The JAECOO J7 PHEV engine is powered by an 18.3kW battery and 60 litre fuel tank that can produce 525 Nm of torque with a seamless transition owing to its dedicated hybrid transmission.

The JAECOO J7 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) has set a remarkable benchmark in fuel efficiency and range, breaking records with an impressive 1,427.5 km on a single tank and charge during a journey from Singapore to Hatyai, Thailand. The long-distance drive, which passed through Malaysia, saw all five vehicles exceed the 1,200 km WLTP range.

“This journey has proven the JAECOO J7 PHEV’s extraordinary performance in real-world conditions. From exceeding range expectations to delivering a fuel consumption of 3.5L/100 km—well below the standard 6.6L/100 km—we’ve shown the JAECOO J7 PHEV’s ability to meet market demands for superior fuel economy and exceptional engine performance.” Emily Lek, Vice President of JAECOO Malaysia.

The JAECOO J7 PHEV features a cutting-edge Super Hybrid System, composed of a fifth-generation 1.5TGDI dedicated hybrid engine, a continuously variable hybrid transmission, and a high-performance battery pack. This advanced system allows for seamless integration of power and efficiency, delivering both impressive torque and fuel savings.

Notably, the JAECOO J7 PHEV is the only vehicle in its class to feature DC fast charging, capable of boosting the battery charge from 30% to 80% in just 20 minutes at 40 kW. In addition to this, the vehicle also offers an AC charger and a slow charging option, providing maximum flexibility for users on the go.

Designed with safety and durability in mind, the JAECOO J7 PHEV boasts a hybrid battery with a thermal management system and advanced impact-resistant armor, ensuring reliability under extreme temperatures and conditions.

In the three-nation long-haul drive, the JAECOO J7 PHEV surpassed its specifications by covering a distance of 947km purely on petrol and achieving a purely electric range of 108km, 18km more than its specifications.

With its official launch set for February 2025, the JAECOO J7 PHEV is primed to offer Malaysian customers an unparalleled blend of performance, fuel efficiency, and cutting-edge hybrid technology.
