By John Lee. Jameel Motors has signed an agreement with China's Chery Group to distribute the OMODA & JAECOO vehicle brand in Iraq, marking a first market entry for both companies. According to a press release, the distribution rights were secured through a competitive process involving local and international firms. It adds that Iraq's automotive sector, which represents 8 to 10 percent of national imports, is seeing rising demand for New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), particularly among young, tech-savvy consumers. Jameel Motors plans to launch sales of the OMODA C5 and C7, and the JAECOO J5, J7, and J8 models in Q4 2025. Jameel Motors Iraq will be led by Kamal Sultan, an industry veteran with over a decade's experience in the Iraqi market, including senior roles at Toyota Iraq, Nissan Iraq, and several other automotive brands. The partnership aims to expand mobility options, create local jobs, and introduce Chery's intelligent manufacturing standards to Iraq. (Source: Jameel Motors)

2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 3ZR For Sale With Just 2,290 Miles
While the C8 Corvette may be making headlines as the record-setting, supercar-killing, mid-engined American monster that it is, the C7 Corvette still holds a special place in enthusiasts' hearts. The C7 was likely the last front-engined Corvette, a formula that carried the nameplate for seven generations, and this particular one, with a mere 2,290 miles on the odometer, is for sale on Exotic Car Trader. You can check out the listing by clicking here. This example is C7 ZR1, the highest-performance variant unveiled for the 2019 model year, which was also the C7's last year of production. It's finished in Torch Red with Carbon Flash accents and sits on ZR1 Carbon Flash-painted wheels with contrasting red-painted brake calipers. The interior carries the carbon fiber treatment, with a carbon fiber instrument panel, and a leather-wrapped carbon fiber steering wheel. Optional equipment on this one includes the Sueded Microfiber-Wrapped Upper Trim Package and the 3ZR package, which adds a Bose 10-speaker sound system, navigation, Performance Data Recorder, heated and ventilated seats, and front curb-view cameras. Thinking about selling your car? Get a value estimate and list it online with Exotic Car Trader. Click here to learn more. Being the most powerful C7 Corvette you could get, the ZR1 used an all-new 6.2L LT5 V8 engine equipped with a 2.6L Eaton supercharger that was 52% larger than the one used on the Z06 variant. A new fuel injection system was also added to feed the hungry beast along with an upgraded crankshaft, bringing the C8 ZR1's figures to 755 hp, 715 lb⋅ft of torque, and a 214.88 mph top speed. That engine could be mated to either a 7-speed Tremec TR-6070 manual transmission with rev-matching technology or an 8-speed GM 8L90 automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Keeping all of that power planted was plenty of aero equipment developed in collaboration with Pratt & Miller's Corvette racing team. It features a chassis-mounted rear wing, a front splitter, and a new front underbody spoiler. The ZR1 also features an enhanced cooling system, which includes large vents in the front bumpers and on the hood, a larger intercooler, and four additional radiators, for a total of thirteen. That larger cooling system also makes the ZR1 heavier than the Z06, at 3,560 lb. Stopping power is provided by the carbon ceramic brakes, while the double wishbone suspension system with magnetic ride control keeps you comfy off the track. The fact that the Corvette C7 ZR1 is still a machine to be reckoned with speaks volumes about how much passion and character Chevrolet put into it. This is definitely one of the better examples available on the market right now, with incredibly low miles and an extensive list of options to go along with the already mindblowing standard equipment. What might let this one down in the eyes of some enthusiasts is the fact that it's equipped with the automatic transmission, something that also drops its value on the second-hand market. If that doesn't bother you, though, this one could be yours for $185,000. Look at it this way, that's not a bad price to pay for the kind of looks and performance that the Corvette C7 ZR1 provides.

