London, 11 June 2025 – OMODA&JAECOO UK is fast proving itself as a major contender in the country’s rapidly evolving hybrid vehicle sector, registering 1,677 plug-in hybrid (PHEV) sales in May alone. Bolstered by its proprietary Super Hybrid System (SHS), the brand’s momentum is not only impressive by newcomer standards—it firmly positions JAECOO among the highest-performing hybrid marques in the UK market just months after launch.
This milestone aligns with broader trends across the UK automotive landscape. According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), PHEV registrations surged by 51% year-on-year in May, now accounting for 12% of the new car market. As UK drivers continue to shift away from traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in favour of more sustainable, flexible alternatives, OMODA&JAECOO’s SHS technology is emerging as a compelling solution.
Intelligent Hybrid Mobility with SHS
At the heart of this success lies the Super Hybrid System – a plug-in hybrid platform developed to deliver an “electric-first” driving experience, while preserving the extended range and convenience of petrol power. Unlike conventional plug-in hybrids, SHS maintains a consistent level of electric drive by preventing the battery from dropping to zero, ensuring uninterrupted electric assistance during real-world use.
SHS-equipped models can also be charged via external sources, with fast-charging capabilities of up to 70 kW, depending on the model. This dual approach enables drivers to benefit from exceptional fuel economy, ultra-low emissions, and the versatility to suit urban, suburban, and long-distance driving.
JAECOO 7 SHS: Leading the Charge
Launched in January 2025, the JAECOO 7 SHS has become a breakout success. Accounting for around 70% of total JAECOO 7 sales, the model offers standout specifications: a WLTP-certified range of up to 745 miles, including 56 miles of zero-emissions EV driving, CO₂ emissions as low as 23 g/km, and an impressive fuel economy rating of 403 mpg. Priced from £35,065 OTR², the JAECOO 7 SHS has quickly carved out a loyal following among buyers seeking advanced hybrid performance without the high-end price tag.
OMODA 9 SHS: Premium Power Meets Efficiency
The brand’s newest entrant, the OMODA 9 SHS, has recently joined the UK line-up, further strengthening the SHS portfolio. Positioned as a flagship SUV, the OMODA 9 delivers premium comfort and cutting-edge hybrid engineering in equal measure. With up to 93 miles of electric range and over 700 miles of combined WLTP-certified range, it accelerates from 0–62 mph in a brisk 4.9 seconds, thanks to a system output of 449 PS and 700 Nm of torque. With prices starting at £44,990 OTR², it offers a high-spec alternative in the burgeoning performance hybrid SUV space.
Looking Ahead: Continued Growth and Innovation
Victor Zhang, UK Country Director for OMODA&JAECOO, remarked:
“To have registered over 1,600 plug-in hybrids in a single month shows the appetite for smarter hybrid solutions in the UK. Our Super Hybrid System combines the best of both worlds – electric refinement with petrol flexibility – and last month’s performance reflects the strength of that formula. With the JAECOO 7 SHS and OMODA 9 SHS now both on sale, we’re proud to be leading a new chapter for electrified SUVs.”
With further SHS-equipped models set to launch later this year, OMODA&JAECOO is clearly committed to expanding its presence in the UK – delivering accessible, intelligent hybrid mobility to a market eager for progressive, practical solutions.
