Jaecoo J7 PHEV – over 800 have been sold in Malaysia

Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia has announced that over 800 Jaecoo J7 PHEVs have been registered in the country since its February launch. The company recently held a handover event for 100 buyers.

“We honour our early adopters and look forward to delivering many more units of the Jaecoo J7 PHEV to discerning households looking for a premium SUV that can go the distance,” Omoda | Jaecoo Malaysia VP Emily Lek said.

“With a full tank of fuel and a fully-charged battery, owners can easily travel over 1,300 km (NEDC) without having to stop to refuel or recharge. The J7 PHEV represents the best of both worlds – allowing fully-electric driving in the city with an exceptional all-electric range of 106 km (NEDC) and a highly-efficient journey on long-distance drives,” she added.

The RM159k Jaecoo J7 PHEV is Malaysia’s cheapest plug-in hybrid by miles (the next cheapest is the Volvo S60 T8 Recharge, which costs twice as much). A 143 PS/215 Nm 1.5 litre turbo four-cylinder engine, a 204 PS/310 Nm electric motor and a one-speed dedicated hybrid transmission altogether give you 347 PS and 525 Nm of torque. Watch our review above for the full lowdown.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    Alright, let see J7 PHEV can hold “the cheapest” title for how much longer before next Proton (Geely) or maybe Perodua release their model.

    The only thing stopping me from buying any Chinese project is their reputation. All new upstarts and unproven. If their models can stand the test of time I’m pretty sure 5 years down the road more people including myself will be more open to buying them. It’s just too early to tell now.

    • Like it or not, things have changed than before, at least Chinese cars have improved, not all chinese car brands are not good but only some like byd, xpeng, geely, proton, mg and even chery group are safe to ride