Omoda C7 here soon: SA details released ahead of glamorous Durban July reveal with Khosi Nkosi
The Omoda C7 will launch in South Africa imminently. Image: Supplied Omoda is expanding its South African presence with an all-new SUV model called the C7. It's set to be revealed at this year's Hollywoodbets Durban July, as part of a collaboration with acclaimed fashion house Khosi Nkosi. The new vehicle will be adorned in an artistic wrap created specifically for the event. The Chinese brand has also revealed some of the local details about its new C7 ahead of the official launch. The Khosi Nkosi collaboration introduces a new creative direction for 2025, called Ndlovukazi. Image: Supplied As its name implies, the newcomer will slot between the popular Omoda C5 and luxurious Omoda C9, and although local pricing has not been announced as yet, it is likely to be priced from around R500,000 upwards, given that the C5 X stretches up to R465,900 and the C9 starts at R785,900. Omoda has confirmed that two engines will be offered locally, with the familiar 1.6-litre turbopetrol engine serving as the entry-level option, with outputs of 145kW and 290Nm. Customers will also be able to opt for an 'SHS' plug-in hybrid model, which pairs a 1.5-litre turbopetrol engine with an electric motor for combined outputs of 255kW and 525Nm. Thanks to an 18.4 kWh battery pack, the C7 SHS boasts an all-electric range of up to 105km between charges, according to claims, and a combined range of 1,200km. When connected to a 40kW fast charger, the battery can be replenished from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes, Omoda says. The C7 SHS will be fitted with 20-inch alloy wheels, while both models will feature LED headlights, a Sony sound system, leather upholstery, with heating and power-adjustment upfront, as well as 12 advanced driver assistance features. This year's Khosi Nkosi collaboration introduces a new creative direction called Ndlovukazi, which draws inspiration from Nongquawuse, the young Xhosa prophetess whose life and legacy have long been misrepresented. 'The Omoda X Khosi Nkosi collaboration is the perfect platform to reflect on the rich tapestry of our history,' said Khosi Nkosi. 'Our power lies in honouring our cultural heritage and drawing strength from our roots. With Ndlovukazi symbolising the evolution of Nkosazane, this collaboration is a celebration of identity and a reminder of where true strength comes from. 'A queen needed to be a princess first, so she could be empowered with wisdom and the strength to rule with grace,' added Nkosi. IOL Motoring

OMODA C7 set to arrive in the UAE: Designed for desert heat, engineered for future
OMODA&JAECOO, one of the world's fastest-growing smart mobility brands, has announced its much-anticipated global model, the OMODA C7, will soon make its debut in the UAE market. With an unmistakably futuristic design, state-of-the-art intelligent technologies, and record-breaking heat and range performance, the OMODA C7 is poised to redefine driving standards across the region. The UAE, where extreme summer temperatures and long highway drives are the norm, will soon welcome a vehicle that has proven its endurance in the world's hottest climate. In a daring test in Turpan, China, where surface temperatures soared to 76°C, Shawn Xu, chief executive officer of OMODA & JAECOO Automobile International, personally put the OMODA C7 through a series of punishing high-temperature evaluations. In one such test, the vehicle cabin was heated to 62°C, only to be cooled back to 28.3°C within 15 minutes, thanks to OMODA's advanced air conditioning technology. This real-world performance makes the C7 ideally suited for the Gulf region's scorching summers. But the C7 isn't just about climate resilience. It represents a bold leap into the NEO crossover era, merging bold aesthetics with intelligent mobility. Recently awarded the Gold Medal at the French Design Awards, the OMODA C7 boasts a dynamic exterior, rhythmic lighting, and a one-of-a-kind 15.6-inch star-track sliding screen, a first in its class. Inside, the vehicle offers an ultra-quiet VIP cabin equipped with next-gen smart noise cancellation, creating an oasis of calm amid urban chaos or desert travel. At the heart of the upcoming UAE launch is the C7 SHS (Super Hybrid System), a next-generation super hybrid variant that combines fuel efficiency, electric endurance, and thrilling performance. In global trials, the C7 SHS (Super Hybrid System) completed a record-setting 1,457km Super Hybrid Marathon across diverse terrains, from coastal highways to mountainous backroads. Backed by the revolutionary Super Hybrid System technology, the hybrid model delivers seamless acceleration, best-in-class fuel consumption, and exceptional driving range, making it an ideal partner for long-distance UAE drivers. 'OMODA C7 is more than just a car—it's a lifestyle vehicle created for tomorrow's generation of confident, tech-savvy, and sustainability-focused drivers,' said Xu. 'Its ability to withstand extreme heat, its award-winning design, and its intelligent cabin all reflect our commitment to understanding user needs in every region, especially the Middle East.' The UAE launch of the OMODA C7 will also feature exclusive test drives, co-creation events with users, and digital-first brand experiences aimed at engaging the modern driver. Whether you're navigating the urban roads of Dubai or setting off on a weekend escape to Liwa, the OMODA C7 promises a futuristic, intelligent, and resilient driving experience. With its arrival on the UAE roads just around the corner, OMODA C7 is set to become a milestone in the evolution of crossover SUVs, offering an unmatched blend of design, innovation, and real-world performance under the most demanding conditions.
