In March 2026, international oil prices approached $120 per barrel, hitting a four-year high. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, average diesel retail prices surged 16.7% over two weeks, while Bulgaria's A95 gasoline jumped 6% a single week. For ordinary households, these aren't just news headlines — they're the numbers climbing on their monthly bills.

As transportation costs become a daily anxiety, European consumers' car-buying calculus is shifting. In January 2026, new energy vehicle (NEV) sales in major European markets including Germany, the UK, Italy, and France surged 23.1% year-over-year, with plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) soaring 37.8%. Low-energy-consumption vehicles are shifting from “eco-friendly choices” to “economic necessities”— in an era where travel costs fuel constant worry, the value of hybrid technology is being rediscovered.

Why is SHS Hybrid the more worthwhile choice today?

Faced with oil price volatility, consumers need more than just a “fuel-efficient” car; they need a systematic solution that balances economy, practicality, and driving pleasure. OMODA & JAECOO's SHS Super Hybrid System is precisely engineered around this core need.

First, tangible economic returns. With an official WLTP fuel consumption of 6L/100km and a real-world figure of just 3.1L/100km — both class-leading — the savings are significant. At current European fuel prices, this translates to nearly 40% lower fuel costs per 1,000 kilometers compared to traditional gasoline vehicles. For a family driving 20,000 kilometers annually, that means savings of approximately €800–1,000 per year — enough to cover a family holiday or add a few special items to the Christmas gift list.

Second, a comprehensive range that truly eliminates range anxiety. With a WLTP combined range of 1,200 km and a real-world combined range of 1,613.1 km, it leads its class. The distance from Paris to Berlin is approximately 1,050 km—a single tank is sufficient for the entire journey without refueling. For pure electric range, the WLTP-certified 90 km extends to 151.6 km in real-world testing—more than sufficient for the average European daily commute. This means everyday trips — commuting, school runs, weekend errands — can be completed with zero fuel consumption. With 40kW DC fast charging that replenishes the battery from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes, the system enables pure electric operation for urban commutes and seamless hybrid mode for long-distance travel, eliminating both charging and range anxieties.

Remarkably, this efficiency comes without compromising driving experience. The responsive acceleration delivered by the 150kW motor power completely redefines the stereotype that “hybrid means compromise”—fuel efficiency and exhilaration should never be an either-or choice. The fifth-generation 1.5TDGI hybrid-specific engine achieves a thermal efficiency of 44.5%, integrating six core technologies including Deep Miller Cycle and i-HEC Intelligent Combustion. The Super Hybrid DHT motor delivers peak power of 150kW and peak torque of 310N·m, with EV efficiency reaching 98.5%. The high-safety hybrid battery pack provides 2ms power-off protection, with five safety standards covering overcurrent, over-discharge, over-charge, and overtemperature scenarios, complemented by cloud-based real-time monitoring. This comprehensive technological suite enables both powerful performance and low fuel consumption.

Global Market Validation: How Multiple SHS Models Become the Shared Choice for Diverse Users

The value of technology is ultimately validated by the market. Multiple SHS models from OMODA & JAECOO have earned their reputation as proven global bestsellers — not through the isolated success of a single model, but through the comprehensive success of the entire product portfolio across different markets and among different consumer groups.

For example, the JAECOO J7 SHS-P, as the brand's first hybrid model, sets a technological benchmark with its “four class-leading advantages.” In Israel, it topped the country's best-selling models in 2025 with annual sales exceeding 15,000 units. In the UK, January 2026 sales reached a record-breaking 4,059 units, securing the top spot on the UK retail market's best-selling models list for that month and ranking second overall in the market, completely disrupting the existing market landscape. Its blend of refined, off-road-capable styling and new-energy core has made the J7 SHS-P synonymous globally with the "best new energy choice for today."

Similarly, the JAECOO J8 SHS-P, designed for ambitious urban achievers, positions itself as a “SUPER OFF-ROAD FIRST CLASS.” It integrates the strongest hybrid system in its class with top-tier 4WD capability, achieving 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 5.4 seconds and a combined range exceeding 1,300 km. Then there's the OMODA O5 SHS-H, representing the A0-segment SUV. Targeting Neo-Trendy LOHAS enthusiasts, it embodies the“One car, Two Vibes” travel philosophy through its avant-garde design, intelligent cockpit, and versatile powertrain, rapidly gaining acclaim among Europe's young consumers. As the epitome of the “The Neo Crossover SUV,” the OMODA O7 not only won France's 2025 Design Gold Award for its distinctive styling but also shone as a Principal Partner at London Fashion Week. It seamlessly bridges automotive industrial aesthetics with avant-garde fashion trends, offering users not just a vehicle but an integrated lifestyle of cutting-edge sophistication and personal expression.

From technological benchmarks to trend-setting expressions, from luxury off-roading to fashionable crossovers, OMODA&JAECOO answer the same question in different ways: When transportation costs become a daily anxiety, what truly defines a great product? The answer is clear: Deliver driving pleasure, save users money, and provide peace of mind. This isn't a fluke of market timing, but the inevitable payoff of forward-thinking technological strategy.

Fluctuations in the global energy market may subside, but consumers' pursuit of low-energy, long-range mobility solutions is an irreversible trend. With 44.5% thermal efficiency, 3.1L real-world fuel consumption, and 1,613km real-world range—every parameter of SHS technology proves: as fuel prices reshape consumption logic, technology ultimately defines the landscape.

And now is precisely the best time to choose SHS hybrid.

In 2025, Chery Group, the parent company of OMODA&JAECOO, ranked 233rd in the Fortune Global 500, achieving the fastest ascent among global automakers, and maintained its position as China's top passenger vehicle exporter for 23 consecutive years.OMODA&JAECOO takes "Co-Create A Beautiful Life With Young People" as its brand vision, while OMODA focuses on building“The World's Leading Crossover Brand”, JAECOO adheres to the philosophy of "From Classic Beyond Classic" and is committed to building“Global Elegant Off-Road Brand”, and building differentiated competitiveness through dual routes. By 2025, the OMODA&JAECOO brand has expanded into 64 markets worldwide, covering Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and more, demonstrating strong global growth momentum, especially in the European market, becoming the fastest growing car brand in Europe and even the world. In the field of NEVs,OMODA&JAECOO relies on the world's leading SHS technology, with Super High Power, Super Low Efficiency, Super Long Combined Range, while providing efficient new energy solutions for global users, but also steadily advancing towards the objective of becoming the "The World's Number One Hybrid Brand". Notably, beyond its continuous breakthroughs in the core automotive sector, OMODA&JAECOO has extended its technological innovation into the field of intelligent technologies. The robot, jointly developed with the AiMOGA team, has entered real public service scenarios and made its official debut at the Asian Youth Para Games, representing a landmark practice in automakers’ intelligent transformation and further expanding the brand’s value boundaries.
