OMODA & JAECOO’s 2026 International User Summit in Wuhu, China, puts the brands’ next chapter in focus, bringing together new vehicle design, hybrid development and intelligent technology. For drivers in Dubai, the October gathering offers a look at the ideas shaping future products and the wider ownership experience.
Under the theme “DRIVE TO THE NEXT VIBE,” the announced programme centres on three events: OMODA X Night, the OMODA Super Hybrid Marathon and the Super Intelligent Experience Lab. Together, they explore how vehicles can respond to changing expectations around design, efficiency and everyday convenience.
OMODA X Leads the Product Showcase
One of the summit’s headline announcements is the planned debut of OMODA X, scheduled for OMODA X Night on 20 October.
OMODA describes the new model as a bolder expression of its crossover identity, combining sporting design influences with elements inspired by off-road styling. Personalisation is central to its positioning, reflecting the brand’s interest in vehicles that express their owners’ tastes and lifestyles.
The showcase offers an early indication of OMODA’s design direction. UAE specifications and local launch plans will need to be confirmed separately.
Super Hybrid Technology Faces a Longer Test
Hybrid development is another major focus of the summit. The announced long-distance testing programme includes the OMODA 4 SHS-H, OMODA 5 NEXT and OMODA 7 SHS-H, giving the brands an opportunity to demonstrate their Super Hybrid technology across varied driving conditions.
A particular development to watch is the OMODA 7 SHS-H’s announced 5 kWh HEV battery technology. The summit programme positions this as a step forward in the brand’s hybrid offering, with the marathon intended to examine its capabilities beyond a static vehicle display.
For buyers, the useful questions are practical: how smoothly does the powertrain respond, how efficiently does it operate over a longer journey, and how comfortable is the experience behind the wheel? Published results will be more informative than headline promises alone.
Dubai drivers exploring the existing hybrid range can already learn more about the OMODA O7 SHS and JAECOO J7 SHS through AUTORUN. These local model pages provide a separate reference for the vehicles offered in Dubai.
Intelligent Features with an Everyday Purpose
The Super Intelligent Experience Lab is set to feature Super Intelligent Valet Parking (SIVP) and Super Intelligent AI Space (SIAS).
These demonstrations outline the brands’ ambitions for parking assistance and more personalised cabin interaction. Their value for drivers will depend on how clearly, reliably and conveniently they work in everyday use.
Looking Beyond the Vehicle to Charging and Energy
The summit’s technology programme also extends to the infrastructure supporting electrified mobility. According to OMODA & JAECOO’s announcement, a smart energy centre in Wuhu will demonstrate an integrated approach combining solar generation, battery storage and vehicle charging.
The planned experience includes vehicle-to-grid technology, through which compatible electric vehicles can return stored electricity to the grid. The announcement also describes home energy storage and systems designed to make better use of locally generated solar power. These are demonstrations of a wider energy strategy, rather than confirmation that every showcased capability is available on UAE vehicles.
The distinction matters. A vehicle’s charging experience depends on the relationship between the car, the charging equipment and the infrastructure around it. By including these systems in the summit, OMODA & JAECOO is broadening the discussion from vehicle performance to how electrified transport fits into daily life.
Manufacturing Is Part of the Sustainability Story
Alongside new products, the summit announcements highlight efforts to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing.
OMODA & JAECOO reports that renewable energy supplies 52.77% of electricity consumed across its parent company’s vehicle manufacturing facilities, which include five nationally recognised green factories and two zero-carbon factories. The company also points to recycled materials and resource recovery as part of its approach to the vehicle lifecycle.
These initiatives add another dimension to the event: the environmental discussion includes how vehicles are produced, as well as how they are powered on the road.
What the Summit Means for Dubai Drivers
For Dubai customers, the summit provides a useful view of OMODA & JAECOO’s development priorities: distinctive design, continued hybrid investment, more personalised technology and a broader approach to energy use.
The next step is to see how these developments translate into confirmed regional products, specifications and ownership benefits. International announcements provide direction; local information helps buyers make a decision.
