OMODA & JAECOO, the innovative automotive brand dedicated to pioneering the future of travel, continues to raise the bar for driver safety in line with efforts to improve road safety awareness. With existing five-star safety ratings from both E-NCAP and A-NCAP — two of the most globally authoritative and stringent new car safety certifications — the brand’s OMODA C5 has been recognised for its exceptional standards of safety with a newly earned five-star safety rating from the ASEAN NCAP.

Set to come to the UAE by the end of this year, OMODA & JAECOO is establishing itself as a leader in the market amongst industry peers with the OMODA C5 and its recently announced line-up. The brand’s successful acquisition of multiple global safety certifications for its products positions it to effectively support the UAE’s initiatives in reducing road and vehicle incidents.

After undergoing several safety tests to gain the certification, OMODA C5 achieved a total score of 88.64 points, with “perfect” ratings in 11 out of 18 tests, including the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP), Child Occupant Protection (COP), and Safety Assist (SA) tests. With this certification, OMODA C5 has set a strong standard for all models of its class, achieving the highest score overall.

This achievement underscores OMODA & JAECOO’s unwavering commitment in turning its products into reliable lifestyle companions, facilitated by putting drivers’ safety first. With a rigorous emphasis on reliability and innovation, the brand has focused on ensuring high quality in its R&D processes, including materials, structure, configuration and more — all developed in alignment with global five-star safety criteria to prioritise user safety worldwide.

Commenting on this latest accolade, Shawn Xu, CEO of OMODA & JAECOO Automobile International, said: “This accomplishment reflects the meticulous engineering and advanced safety technologies integrated into the OMODA C5, setting a new benchmark for protection in its class. In the UAE, where road safety is paramount especially during peak hours, the OMODA C5 will be establishing newer standards for driver safety, empowering our customers with the confidence to pursue their aspirations.

At OMODA & JAECOO, we are committed to playing a part in bringing the UAE’s vision for safer roads to life, driven by a core philosophy of safety, innovation, and elevated quality, striving to meet the unique needs of the young and young at heart in the UAE while ensuring they are well protected on the road.”



OMODA C5: Robust Safety Features and Innovative Design

Most notable from the tests conducted for the ASEAN NCAP certification are the OMODA C5’s advanced Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Safety Assist (SA) capabilities. Boasting a 78 per cent high-strength steel body composition, with a tensile strength of 1500 Mpa, the car was revealed to be highly effective at maintaining stability and overall cabin safety throughout impact tests of several strengths. Combined with a comprehensive technological system of 16 intelligent safety features, the car promises safe driving that is both intuitive and effortless on UAE roads.

OMODA C5 was officially awarded the 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating during a media press conference held in Kuala Lumpur, where representatives from MIROS presented the certificate to OMODA & JAECOO.
