In October 2025, Omoda and Jaecoo will unveil a new generation of intelligent parking systems—APA and RPA—at the International Customer Summit. The goal is straightforward: ease the strain of urban driving, boost safety, and underscore the brands’ technological ambitions.APA (Automatic Parking Assist) will debut as the flagship feature on the Omoda C7. Calibrated against a thousand real-world parking scenarios, it identifies available space and completes parallel, perpendicular, and angled parking without driver input. When several spots are open, the driver selects the preferred one, and the system charts the path automatically. A particularly practical touch is the “trajectory return” function: the car can back out of a tight dead end by precisely retracing its previous route. It’s the kind of capability that takes the anxiety out of crowded courtyards and cramped urban alleys.RPA (Remote Parking Assist) handles parking from outside the vehicle. The driver can step out and use the key to guide the car into a tight space—or bring it back out. It’s especially useful when squeezing between other vehicles or up against walls where opening the doors is a chore. In practice, it removes the usual dance of inching in and out just to clear enough room to exit.Together, these systems signal Omoda and Jaecoo’s push into smarter, more helpful in-car tech. The companies plan to roll out APA and RPA across all new models in the coming years, positioning their vehicles as everyday digital assistants rather than just a way to get from A to B. The strategy feels timely—and, given how cities are growing denser, entirely sensible.
