Omoda 3 planned for 2026 with aggressive styling

Omoda 3 planned for 2026 with aggressive styling

To say that Chery moves at a breakneck pace would be a complete understatement. Having just launched the Omoda 5 last year and the electric E5 this year, the crossover sub-brand – yes, it’s technically separated from the main Chery brand – unveiled the larger Omoda 7 this week. Now we know there’s going to be an Omoda 3 soon too!

Expect it to have “mega” styling, said Shawn Xu, Omoda & Jaecoo global CEO in a press session in Wuhu, China. The image (above) used at the dealer conference is clearly of an early design sketch/concept, but it’s certainly a wild looking crossover worthy of that description. We’ll have to wait and see to find out how much of it will filter through to the production version.

Omoda 3 planned for 2026 with aggressive styling

As for when that would be, we should be looking at 2026 at the very earliest, as the Omoda 3 is not listed on the 2024/2025 launch table (above) presented to dealers here. What is listed however, is the Omoda 7 PHEV as well as the Omoda E5 facelift, both scheduled for 2025.

Also unknown is how the Omoda 3 will actually fit into Chery Malaysia’s range. With the Omoda 5 priced to take on the Proton X50 and the upcoming Tiggo 4 slated to rival the Perodua Ativa and Honda WR-V, your guess is as good as ours as to where the new O3 will be positioned.

    Very futuristic but failed in quality.

      The biggest mistake a car brand can do is to sell unreliable cars. To win customers back after a series of poor quality cars will end up like Peugeot, Citreon, Renault, Fiat and Alfa… not many are willing to take the risk with these brands in Malaysia.

        The french cars are top quality. Its mahatahi and barua nasional policy makers who sabotaged these brands.

    • Now hiring youtubers/KOL to praise them for taking fast action.

      When you failed in quality, divert people’s attention to your perceived effort.

      First things first, cut down the amount of brands they have, then they perhaps can put brain power to quality

      Imagine if Toyota had so many brands before the 80’s

      Just like phone, they got redmi 9, redmi 9A, redmi 9C, all launched within the same year.
      This is why most people don’t take their launching seriously.

  • No, if they lay low for a while and if there’s no new issues.

      Correct learn from Proton as the X70 engine burned in Puspakom 7 months ago until today still silent – and people still buying no problemo.

      No need “deep inside” brother. You see their teh tarik + karipap culture on the surface, that already explains everything inside out.

    Tofu dreg companies focus on quantity and not quality. Focus on high sales figures of disposable cars rather than building credibility and reputation through reliability.

    These CCP car companies with plenty of sub-brands and unnecessary new models is a testament to the disposable tofu dreg product philosophy.
