Soft Living Behind the Wheel: OMODA & JAECOO Prioritizes Onboard Well–Being in the Chilean Market

Santiago, June 2026 – OMODA & JAECOO is bringing to the Chilean market a concept that is gaining ground among today’s drivers: “soft living” applied to mobility, with vehicles designed to deliver a more harmonious, comfortable driving experience centered on everyday well-being.

The brand strengthens its position with a lineup of models that combine design, technology, and features aimed at turning the cabin into a space of balance and enjoyment, beyond mere transportation. The starting point is a simple premise: time spent in the car can also be quality time.

Following this logic, OMODA & JAECOO has developed quiet interiors, carefully designed ergonomics, soft-touch materials, and technological solutions that make every journey pleasant, whether in the city or on the highway. “Innovation is not just about adding more screens or more functions, but about improving how each trip is experienced,” explains Nicolás Pietrantoni, General Manager of OMODA & JAECOO.

In practice, this translates into concrete features. The OMODA C7, one of the brand’s best-equipped models in Chile, includes functions such as Nap Mode, configurable ambient lighting, intelligent climate control, and soft ambient white noise, all designed to promote rest during travel breaks. The JAECOO 5 adds a pet‑friendly approach with antibacterial upholstery, easy-to-clean surfaces, optimized climate control, and specific solutions for transporting pets comfortably and hygienically, extending the idea of well-being to the entire family.

 

Other models, such as the recently launched OMODA 5 SHS and JAECOO 7 SHS, reinforce this proposition through their interior design. The former stands out for its dual HD multimedia screens, heated seats and steering wheel, ambient lighting, and a cabin environment focused on comfort during urban journeys. The latter, meanwhile, focuses on spaciousness and ride quality, with seats offering multiple adjustment modes, ventilation and heating, along with a sound system that turns the cabin into a space conducive to enjoying music and conversation while traveling.

The brand complements these attributes with connectivity and entertainment features, such as onboard karaoke, and with positioning initiatives at major events, including Lollapalooza Chile 2026, where it sought to associate its proposition with music and gathering experiences. The goal is to consolidate the idea of the car as a third space linked to lifestyle: a place to be, to share, and to enjoy, beyond just getting from one place to another.

The brand maintains that this direction responds to clear changes in user expectations. “Today, people value cars that, in addition to design, technology, and performance, contribute comfort, connection, and well-being in their daily lives,” adds Nicolás Pietrantoni, emphasizing that the brand is committed to integrating these concepts across its local offering.

In terms of real-world use, the experience of model and influencer Maximiliano Ferres stands out. He currently uses an OMODA 5 and a JAECOO 7 in his daily routine.

 

In his case, the OMODA 5 first took on the role of an urban SUV, associated with his work as a model, his travel to events and photo shoots. Its cutting-edge design and quiet cabin allow him to “shift down” between engagements.

The move to the JAECOO 7 came as a natural complement: a roomier, more versatile SUV for his outdoor getaways, out-of-town training sessions, and trips with his large dog. For these, he values the interior space, seat comfort, and overall ride quality.

For Ferres, the combination of both models perfectly captures the idea of “soft living” applied to mobility: being able to move with style and technology, but also with comfort, calm, and the feeling that every journey can be a moment to enjoy – whether on the streets of Santiago or through more outdoor landscapes. His experience serves as an example of how OMODA & JAECOO’s proposition seeks to accompany different facets of an active life – work, city, sports, nature, and personal time – while keeping onboard well-being as the common denominator.

Beat the Heat on Cross-City Match Days: OMODA & JAECOO SHS Is the Ultimate Summer Ride for Football Fans

On World Environment Day, the global focus turns to low-carbon transformation and sustainable mobility. Staying true to its brand philosophy of “Born Unique, Born Green,” OMODA & JAECOO leverages its self-developed SHS (Super Hybrid System) technology to fulfill its environmental mission with outstanding fuel consumption performance verified through real-world road tests across multiple regions, embodying green development principles with hardcore products.

 

Tailored New Energy Solutions Based on Global Market Differences

Recognizing the diverse driving environments across global markets, the brand is committed to creating the “BEST NEV SOLUTION”. Starting from the original intent of new energy development, OMODA & JAECOO has built a diversified new energy product portfolio, flexibly selecting products based on the level of charging infrastructure maturity and driving habits in each market.

In regions where charging infrastructure is still underdeveloped, fuel costs are high, users have strong long-distance travel demands and BEV adoption faces limitations. In such markets, HEV and PHEV plug-in hybrids become the optimal solutions tailored to local conditions.

 

In Europe, stringent carbon emission regulations continue to drive the electrification of the automotive industry. HEVs are well-suited for daily short-distance commuting, while PHEVs offer both long-range capability and zero-emission electric driving for short trips. This dual-line product matrix not only meets policy requirements for environmental protection but also aligns with the diverse mobility needs of European consumers. This region-specific product strategy represents the brand’s pragmatic approach to implementing its green philosophy across global markets.

Multi-Dimensional Authoritative Testing and Certification Reinforcing NEV Low-Carbon and Super Low Energy Consumption Advantages

Leveraging Sino-European carbon accounting certification and extensive cross-border real-world testing data, the brand’s NEV low-carbon strength is validated from two key dimensions: full lifecycle carbon emissions and real-world vehicle fuel consumption.

Notably, the JAECOO 7 SHS achieved the world’s first mutual recognition of carbon data between China and Europe, with a full lifecycle carbon footprint of only 120.40 gCO₂e/km – providing authoritative certification of the green value of new energy products.

In real-world scenarios, multi-country testing further confirms the low energy consumption performance. During Chile’s inaugural Latin American Super Hybrid Challenge, the test spanned over 400 kilometers of complex road conditions, including highways, urban streets, and intercity roads. The Uruguayan team driving the OMODA 5 SHS-H completed the entire test, achieving nearly 1,000 kilometers of range on a full tank of fuel, with real-world fuel consumption of 4.22L/100km. The Peruvian team driving the JAECOO 7 SHS-P also achieved impressive fuel efficiency, with combined range easily exceeding 1,200 kilometers and fuel consumption of 3.07L/100km in battery-depleted mode.

In the JAECOO 8 real-world test across Poland, Slovakia, and Austria, covering nearly 1,500 kilometers, the vehicle utilized its V2L external discharge function to expand clean energy application scenarios. Unlike idealized laboratory data, these all-scenario real-world test results deliver on the brand’s technical commitment to energy consumption control.

Fuel Savings Reduce Burden, Green Carbon Reduction Fulfills Environmental Mission

Excellent fuel efficiency not only reduces user vehicle operating costs but also continuously contributes to ecological and environmental protection. Based on real-world test data: the JAECOO 7 SHS-P achieves fuel consumption 40% lower than comparable conventional fuel SUVs. Assuming an average annual driving distance of 10,000 kilometers, this fuel efficiency saves approximately 320 liters of fuel per year, equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 736 kilograms. Based on the average annual carbon sequestration of approximately 11.3 kilograms per mature tree, this annual carbon reduction is equivalent to planting about 65 mature trees. Every drop of fuel saved by car owners in their daily driving adds a touch of green to our planet.

 

OMODA & JAECOO has always been committed to new energy as its core development direction. While continuously advancing SHS hybrid technology, the brand is also laying out diverse new energy pathways, consistently creating products for global consumers that balance economy with low-carbon environmental protection, supporting global green mobility through technological innovation.
