VI Motors Adds Omoda and Jaecoo
VI Motors announced on July 10, 2026 that it is the official dealer for Chinese marques OMODA and JAECOO in the British Virgin Islands, debuting four models and highlighting plug-in hybrid and electrified options. The dealership, celebrating its 60th anniversary, says limited stock is arriving at its Duff's Bottom showroom and is inviting buyers, fleet managers and enthusiasts to view the new lineup.
VI Motors has been named the official dealer for OMODA and JAECOO in the British Virgin Islands, the company said in a press release dated July 10, 2026. The move brings a new lineup of technology-focused SUVs and crossovers to the local market and coincides with VI Motors’ 60th anniversary year.
VI Motors is launching with an initial selection of four models designed to meet a range of needs: OMODA C5 – a compact crossover for everyday urban driving JAECOO J5 – a versatile SUV blending practicality with comfort JAECOO J7 – an intelligent SUV engineered for city and adventure use JAECOO J8 PHEV – a flagship plug-in hybrid SUV offering luxury and electrified performance “Allan Parker, Managing Director of VI Motors, described the appointment as ‘an exciting new chapter’ for the company and highlighted the growing global footprint of Chinese automotive brands,” the release said.
Parker noted the importance of offering “innovative, future-focused vehicles” to meet shifting consumer needs. The launch could have several local implications. For private motorists, the new models add more choices in popular SUV and crossover segments, potentially increasing competition on price, features and warranty terms.
Rental agencies, tour operators and other fleet users may find the range appealing — particularly the J8 PHEV — as operators assess fuel savings and the shifting availability of hybrid and electric options in the region. VI Motors cautioned that initial stock is limited and is inviting interested buyers, corporate fleet managers and enthusiasts to visit its Duff’s Bottom showroom to view vehicles firsthand.
Prospective purchasers are advised to confirm pricing, warranty coverage, parts availability and aftersales support with VI Motors before purchase. The appointment follows rapid global sales momentum for OMODA & JAECOO. The brands reported delivering 75,102 vehicles globally in June 2026 — a 178% year-on-year increase — with New Energy Vehicle (NEV) sales of 56,188 units, up roughly 310% from the same month last year.
Cumulative sales for the first half of 2026 reached 379,110 units as the company pursues a one-million-unit annual target. Residents interested in the new arrivals should visit VI Motors’ Duff’s Bottom showroom for demonstrations and local availability, and monitor the dealership for updates on pricing, delivery times and aftersales services.
