The Omoda 5 has surpassed 30,000 units sold in Spain, reshaping the SUV market and accelerating the rise of Chinese automakers. Its rapid growth and electrified lineup have made it a basic player among private buyers.

Omoda 5 has sold between 30,000 and 30,100 units in Spain since its launch in 2024, putting the SUV among the country’s leading contenders and reflecting the growing presence of Chinese brands. Industry publications cite official registration data for the figure.

The story began at the end of 2023, when Omoda 5 was offered with just one gasoline model. Autovidal, the local distributor, then expanded the lineup with electrified versions, helping the SUV compete in one of Spain’s toughest segments. The model sold 7,800 units in its first full year and 10,800 in 2025. By 2026, registrations had reached 11,260, already beating last year’s total before the year even ended. Reports from ANFAC and leading automotive outlets support these figures.

In 2026, the SHS hybrid version accounted for about 88% of Omoda 5 sales in Spain, with nearly 9,958 units registered. Its popularity pushed the model into the top five best-selling SUVs among private buyers. A recent analysis of the Spanish car market noted that the SHS hybrid also placed Omoda 5 among Spain’s top five hybrid vehicles for 2026.

Omoda’s rise reflects how quickly the brand adapted, moving from a single gasoline model to a fully electrified lineup. That shift attracted Spanish buyers seeking value and new technology. Sales in 2026 are already ahead of last year, amid growing demand for hybrids and plug-in hybrids, a trend noted in Spanish automotive reviews.

Spain’s established automakers now face a changing market. Omoda 5’s results show that private buyers are open to new brands, while aggressive pricing and electrification, supported by smart distribution, can make a difference. ANFAC figures show that Omoda and Jaecoo together reached approximately 3.1% of Spain’s passenger car market from January to August 2026, with 25,465 registrations combined, an increase of about 80.2% year on year.
