Blog: New Jaecoo 7 Coming Soon
Introducing Jaecoo: A New Challenger in the SUV Market.
There’s a new name in the automotive world, and it’s making its UK debut in style. Meet Jaecoo, the sister brand of fellow Chinese manufacturer Omoda. With a bold approach, Jaecoo is looking to carve out a space in the competitive SUV market with its first offering, the Jaecoo 7.
Set to hit UK roads in January, the Jaecoo 7 combines modern design, cutting-edge technology, and impressive versatility—all at an eye-catching starting price of £29,435. With options ranging from traditional petrol engines to plug-in hybrid powertrains, Jaecoo is positioning itself as a budget-friendly alternative to more established brands.
The Jaecoo 7 comes in two trims: Deluxe and Luxury, and even at the standard level, it offers a surprisingly rich set of features:
- A large touchscreen infotainment system for seamless connectivity.
- Reversing camera and adaptive cruise control for convenience and safety.
- A head-up display and customizable interior lighting for a touch of luxury.
- Wireless phone connectivity and a comprehensive suite of safety features to ensure peace of mind.
Priced at £29,435, the base model comes with a 1.6-litre petrol engine offering 147 horsepower and two-wheel drive. For those seeking more power and efficiency, the plug-in hybrid variant starts at £35,065, delivering a combined 204 horsepower and up to 56 miles of pure electric driving range.
The plug-in hybrid Jaecoo 7 offers a competitive edge in efficiency. With a combined range of up to 745 miles thanks to its 60-litre fuel tank and efficient hybrid system, it promises unmatched versatility for both city commutes and long road trips. Even with the battery depleted, the Jaecoo 7 achieves an impressive 47mpg—a significant improvement over many hybrids, which often struggle with efficiency when relying solely on their petrol engines.
Jaecoo isn’t shy about its ambitions. The brand is targeting competitors like the Range Rover Evoque, BMW X1, and Renault Austral—and confidently claims that the Jaecoo 7 looks and feels larger than all three. With spacious interiors, high-end features, and competitive pricing, Jaecoo aims to deliver an exceptional blend of luxury and value.
Adding to its appeal, Jaecoo is backing its cars with a generous seven-year warranty, ensuring long-term confidence for buyers. The brand will share a network of 100 national and local dealerships with its sister company Omoda, making it easily accessible to consumers across the UK.
