Testing future models in China

The product lineup of Omoda and Jaecoo in the Philippines is just a small slice of their larger stable of vehicles. To give Filipinos a better idea of what these two brands have to offer, Omoda and Jaecoo Philippines recently invited us to Wuhu, China to learn more about them.

As a follow up to our earlier feature on them two weeks ago, we continue where we left off. Right after a tour of their manufacturing facility and off-road test course, we then proceeded to the handling course for acceleration, braking and handling tests with upcoming vehicles.

There were two vehicles of interest, the Omoda 5 SHS-H, a hybrid version of the C5 that's already available here in the Philippines, and the Jaecoo 5 SHS-H, the smaller sibling of the recently launched J7 SHS. These two might also be making their way to our shores very soon.
