarter, and while we anticipated our upcoming model launches would contribute significantly to this, the Omoda C5 has already exceeded expectations.

"As a result, we reached the 1000-unit milestone ahead of schedule," he said. "We are ahead of our sales targets."

Omoda & Jaecoo (O&J) South Africa general manager Hans Greyling had announced that June was a record-breaking month for the brand. Greyling said O&J sold 1009 new passenger vehicles last month.
