Omoda & Jaecoo is planning the Omoda 2 for Brazil’s entry-level compact-SUV segment, where it would take on models including the Volkswagen Tera, Renault Kardian, Chevrolet Sonic, Fiat Pulse and Jeep Avenger. A report by Autoesporte says the company aims to build the vehicle in Brazil and estimates potential production or sales volume at 8,000 units a month; the article does not clarify which measure the figure represents.
The Omoda 2 is described as about 4.20 metres long and intended primarily as a conventional hybrid (HEV) with a flex-fuel combustion engine. The source says few technical details are confirmed. It suggests a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre engine producing under 100 hp could be used, paired with a comparatively modest electric motor, but presents these as expectations rather than confirmed specifications.
The model is expected to be part of a wider locally focused trio that also includes the Jaecoo 3 and Lepas 2, reportedly based on a new platform. The article speculates that a lighter vehicle and battery could help the Omoda 2 reach a starting price below R$120,000, but no price or production schedule has been announced.
