The Jaecoo J7 PHEV, set to be officially launched in Malaysia by the end of 2024, shares a similar exterior design to its petrol-powered counterpart. Key differences include its hybrid engine, extended range, DC charging capabilities, and an external output feature that allows users to power electronics like projectors or kettles during outdoor activities.
Available in two variants, the Jaecoo J7 PHEV is estimated to be priced between RM170,000 and RM180,000. The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) variant offers seven driving modes—Economy, Standard, Sport, Sand, Mud, Snow, and Off-Road—while the Two-Wheel Drive (2WD) variant comes with three modes: Standard, Sport, and Economy. The PHEV is equipped with an 18.3kWh battery and a 60-litre fuel tank, producing 525Nm of torque. It also supports fast charging up to 40kW via a DC charger.
Lek further explained, “Fans can customise their Jaecoo J7 PHEV with various colour, rim, and interior upgrade options, staying true to the brand’s essence, ‘From Classic, Beyond Classic.’ Registrations of interest will begin in October, and deliveries are expected to start by February 2025.”
Malaysia has become one of seven nations to participate in a groundbreaking driving marathon, testing the Jaecoo J7 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) over an ultra-long range. Alongside participants from Italy, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, the Malaysian team traveled over 1,300km from Guangzhou to Wuhu, China, on a single tank of fuel and a fully charged battery, without the need for recharging.
The Jaecoo J7 PHEV will be on preview from 23 to 27 October 2024 at Sunway Pyramid (LG2 Orange Wing, near the Orange Concourse). For more information, visit www.jaecoo.com.my or follow Jaecoo Malaysia on social media.
