Chinese carmaker Omada claims to have 50 retail sites confirmed across the UK prior to its launch in April with a full year target of 100. Dealers on board include Listers, Arnold Clark and Greenhous.
OMODA arrives in the UK with two cars. The OMODA 5 SUV is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The OMODA E5 is a pure electric model with a claimed driving range of 280 miles.
Introduced in 2022, OMODA launched in 15 new markets across Eastern Europe, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia last year. In 2023, OMODA had global sales of 147,000 vehicles.
Cullum Goodson, network development manager for the UK, said: “We knew from the outset having a physical retail presence would be a key part of our approach in the UK, and with over 50 sites already confirmed pre-launch we’re exactly where we want to be.
“Even before we were able to show anyone a physical car, interest was high purely based on how strong the product is and the value it offers.
Now there’s been a chance to see the car, that enthusiasm is snowballing, especially with our plans for future models evolving.”
