From purveyors of budget cars to firmly entering the mainstream, Chery has truly come a long way in Malaysia. The company announced today that it has sold 30,073 cars in the country since its mid-2023 relaunch, including 12,930 units in 2025. That’s an average of over 1,000 units every month. See how well the Chery Group did globally in 2025 here.
Just so we’re clear – we’re only talking here about Chery-branded cars. No Jaecoos, no Jetours, no iCaurs, no Omodas (except the old Omoda 5 and E5; yes, it isn’t at all confusing). Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia, a separate entity that sells the Jaecoo J7, Jaecoo J7 PHEV, Jaecoo J8, Omoda C9 and soon the Jaecoo J5, hit the 20,000-unit sales milestone in October 2025.
Chery kicked off its Malaysian rebirth with the Omoda 5 and Tiggo 8 Pro in July 2023. The Omoda E5, its first EV in the country, followed in March 2024, before the launches of the Tiggo 7 Pro in June 2024, the Tiggo Cross in July 2025, the O5 (Omoda 5 facelift) in September 2025 and most recently the Tiggo 7 PHEV and Tiggo 8 PHEV in October 2025.
Chery-branded vehicles are currently assembled at Inokom’s Kulim plant (the Shah Alam plant makes Omodas and Jaecoos), but later this year, the Chery Smart Auto Industrial Park is expected to complete its first construction phase. Located in Hulu Selangor’s Beringin High-Tech Auto Valley, the RM2.2-billion, 200-acre facility targets an initial production capacity of 100,000 units a year.
