  • Why ◐. The Omoda article says in words that the +฿20,000 came "after the launch introductory special ended", but the rest of its footnote ("จากเดิม 579,000 เป็น 599,000 บาท มีผล 5 พฤษภาคม – 30 มิถุนายน 2026") is copied from the same-day JAECOO 5 EV MAX+ article. The Omoda-specific figures agree with it (฿629,000 → ฿649,000 is +฿20,000, on 5 May, the same day and step as its CKD sibling the J5 MAX+). Read as an intro on that basis; the end date is the day before the 5 May price.
  • How it is read: ฿629,000 was the only price published at launch, so it stays the launch-day price, as an introductory offer running until 2026-05-04. The 2026-05-05 step to ฿649,000 then reads as the intro ending, not a list increase. The launch MSRP is the regular price, never the intro, whenever the brand has published one, so it is the first regular price, ฿649,000 — the same reading as the GWM Ora 5, whose launch offer and first regular price came the same way. If the ฿709,000 below is confirmed as the list, the launch MSRP moves with it.
  • Open — ฿649,000 may not be the list price. Motorist's Big Motor Sale table (2026-08-253) prints the C5 EV MAX+ at standard retail ฿709,000, standard discounted ฿649,000, BMS special ฿629,000. On the Jaecoo convention (see the Jaecoo page) that makes ฿709,000 the list and ฿649,000 the standing discounted price. Not re-based yet: it needs the OJST site's own price for the C5 first. unverified
