Jaecoo operates in South Africa through the Digi Cars Group — the same distributor that manages Omoda’s SA presence. The shared infrastructure means a single showroom covers both brands, a single service centre handles both products, and a single parts operation supplies both model ranges. For buyers comparing Jaecoo and Omoda, this co-location is a genuine convenience — both vehicles are in the same building.

How the Digi Cars Group Jaecoo Network Works
The Digi Cars Group operates dedicated Omoda/Jaecoo branded dealerships across South Africa’s major markets. These are not multi-brand dealerships with a Jaecoo sticker on a corner — they are purpose-built outlets with the specific retail experience standards that Chery Group requires for its premium export brands.
Digi Cars Group outlets provide:
– New vehicle sales — the full Jaecoo J5, J7, J7 SHS PHEV, J8, and J8 SHS PHEV range
– Authorised service — Jaecoo-trained technicians with SHS hybrid competency
– Parts supply — fast-moving Jaecoo components stocked at major outlets; specialist items sourced from the central Chery Group import and distribution function
– Warranty management — all warranty claims submitted and managed through Digi Cars Group on behalf of Jaecoo SA

What to Confirm Before Your Dealer Visit
SHS PHEV service competency: If you are purchasing a J7 SHS PHEV or J8 SHS PHEV, confirm that the specific outlet’s service centre is trained and equipped for SHS high-voltage system maintenance — not all outlets may have this capability equally well-developed at this stage of the brand’s SA tenure.
Stock vs order: Confirm whether your preferred model, trim, and colour is in dealer stock or requires an order with a lead time. PHEV variants in particular may not be uniformly stocked at all outlets.
Nearest alternative service centre: If your nearest Jaecoo outlet is your primary service centre, confirm the next nearest alternative in case of availability or capacity issues.
Questions to Ask Before You Sign
- Is the J7 SHS PHEV or J8 SHS PHEV in stock in my preferred specification?
- What is the current service plan included with this vehicle?
- Is this outlet’s service centre SHS-certified?
- What is the warranty process if I need a claim outside business hours?
