Chinese EV giant Chery is accelerating its entry into Canada, with several test vehicles recently spotted across the Greater Toronto Area.

According to a report by the automotive blog Drive Tesla Canada, the sightings suggest that the company, currently China’s third-largest automaker, is nearing a formal commercial launch, potentially before the end of 2026.

Pedestrians and commuters in Toronto have identified multiple models from Chery’s specialized sub-brands, OMODA and JAECOO. Several posts on Reddit from Toronto users indicate the sightings are becoming more frequent.
