JAECOO 7 is the UK’s best-selling car again in October

For the second consecutive month, the JAECOO 7 topped the UK new-car registration charts, with 3 412 units in October according to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). It is the SUV’s third time at number one in 2026, after earlier wins in March and September.

October’s result takes the model’s 2026 total to 42 885 registrations, making it the UK’s second best-selling new car so far this year. Two of its three monthly wins have come back-to-back.

JAECOO entered the UK market in January 2025, so the run has come less than two years after the brand’s arrival there.

OMODA&JAECOO UK registrations and market share

Across the wider portfolio, OMODA&JAECOO UK recorded 9 226 registrations in October, a 6.1% share of the UK new-car market. In October 2025 it registered 4 953 vehicles. The figures follow a record September, when the dual-brand registered 22 296 vehicles for a 6.37% share.

Further down the rankings, the JAECOO 5 finished tenth with 2 171 registrations and the OMODA 5 placed 15th with 1 770. The JAECOO E5 was the third best-selling EV in the UK, with 1 465 sold in October.

Victor Zhang on ownership and retailers

Victor Zhang, Managing Director of OMODA&JAECOO UK, said seeing the JAECOO 7 remain at the top of the UK market was “a strong endorsement of the work our team and retailers have put in here.” He added that the focus is on “making sure the experience of owning one of our cars matches the excitement of buying one.”

UK retailer network and aftersales support

OMODA entered the British market in August 2024, and the dual-brand now offers petrol, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric SUVs there. Its UK retailer network stands at more than 140 locations.

Eight regional Super Parts Hubs have recently opened across Great Britain, alongside a partnership with the RAC, to improve parts availability and reduce vehicle downtime. The OJ Approved used-car programme has also been launched, extending the offering to buyers of used OMODA and JAECOO models in the UK.
