Jaecoo J7 PHEV covers 1,300 km on one tank, one charge; plug-in hybrid SUV launching year-end

A contingent comprising Malaysia and six other nations recently drove the Jaecoo J7 PHEV some 1,300 km from Guangzhou to Wuhu, China without refuelling or recharging.

The 13-hour journey saw the group navigate various driving environments including heavy traffic, national roads and intercity expressways. An all-electric range of 125.2 km was achieved, beating the spec sheet’s 106 km NEDC range.

The plug-in hybrid SUV carries a 1.5 TGDi petrol engine and a dedicated hybrid transmission (DHT) with a front axle e-motor that’s fed by a 18.3 kW battery. Total system output? 347 PS and 525 Nm of torque. Full hybrid running gives you a claimed 4.9 litres per 100 km, or 5.99 litres per 100 km in a power-depleted state. The fuel tank holds 60 litres.

The J7 PHEV will be offered in two variants in Malaysia: 2WD and AWD. The former gets Standard, Sport, and Economy modes; the latter adds Sand, Mud, Snow and Off-Road for a total of seven drive modes. Also, this plug-in hybrid can be DC-charged up to 40 kW, and there’s vehicle-to-load (V2L) to power external appliances.

You can register your interest for the Jaecoo J7 PHEV, which will be previewed to the public from October 23-27 at Sunway Pyramid ahead of its Malaysian launch later this year, with deliveries expected to commence in February 2025.

How much? Well, the regular petrol Jaecoo J7 goes for RM138,800 (2WD) and RM148,800 (AWD), so why not take an educated guess?

    Today it’s not abt the mileage only, you need to consider the after sales service reliability, parts prices, reliability of the brand, market perception , whether new models will be better priced and finally resale price.
